关于客户
Digital Design Corporation (DDC) 是一家提供高端设计服务和产品的工程咨询公司。该公司专注于各种军事、汽车、医疗和其他工业市场的视频接口、增强和记录、图像处理、通信、DSP 和音频。 DDC 架构、设计和实现 IC（FPGA、ASIC 等）、相关电路和软件以及包含它们的系统。该公司拥有 400 多年累积的数字设计经验，负责从概念到铸造的整个过程，包括从初始架构到完整设计和验证的一切，包括提供原型和/或生产构建和支持的能力。
挑战
Digital Design Corporation (DDC) 在设计能够记录、处理和分析视频图像数据的系统时面临着复杂的挑战。设计要求非常苛刻，包括需要承受军事和恶劣工业应用中典型的极端温度和环境。该系统还必须在紧凑的尺寸内应对嘈杂的电源、高重力和振动。设计过程需要各个学科之间的密切合作，包括系统、原理图、电路板、机械、芯片、固件和软件设计。现代数字设计涉及的高频需要广泛的经验基础和高性能工具。 DDC 的视频和高级数据记录器 (VAADR) 专为军事航空电子应用而设计，其大部分功能位于与可移动存储模块连接的一块控制器板上。设计中使用的大尺寸 FPGA 给电路板设计和布局带来了巨大的挑战。
解决方案
DDC 使用 Altium Designer 为其硬件设计人员提供集成设计环境。该工具凭借其全面的库、智能自动化和跨学科集成，使 DDC 能够快速平衡其最苛刻产品中的所有设计权衡。 Altium Designer 的内置组件库使创建原理图变得更加容易，即使使用 DDC 所依赖的大型 Altera 和 Xilinx FPGA 也是如此。数据密集型步骤的自动化加速了设计过程并有助于消除错误。原理图和电路板设计的集成也促进了高效、无差错的设计周期。设计完成后，Altium Designer 自动生成制造输出文件。随着 VAADR 的测试、修改和环境测试，DDC 使用 Altium Designer 对电路板进行了大量修改和改进。

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).

Hydro One Leads the Way In Smart Meter Development
In 2010, Ontario’s energy board mandated that time-of-use (TOU) pricing for consumers be available for all consumers on a regulated price plan. To meet this requirement, Hydro One needed to quickly deploy a smart meter and intelligent communications network solution to meet the provincial government’s requirement at a low cost. The network needed to cover Hydro One’s expansive service territory, which has a land mass twice the size of Texas, and its customers live in a mix of urban, rural, and remote areas, some places only accessible by air, rail, boat or snowmobile. Most importantly, the network needed to enable future enterprise-wide business efficiencies, modernization of distribution infrastructure and enhanced customer service. To meet these needs, Hydro One conceptualized an end-to-end solution leveraging open standards and Internet Protocols (IP) at all communication levels. The utility drew upon industry leaders like Trilliant to realize this vision.

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.
