关于客户
POLYRACK TECH-GROUP is a leading German manufacturer of packaging solutions for electronic equipment. The company produces both standard and customized electronic packaging systems, including subracks, cases, industrial PC applications, and plug-in-modules. POLYRACK's products are used in various industries such as communications, broadcast, security, defense, transportation, utilities, and medical sectors, as well as in test and measurement environments. The company has been utilizing SOLIDWORKS design and electronics cooling simulation tools for several years to enhance its development processes. Recently, POLYRACK sought a new design solution to quickly model design concepts, support faster proposal development, and improve collaboration with global customers.
挑战
POLYRACK TECH-GROUP needed to streamline the development of initial concept designs to shorten the sales cycle, compress development time, and accelerate time-to-market. The company identified the need for a new design solution for quickly modeling design concepts to support faster proposal development and improve collaboration with global customers. Traditional CAD methods were time-consuming, taking a couple of weeks to create early 3D concepts that required some early validation of motion and stresses. This inefficiency was a bottleneck in their development process, leading to delays in securing customer approvals and decisions on prototypes.
解决方案
POLYRACK implemented SOLIDWORKS Conceptual Design software to address its challenges. The company participated in the SOLIDWORKS Conceptual Design Lighthouse Program, which allowed them to use the software in production as part of prerelease testing. This early usage confirmed that the software would help streamline the development of early design concepts, shorten the sales cycle, compress development time, and accelerate time-to-market. SOLIDWORKS Conceptual Design enabled POLYRACK to create early 3D concepts more efficiently, simulate movements and relationships of parts, and validate structural performance. The software's Direct Editing capabilities facilitated faster and easier design changes, even for customer models received as STEP files. Additionally, the social collaboration features of SOLIDWORKS Conceptual Design improved and accelerated collaboration with international customers by providing a running, blog-like tally of a design concept's progression within a specific online community.

Case Study
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.
Case Study
Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.
Case Study
Gas Pipeline Monitoring System for Hospitals
This system integrator focuses on providing centralized gas pipeline monitoring systems for hospitals. The service they provide makes it possible for hospitals to reduce both maintenance and labor costs. Since hospitals may not have an existing network suitable for this type of system, GPRS communication provides an easy and ready-to-use solution for remote, distributed monitoring systems System Requirements - GPRS communication - Seamless connection with SCADA software - Simple, front-end control capability - Expandable I/O channels - Combine AI, DI, and DO channels

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.
