挑战
制造业正面临着巨大的技能缺口，预计到 2030 年将有 210 万个职位空缺，仅美国就损失数万亿美元。为了解决这个问题，制造公司正在采用智能制造工具和工作指导软件。然而，挑战不仅限于行业，还包括教育机构，教育机构需要为下一代工人适应现代制造环境做好准备。克利夫兰州立大学 (CSU) 就是这样的机构之一，旨在对工程学生进行智能制造工具及其应用的培训。挑战在于让学生全面了解产品设计和制造系统设计，并为他们在未来的公司缩小技能差距做好准备。
关于客户
克利夫兰州立大学（CSU）是一所位于俄亥俄州克利夫兰的公立研究机构。它提供广泛的学术课程和学位，包括工程学。科罗拉多州立大学致力于提供高质量的教育，帮助学生为满足现代劳动力的需求做好准备。在本案例研究的背景下，科罗拉多州立大学特别注重培训机械工程专业的学生使用智能制造工具及其应用。该大学正在使用 VKS 数字工作指导让学生了解当前制造和工程环境的现实，并帮助他们为缩小未来公司的技能差距做好准备。
解决方案
科罗拉多州立大学在工程学助理教授 Saeed Farahani 博士的指导下，正在使用 VKS 数字工作指令让学生了解当前制造和工程环境的现实。学生需要为自己选择的产品准备一本 VKS 指南，帮助他们了解产品设计和组装。他们还学习如何使用 VKS 工作指导软件来增强制造运营。该软件可以帮助公司快速培训缺乏经验的员工，使每个员工都能执行多项任务和职责。除了课堂之外，科罗拉多州立大学还计划在其研究设施中使用 VKS 来改进实验和测试的执行方式，并在学生流动率很高的情况下保持标准化操作程序。

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.
