关于客户
Husqvarna Group is a Swedish global leading producer of outdoor power products for forest, park, and garden care. The company has a more than 300-year legacy of producing high-quality, leading-edge products centered around their customer needs and businesses. One of the reasons Husqvarna Group has been able to remain such a successful company for over a century is because of its ability to evolve with shifting technology and customer demands. The company is committed to sustainability and has established a group-wide Sustainability program “Sustainovate”, including publicly recognized and testified CO2 reduction targets for the year 2035.
挑战
Husqvarna Group, a leading producer of outdoor power products, was looking to evolve with shifting technology and customer demands. They were interested in exploring how 3D printing and additive manufacturing could drive impact for their business. The challenge was to identify parts that could be made more efficiently and sustainably through additive manufacturing, driving a reduced carbon footprint, improved customer experience, and lower costs. The parts needed to be produced at production scale and quality, and they needed to pass rigorous testing and certification for production and sale.
解决方案
Fast Radius worked closely with Husqvarna Group to identify parts that could be made more efficiently and sustainably through additive manufacturing. They used their extensive knowledge of additive technologies to determine the best approach for producing the parts based on price and performance needs. HP® Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) and Carbon Digital Light Synthesis (DLS) were identified as the ideal technologies for a broad set of Husqvarna Group’s replacement parts. After identifying families of parts that could be produced with additive manufacturing, they performed various tests to validate their performance and durability, and certify them for production and sale. An initial batch of parts has already passed Husqvarna Group’s rigorous Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) and are now being stored in the Fast Radius Virtual Warehouse.

Case Study
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.
Case Study
Integration of PLC with IoT for Bosch Rexroth
The application arises from the need to monitor and anticipate the problems of one or more machines managed by a PLC. These problems, often resulting from the accumulation over time of small discrepancies, require, when they occur, ex post technical operations maintenance.
