挑战
VIKING GmbH 是 ANDREAS STIHL AG & Co. KG 的子公司，是一家包括割草机在内的园艺设备制造商。该公司致力于不断提高割草机的性能，特别是在割草性能和噪音排放水平方面。然而，该公司在了解割草机甲板内的空气动力学方面面临挑战。割草机的弯曲双刃刀片会产生高度不稳定的气流，导致涡流周期性地撞击滑槽壁，影响噪音排放水平和捕捉性能。叶片的快速旋转、不稳定的压力以及甲板内气流速度的高波动产生了复杂的气流，使得传统的开发和测量方法几乎不可能实现。该公司需要找到一种方法来提高捕捉性能，同时满足室外噪音排放法规。
关于客户
VIKING GmbH 是总部位于奥地利的 ANDREAS STIHL AG & Co. KG 的 100% 子公司。该公司是一家创新型、服务型的园艺设备制造商，产品包括割草机、草坪松土机、草坪拖拉机、花园碎纸机和耕耘机。在其割草机部门，该公司致力于通过不断提高割草性能并满足其产品的室外噪音排放法规来提供最舒适、最高效的工具。 VIKING GmbH 致力于创新和服务，不断寻求改进产品和满足客户需求的方法。
解决方案
为了克服这一挑战，VIKING 工程师决定使用 ANSYS CFX 流体流动仿真软件来模拟割草机甲板中的气流。目的是看看是否可以在设计过程中实施数值模拟。这需要通过实验测量来确认结果的准确性，并验证从计算流体动力学 (CFD) 提供的见解中可以获得的好处。工程师在 ANSYS CFX-Pre 中设置了墙、反向旋转墙和开口边界条件。然后，他们使用 ANSYS CFX 软件对瞬态转子定子模型进行 URANS 仿真，并在 ANSYS CFD-Post 中进行后处理。这种方法使他们能够将计算出的气流特征参数与割草机滑槽中的测量值进行比较。

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.
