关于客户
Endurance Technologies 是印度领先的汽车零部件制造公司之一。该公司于 1986 财年成立，最初拥有两台铝铸造机，现已发展到在印度运营 18 家工厂，在欧洲运营 7 家工厂。如今，Endurance Technologies 是印度最大的铝压铸制造商，也是铝压铸（包括合金轮毂）、悬架、变速箱和制动系统领域领先的汽车零部件制造商之一。该公司将创新与技术作为其重点关注领域，并相信研发活动对于保持行业领先地位和提供竞争优势至关重要。它为每个产品业务设有四个专门的研发中心和一个专门的知识产权 (IP) 单元。
挑战
汽车原始设备制造商 (OEM) 越来越期望其供应商提升价值链并成为发展合作伙伴。这涉及供应商从概念阶段就参与联合研发 (R&D) 活动，在整个产品开发过程中采用更具协作性的方法。汽车供应商竞争力的关键因素包括缩短产品开发时间、一次成功的产品以及以可承受的成本提供具有卓越技术的高价值产品。然而，由于预算限制以及雇用和留住专家人力的困难，与原始设备制造商相比，汽车供应商在拥有内部仿真能力方面面临着挑战。获取相关数据来验证设计并建立强大的虚拟/测试方法以满足 OEM 期望是供应商关心的另一个问题。
解决方案
为了克服这些挑战，原始设备制造商坚持要求零部件供应商投资模拟技术。解决这些问题的方法之一是投资模拟技术，这些技术需要负担得起的初始投资，拥有成本低，并提供可靠且经过验证的代码。这些工具应该为供应商提供广泛的求解器（多物理环境）以满足他们的仿真要求。它们还应该易于使用，以便现有的人力可以快速学习并提高熟练程度。 Altair HyperWorks® 通过其获得专利的基于单元的许可系统，让客户能够在一个保护伞下访问多个求解器。这使得用户能够根据当前的挑战应用正确的求解器，从而使其成为组织以可承受的投资通过可靠和准确的模拟测试实现稳健的产品设计的明智选择。

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.
