关于客户
伊顿是一家领先的电力管理公司，在 175 个不同国家拥有约 90,000 名员工。该公司以制造车桥起家，已有一百多年的历史。在过去的二十年里，伊顿经历了巨大的转型，扩展到电气、航空航天、液压和汽车电动汽车等领域。 2020 年，该公司的销售额约为 180 亿美元，其中电气部门的销售额略高于 110 亿美元，包括汽车电动汽车在内的工业部门的销售额略高于 600 万美元。
挑战
伊顿是一家领先的电源管理公司，在竞争激烈的电动汽车 (EV) 市场中面临着缩短上市时间和提高盈利能力的挑战。传统的制造环境的特点是各个部门各自为政，拥有自己的数据库和流程，阻碍了及时、准确和有效的协作。考虑到目前供应链短缺的普遍情况，这一问题尤其严重。该公司需要一种解决方案，使其能够快速了解设计对供应链的影响，在设计过程的早期识别潜在的可制造性问题，并更快地进行创新。
解决方案
伊顿采用制造仿真来改善采购并建立弹性供应链。该公司采用了 aPriori，一种基于云的数字制造工具，允许所有部门访问单一、一致的数据库。这在所有部门之间创建了一条“数字主线”，实现了整个产品开发生命周期的无缝连接。 aPriori 系统使伊顿能够从设计工程和采购的角度检查新产品设计，以最少的用户输入生成丰富的数据内容。该系统还使公司能够了解产品的几何形状如何影响可制造性和成本，在短短几分钟内生成成本模型，并立即进行设计和材料更改。此外，aPriori 允许伊顿比较全球多个地区的产品价格，帮助他们确定在哪里可以节省最多的时间、金钱和资源。

Case Study
Airbus Soars with Wearable Technology
Building an Airbus aircraft involves complex manufacturing processes consisting of thousands of moving parts. Speed and accuracy are critical to business and competitive advantage. Improvements in both would have high impact on Airbus’ bottom line. Airbus wanted to help operators reduce the complexity of assembling cabin seats and decrease the time required to complete this task.
Case Study
Aircraft Predictive Maintenance and Workflow Optimization
First, aircraft manufacturer have trouble monitoring the health of aircraft systems with health prognostics and deliver predictive maintenance insights. Second, aircraft manufacturer wants a solution that can provide an in-context advisory and align job assignments to match technician experience and expertise.
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
Aerospace & Defense Case Study Airbus
For the development of its new wide-body aircraft, Airbus needed to ensure quality and consistency across all internal and external stakeholders. Airbus had many challenges including a very aggressive development schedule and the need to ramp up production quickly to satisfy their delivery commitments. The lack of communication extended design time and introduced errors that drove up costs.
