The Challenge
AMOG Consulting, a specialist service provider to various sectors including marine construction, government organizations, and offshore oil and gas, was facing several challenges. The company needed to accelerate the simulation-to-design process in a high-technology multidisciplinary engineering environment. They aimed to improve quality by utilizing one 3-D CAD model for all engineering disciplines. The company also wanted to provide clients with more robust and advanced designs within their budgets. Another challenge was to create a bridge between CAD hydrodynamic, fluid dynamic, and structural simulations. The need for a streamlined process was evident to meet industry demands for a more robust and optimized product.
About The Customer
AMOG Consulting is an engineering consultancy based in Australia. The company uses a simulation-driven design process to accelerate engineering and design development time. They offer a broad range of specialist services to various sectors including marine construction companies, government organizations, engineering and environmental consultants, and the offshore oil and gas, mining, and process and defense sectors in high-technology niche areas. Their goal is to meet industry demands for a more robust and optimized product by utilizing state-of-the-art analytical software from ANSYS, Inc.
The Solution
AMOG Consulting adopted Autodesk Inventor software to generate detailed parameterized 3-D CAD models that are exchanged with various simulation software packages from ANSYS. The model is modified in the ANSYS® DesignModeler™ tool and meshed using the ANSYS® Workbench ™ platform or the CFX-Mesh tool. Via the ANSYS APDL language, the mesh is exported for hydrodynamic assessment to ANSYS AQWA software or for fluid dynamic assessments to ANSYS CFX software. The ANSYS AQWA results can be directly used as input into ANSYS CFX software, and the results are used as loads in an ANSYS Workbench simulation without having to manually transfer the load data. This process allows specialists in their respective engineering disciplines to streamline the simulation process, exchange data, and communicate design changes through the same 3-D model.

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.
