关于客户
联合利华是一家跨国消费品公司,产品范围广泛,包括食品、饮料、清洁剂和个人护理产品。该公司致力于减少其产品对环境的影响,并正在寻求一种解决方案,以最大限度地减少包装中使用的材料,同时保持其强度和耐用性。联合利华拥有一支才华横溢的 CAD 工程师团队,但缺乏计算机辅助工程 (CAE) 用户,而这对于实施先进的虚拟仿真技术来优化包装设计是必需的。
挑战
消费品巨头联合利华面临着减少其产品对环境影响的挑战。该公司需要找到一种方法,最大限度地减少包装中使用的材料,同时确保其强度足以承受运输负载和各种使用条件。面临的挑战是使用先进的虚拟仿真技术优化联合利华的包装设计。然而,当时联合利华并没有雇用很多计算机辅助工程 (CAE) 用户,而是拥有一支非常有才华的 CAD 工程师团队。
解决方案
Altair ProductDesign 与联合利华的 CAD 工程师团队合作开发了“Atlas”系统,这是一个高度定制的初级、二级和三级包装虚拟测试实验室,封装在用户友好的通用界面中。 Atlas 系统由 Altair 自己的虚拟仿真套件 HyperWorks 提供支持,该套件利用了其建模、自动化和优化技术。它与联合利华现有的设计工具和测试环境集成。创建模块用于制造模拟(ISBM 和 EBM),并探索使用、意外和运输负载对新包装设计的影响。该系统还能够根据联合利华自己的工作实践自动报告结果,以进一步减少人工工作量。

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

IoT-based Fleet Intelligence Innovation
Speed to market is precious for DRVR, a rapidly growing start-up company. With a business model dependent on reliable mobile data, managers were spending their lives trying to negotiate data roaming deals with mobile network operators in different countries. And, even then, service quality was a constant concern.

Digitize Railway with Deutsche Bahn
To reduce maintenance costs and delay-causing failures for Deutsche Bahn. They need manual measurements by a position measurement system based on custom-made MEMS sensor clusters, which allow autonomous and continuous monitoring with wireless data transmission and long battery. They were looking for data pre-processing solution in the sensor and machine learning algorithms in the cloud so as to detect critical wear.

Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
