关于客户
BLOCK Transformatoren-Elektronik is a leading manufacturer in the field of coiled products used in various industries, particularly electronics applications. The company designs custom transformers, power supplies, EMC filters, and reactors that must meet precise specifications regarding working frequencies, product sizes and weights, electrical power losses, electrical insulation, and environmental conditions such as dirt, temperature changes, or moisture. The equipment often needs to have a product lifetime of 30 years. BLOCK's engineers are dedicated to providing high-quality, customized solutions to their customers, ensuring that their products meet the stringent requirements of different applications.
挑战
BLOCK Transformatoren-Elektronik faced increasing difficulty in designing inductors and transformers with aging simulation software. The company needed to reduce the number of prototypes created before finalizing a design to save costs and improve services. The challenge was to meet precise specifications concerning working frequencies, product sizes and weights, electrical power losses, electrical insulation, and varying environmental conditions. Additionally, the equipment needed to have product lifetimes of 30 years. The company sought a solution that would allow them to quickly and accurately improve designs while reducing the number of physical prototypes.
解决方案
BLOCK turned to COMSOL Multiphysics software for its ease of use, flexibility, and HPC capabilities. The software allowed BLOCK to insert their own formulas developed over years for various characteristics and use them in simulations. The HPC capabilities of COMSOL Multiphysics enabled BLOCK to run simulations on a multicore workstation and a cluster with no limit to the number of compute nodes. This improved efficiency and allowed the R&D team to quickly deliver the best products to customers. The flexible nature of COMSOL and its support for distributed memory computing allowed BLOCK to get the most out of their hardware. The architecture of the COMSOL software enabled BLOCK to be more productive and service their customers better. The Application Builder in COMSOL allowed employees at all levels to run simulations effortlessly, making the design process more efficient and competitive.

Case Study
Smart Water Filtration Systems
Before working with Ayla Networks, Ozner was already using cloud connectivity to identify and solve water-filtration system malfunctions as well as to monitor filter cartridges for replacements.But, in June 2015, Ozner executives talked with Ayla about how the company might further improve its water systems with IoT technology. They liked what they heard from Ayla, but the executives needed to be sure that Ayla’s Agile IoT Platform provided the security and reliability Ozner required.

Remote Temperature Monitoring of Perishable Goods Saves Money
RMONI was facing temperature monitoring challenges in a cold chain business. A cold chain must be established and maintained to ensure goods have been properly refrigerated during every step of the process, making temperature monitoring a critical business function. Manual registration practice can be very costly, labor intensive and prone to mistakes.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.

Premium Appliance Producer Innovates with Internet of Everything
Sub-Zero faced the largest product launch in the company’s history:It wanted to launch 60 new products as scheduled while simultaneously opening a new “greenfield” production facility, yet still adhering to stringent quality requirements and manage issues from new supply-chain partners. A the same time, it wanted to increase staff productivity time and collaboration while reducing travel and costs.
