挑战
Steven Aguirre 是一家小型工程公司 Billet Designs 的所有者，他面临着平衡业务各个方面的挑战，包括产品设计、营销、订单履行、销售、制造和一般产品线开发。他的主要任务是为饮料种植者设计二氧化碳分配器，目的是在通常较短的产品开发周期内有效利用有限的资源，同时创造最佳产品。几年前，阿吉雷将他的业务模式转向外包组装、订单履行和库存管理，使他能够专注于产品设计。他拥有使用流行的 2-D 和 3-D CAD 工具的经验，但他需要一种更有效的方法来创建 3-D 模型并快速进行更改。他尝试过的工具要么太麻烦，要么不够充分，使得速度和效率成为重大挑战。
关于客户
Billet Designs 是一家小型工程公司，为客户提供多种服务。这些服务包括汽车和消费产品的产品设计、编程、自动化、PLC 控制和机器人技术。该公司的主要业务是消费产品机电组件的设计。该公司由 Steven Aguirre 所有，他负责平衡业务的各个方面，包括产品设计、营销、订单履行、销售、制造和一般产品线开发。
解决方案
Aguirre 决定尝试 ANSYS SpaceClaim，一种 3D 建模软件。他立即对其简单的用户界面、极简主义的菜单、按钮和选项印象深刻，这对于像他这样非专业 CAD 工程师的工程师来说是完美的选择。他很快学会了如何创建模型以及添加维度的最佳实践。 SpaceClaim 为他提供了灵活性，让他可以从一个想法开始，然后以他想要的任何方式改变他的设计，而不会受到任何惩罚。 Aguirre 发现 SpaceClaim 修复工具对于清理导入的几何图形或修改设计错误非常有用。在一个例子中，一家数控车间表示他们可以将某些东西加工成铸件，但不能按照目前的设计进行加工。使用 SpaceClaim，Aguirre 能够通过填充一些圆形、将拔模角度更改为零以及拉动一些曲面来更改设计。 15 分钟内，零件就得到了加工优化。

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.
