关于客户
Founded in Berkeley, USA in 2017, MicroByre is a biotechnology company that uses genetic engineering techniques to modify non-model species into biomanufacturing and genetically tractable model strains. Their focus is on economically viable fermentation from non-agricultural foodstocks by taming and genetically manipulating previously untapped bacteria. Traditional biomanufacturing is limited to non-model organisms that cannot be directly genetically engineered and model organisms that are drastically unsuited to commodity chemical production. MicroByre aims to change the bioengineering landscape by converting non-model species into genetically tractable strains, enabling bioengineers to address some of society's most intractable problems, such as climate change.
挑战
MicroByre faced several challenges in their interdisciplinary research, including the inability to use off-the-shelf Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) due to their unique requirements. They needed a personalized LIMS to increase efficiency and reduce costs of DNA designs, import and store data from legacy systems, and facilitate online collaboration and document sharing among teams. Additionally, they struggled with software that had complicated user interfaces and user experiences, which hindered their workflow and productivity.
解决方案
TeselaGen provided MicroByre with an intuitive and AI-powered platform to store their sequence and strain data, collaborate, and develop and improve their biological designs. The platform offered a high-throughput solution for designing, building, and optimizing biological products, increasing the design and build speed of their R&D. TeselaGen's Operating System for Biotechnology included features such as data standardization, customizable entities, a design editor, a vector editor, modern DNA assembly protocols, and visualization tools for DNA fragments and Sanger sequencing. This comprehensive solution allowed MicroByre to import and manage their biological data easily, design and troubleshoot plasmid designs efficiently, and collaborate effectively with their teams.

Flow Robotics: Scaling Up Production and Accelerating Product Development with IoT
Flow Robotics, a Danish manufacturer, developed flowbot™ ONE pipetting robots to alleviate the strain on bioanalysts in life-science laboratories and hospitals across Europe. These robots were designed to automate part of the testing process, speeding up the time it takes to produce results and reducing pressure on staff. However, the company faced challenges in scaling up production and accelerating product development. High workloads and physically challenging conditions have long been an issue for laboratory professionals. Flow Robotics estimates that around half of medical lab technicians carry out the same arm movements for at least a quarter of their working day. The American Society for Clinical Pathology reported that 85% of laboratory professionals feel burnt out; 36% struggle with inadequate staffing; and 32% face a heavy workload and pressure to complete all testing on time.

Revolutionizing Aerospace Industry with 3D Printing: A 63% Lighter Titanium Part
GE Aviation, a renowned name in the aerospace industry, recognized the potential of 3D printing technology in transforming the sector. The primary challenge was to reduce the weight of the aerospace parts, which would directly impact the fuel costs. A lighter airplane would mean lower fuel consumption, leading to cost savings and a smaller carbon footprint. However, achieving this weight reduction without compromising the strength and functionality of the parts was a significant challenge. Traditional manufacturing methods were not able to provide the desired weight reduction while maintaining the required stiffness and strength of the parts. The challenge was to find a solution that could create strong, light, and functional aerospace parts.

Material Intelligence at Ethicon: Sustaining Medical Device Manufacturability and Improving Patient Care
Ethicon, a world-class medical devices company, faced several challenges in its operations. The rapid selection of manufacturing materials compliant in global markets was critical to assure patients, practitioners, and purchasing organizations of the biocompatibility of their medical devices. Ensuring supply chain continuity and minimizing risks of obsolescence for medical devices due to regulatory changes were also crucial in meeting Ethicon’s ongoing commitment to maintaining patient care. Furthermore, the engineers at Ethicon were developing the next generation of medical devices and needed to access historical material data to accelerate new product development. The process of centralizing and digitalizing its materials information was a significant challenge that Ethicon needed to overcome.

IWT's Transformation: Customizing with Efficiency in IoT
IWT, a company specializing in the design, manufacture, and installation of washing systems for the life sciences and pharmaceutical industries, faced a significant challenge in managing its wide product portfolio. The company manufactures 45 different models, 60% of which are customized to some degree. This high level of customization, combined with limited production quantities, necessitated a controlled process for managing the release of engineering changes. The goal was to achieve efficiency, reduce process time, and better coordinate production throughout the organization. The need for strict compliance in heavily regulated industries further complicated the situation. IWT's existing PLM journey with Dassault Systèmes’ SOLIDWORKS for 3D CAD and Enovia for managing CAD data and Bills of Materials (BOMs) was proving inadequate. The system had limited part classification, no workflow, and no tool to ensure data consistency. The management of non-CAD documents was also a challenge, with information often difficult to find and access.
