About The Customer
Enphase Energy is a company that specializes in making solar power solutions simple and energy smart for both commercial and residential applications. As an engineering-driven organization, Enphase has always prioritized systematic management of product processes. From its early days as a startup, the company implemented Arena as its product lifecycle management (PLM) platform. Over the years, Arena has grown with Enphase, helping the company manage product development and quality processes both internally and across its complex supply chain. Enphase is committed to innovation, quality, and sustainability, driving all its operations with these core values.
The Challenge
Enphase Energy, an engineering-driven company specializing in solar power solutions, faced the challenge of managing product processes systematically from its early startup days. The company needed a stable platform to handle product development and quality processes internally and across its complex supply chain. As Enphase grew, the need for a robust system to manage design for manufacturability (DFM) and ensure quality and cost goals became critical. The company also required a solution to streamline its document control and analytics processes, which were previously time-consuming and prone to becoming outdated quickly.
The Solution
To address its challenges, Enphase Energy implemented Arena as its product lifecycle management (PLM) platform from its early startup days. This platform provided the stability needed to manage product development and quality processes. Enphase expanded its use of Arena beyond core product and quality processes to include other related activities. The company also integrated contract manufacturers into the product design decisions, ensuring that DFM goals were met. Arena Analytics was introduced to automate business process analysis, helping Enphase track progress, identify bottlenecks, and drive processes to completion. This automation freed up the Document Control team to focus on more strategic tasks, significantly reducing the time spent on manual data analysis.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

Vestas: Turning Climate into Capital with Big Data
Making wind a reliable source of energy depends greatly on the placement of the wind turbines used to produce electricity. Turbulence is a significant factor as it strains turbine components, making them more likely to fail. Vestas wanted to pinpoint the optimal location for wind turbines to maximize power generation and reduce energy costs.

Siemens Wind Power
Wind provides clean, renewable energy. The core concept is simple: wind turbines spin blades to generate power. However, today's systems are anything but simple. Modern wind turbines have blades that sweep a 120 meter circle, cost more than 1 million dollars and generate multiple megawatts of power. Each turbine may include up to 1,000 sensors and actuators – integrating strain gages, bearing monitors and power conditioning technology. The turbine can control blade speed and power generation by altering the blade pitch and power extraction. Controlling the turbine is a sophisticated job requiring many cooperating processors closing high-speed loops and implementing intelligent monitoring and optimization algorithms. But the real challenge is integrating these turbines so that they work together. A wind farm may include hundreds of turbines. They are often installed in difficult-to-access locations at sea. The farm must implement a fundamentally and truly distributed control system. Like all power systems, the goal of the farm is to match generation to load. A farm with hundreds of turbines must optimize that load by balancing the loading and generation across a wide geography. Wind, of course, is dynamic. Almost every picture of a wind farm shows a calm sea and a setting sun. But things get challenging when a storm goes through the wind farm. In a storm, the control system must decide how to take energy out of gusts to generate constant power. It must intelligently balance load across many turbines. And a critical consideration is the loading and potential damage to a half-billion-dollar installed asset. This is no environment for a slow or undependable control system. Reliability and performance are crucial.

Remote Monitoring and Control for a Windmill Generator
As concerns over global warming continue to grow, green technologies are becoming increasingly popular. Wind turbine companies provide an excellent alternative to burning fossil fuels by harnessing kinetic energy from the wind and converting it into electricity. A typical wind farm may include over 80 wind turbines so efficient and reliable networks to manage and control these installations are imperative. Each wind turbine includes a generator and a variety of serial components such as a water cooler, high voltage transformer, ultrasonic wind sensors, yaw gear, blade bearing, pitch cylinder, and hub controller. All of these components are controlled by a PLC and communicate with the ground host. Due to the total integration of these devices into an Ethernet network, one of our customers in the wind turbine industry needed a serial-to-Ethernet solution that can operate reliably for years without interruption.
