挑战
Arburg, a leading manufacturer of injection molding machines, faced the challenge of bringing its products to market faster, while increasing quality and lowering costs. The company's product range and the modular design of its machines placed high demands on IT services. Under the motto “securing the future with process optimization using standard IT solutions”, Arburg's CIO and his IT team worked closely with the operations departments to radically rethink the company’s IT infrastructure. The goal was to build a process-oriented IT infrastructure with virtual product management to improve time to market and increase development-to-delivery speed two-fold.
关于客户
Arburg is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of injection molding machines. The machine and plant manufacturer, located in Lossburg, in the Black Forest region, employs over 2000 people. Arburg’s product portfolio includes Allrounder injection molding machines with clamping force from 125 to 5,000 kilonewtons (kN), Multilift robotic systems, complex automation solutions and a range of peripherals. Arburg chose Dassault Systèmes solutions 15 years ago and today relies on CATIA, ENOVIA, and 3DVIA Composer for its product development needs.
解决方案
Arburg deployed a unified PLM strategy based on CATIA, ENOVIA and 3DVIA Composer for virtual product design, collaboration and technical documentation creation. From the very first development step, Arburg engineers use CATIA to construct their machines virtually. The system stores every revision precisely. The interfaces between CAD/CAM information and the procurement and ordering system ensure a 3D view of every Arburg-developed component. In addition, designers and design engineers can simulate all production steps, from design to final machine, and display a 360-degree view of their models. ENOVIA compiles the information so that anyone in the company involved in a particular project can use the same resource and process data and communicate in 3D. For technical documentation, Arburg uses 3DVIA Composer to generate the technical documentation directly from the CATIA files.

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.
