DENSO, a leading automotive and Fortune 500 company, operates globally in 35 countries and regions around the world and manufactures a wide variety of components. In its non-automotive business, DENSO is working to industrialize smart agriculture using factory automation and sensing technologies. Within the thermal management systems team, a core businesses at DENSO, new initiatives are underway to respond to electric vehicles and automated driving. Product development for thermal systems in electric vehicles involves the development of a key element of the thermal system, the product development in the thermal systems requires unconventional technologies and methods. It is essential to consider a variety of factors when undertaking new designs. Because of the limitations of manual checking through prototyping, simulation is becoming even more important to improve development efficiency. Mr. Ogawa has championed the development and promotion of simulation methods and tools in the Heat Exchanger R&D Division, which develops heat exchangers used in air conditioners and radiators, key components of thermal systems, and he describes the difficulties of utilizing simulation.
解决方案
In 2017, DENSO's Heat Exchanger R&D Division selected Rescale and began to implement it, following necessary security checks and setting up their existing software licenses in a license server on Rescale ScaleX. DENSO’s engineering and IT teams leaned on the support of Rescale and its partners to arrange documentation to ensure compliance with the automotive industry association’s guidelines for the use of cloud services, as well as to develop the network and data security. The Heat Exchanger Development Division provided one hour of education to designers on Rescale ScaleX, with overseas members participating online. The system can be easily operated with a web browser, so once mastered, all development members are using it without any problems. In 2019, DENSO chose to pursue the use a culmination of many open-source software for large-scale parallel calculations and without licensing costs. The Heat Exchanger R&D Division collaborated with Dr. Atsushi Suzuki of Cybermedia Center, Osaka University, Japan to conduct simulations using an open-source software for finite element method, FreeFEM, which is developed and maintained by the J.-L. Lions Laboratory at the Sorbonne University, France.

Case Study
Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).
Case Study
Monitoring of Pressure Pumps in Automotive Industry
A large German/American producer of auto parts uses high-pressure pumps to deburr machined parts as a part of its production and quality check process. They decided to monitor these pumps to make sure they work properly and that they can see any indications leading to a potential failure before it affects their process.
