关于客户
Cyclone Racing 是爱荷华州立大学的 Formula SAE 团队，由 40 多名活跃成员组成，他们每年设计、制造、测试和比赛一辆方程式赛车。该车队在林肯方程式赛事中与来自 7 个不同国家的约 80 支车队参赛，在北方方程式赛事中与约 30 支不同车队参赛。 Cyclone Racing 目前在 550 支车队中排名美国第 4 位，全球排名第 14 位。该团队主要依靠私人赞助和爱荷华州立大学的支持运作。他们会根据专业赛车队的大部分方面进行评估和评判，包括通过一系列演示活动获得的工程和营销方面的工作知识。
挑战
爱荷华州立大学的 Formula SAE 车队 Cyclone Racing 面临着减轻最新车辆 CR22 重量的挑战，特别是减轻车辆后部空气动力翼的重量。前一年的赛车有一个沉重的内部机翼结构，导致比赛期间过度侧倾和不稳定。该团队的目标是为 SAE 方程式赛车设计一款轻质但极其坚固的改良鹅颈翼支架。面临的挑战是确保新设计不仅能减轻整个机翼组件的重量，而且还能确保其非常坚固和坚硬，能够承受严酷的比赛。
解决方案
该团队在概念设计过程的初始阶段求助于 SolidThinking Inspire（一种仿真工具），为安装座生成新的设计概念。该工具用于在外部 CAD 工具中为支架创建初始设计空间。在 Inspire 中进行多次不同的迭代后，团队能够为支架选择最终的优化设计。然后使用 Inspire 和第三方分析和验证工具对设计进行模拟和分析，以确保零件的性能。一旦设计得到验证，团队就进入制造过程，使用水射流切割制造新支架，这是一种快速且经济高效的方法。

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.

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.
