关于客户
Euro-Pro 是一家充满活力的消费品制造商，连续三年被 Inc. 杂志评为美国发展最快的私营公司之一。 1997 年至 2013 年间，该公司的收入增长了两倍，从不足 3 亿美元增至超过 9 亿美元。 Euro-Pro 的产品库中拥有多个家喻户晓的品牌，包括 Ninja 搅拌机和 Shark 吸尘器。该公司的工程团队主要位于中国，而研发（R&D）则在美国进行。研发团队使用计算机辅助工程（CAE）工具和技术进行分析和测试，为产品上市做准备。
挑战
Euro-Pro 是一家快速发展的消费品制造商，在产品开发过程中面临着挑战。该公司的产品开发严重依赖物理原型测试，这种测试既耗时又昂贵，而且往往无法全面了解跌落或冲击等测试过程中的产品行为。该公司希望增加模拟的使用，以对难以或不可能进行物理测试的场景（例如内部结构故障）进行更深入的分析。目标是更准确地识别产品故障的根本原因，并为工程和产品设计团队提供更好的指导。该公司还计划在将材料引入下一代产品之前对其进行测试，希望在市场吸引力、质量、可靠性和耐用性方面对整个产品组合方向产生积极影响。
解决方案
Euro-Pro 向 Altair HyperWorks® 寻求解决方案。该公司开始使用可通过 HPC 云基础设施访问的 Altair 求解器（OptiStruct、RADIOSS 和 AcuSolve）进行结构分析和跌落模拟。 HyperMesh® 用于校正几何形状，仅网格划分就节省了约 50% 的时间。与物理测试相比，有限元分析 (FEA) 可以更深入地了解影响和横截面。 RADIOSS® 和 AcuSolve® 分别提供准确且经济高效的结构分析和计算流体动力学 (CFD) 解决方案。该公司使用这些工具开发了真空吸尘器部分的有限元表示，并对它们进行了各种跌落测试和冲击场景。这有助于分析师更好地了解潜在问题的根本原因，使他们能够纠正设计问题，而无需在故障报告时不断构建和测试模型。该公司通过 HyperWorks On-Demand™ 访问这些解决方案，HyperWorks On-Demand™ 是一种高性能计算 (HPC) 解决方案，基于 Altair 获得专利的基于使用的许可模型，用于云中的设计创新。

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.
