关于客户
Shiva Tool Tech 是一家位于印度浦那的工业巨头，专注于汽车制造。该公司在重力铸造 (GDC)、低压铸造 (LPDC)、高压铸造 (HPDC) 模具设计和制造方面拥有超过 25 年的经验，为客户提供从制造工艺设计到生产阶段的支持。制造工艺包括铣削、钻孔、淬火、磨削、计算机数控 (CNC) 加工、放电加工 (EDM)、检查和抛光，以获得铸造模具的最终组装。该公司设计和制造汽车和非汽车部件的铸造模具，如支架、曲轴箱、壳体、气缸盖、压缩机壳体、歧管、合金轮毂等。
挑战
Shiva Tool Tech 是一家位于印度浦那的汽车制造公司，专门设计和制造重力压铸 (GDC)、低压压铸 (LPDC) 和高压压铸 (HPDC) 模具。该公司为客户提供从制造工艺设计到生产阶段的支持。然而，该公司在获得无缺陷模具设计方面面临挑战。铸造模具设计是根据多年从客户处获得的组件经验（以计算机辅助设计 (CAD) 和工程草案的形式）开发的。一旦设计好铸件模具，就会在他们的工厂制造和组装。然后将模具发送给客户进行物理铸造试验。用新模具制造的铸件被送回 Shiva Tool Tech，并附上检查报告和发现的缺陷。然后修改模具设计以消除缺陷。整个过程大约需要 3-4 次物理迭代才能获得无缺陷的模具设计。该公司意识到仿真软件在优化设计和制造流程以节省时间和金钱方面的价值。然而，外包模拟既昂贵又耗时。
解决方案
为了克服这些挑战，Shiva Tool Tech 决定通过投资模拟软件来引入内部专业知识。他们选择了 Altair 的铸造仿真软件 Inspire Cast，该软件满足了他们对易用性、结果准确性、计算分析速度、丰富的结果可视化的要求，同时又不超出预算。 Shiva Tool Tech 的更新流程现在涉及 Inspire Cast 分两个阶段。收到铸造零件的 CAD 后，模型将被传送到 Inspire Cast，以便使用零件上的虚拟浇注系统运行模拟。根据所需的模拟结果确定浇口位置后，即可在 CAD 中设计组件的注射模型。然后将注射模型传送至 Inspire Cast 进行详细的铸造模拟，以了解出现的缺陷。该方法经过修改，通过改变浇口尺寸、形状以及添加立管和冷却器来减少或消除缺陷。

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.
