挑战
C-TEC 是一家总部位于德国的公司,专门从事智能设备、机器和系统的开发和生产,在满足 2017 年生效的欧盟乘用车燃油效率和排放新标准方面面临着重大挑战。全球统一轻型车辆测试程序 (WLTP) 要求更严格的合规性,促使 C-TEC 改进和优化箱式多功能车的空气动力学性能,同时保留大部分相同的组件。这种优化需要 GPU 加速的高性能计算 (HPC)。然而,C-TEC 缺乏 CFD 仿真经验,并且无法获得运行昂贵的计算密集型多 GPU 工作负载所需的硬件。
关于客户
C-TEC 是一家年轻的创新型公司,总部位于德国布劳斯坦。公司专业从事智能设备、机器和系统的开发和生产。 C-TEC 的特殊机器和解决方案使其客户能够优化其生产流程,并完善、加速和自动化处理和吞吐量。该公司帮助制造商改进工作流程和产品质量。 C-TEC 从单一来源处理从工程和生产到组装和调试的全部职能,确保系统功能和可靠性满足公司的目标。
解决方案
为了克服这些挑战,C-TEC 与 Altair 和 Oracle 合作,在 Oracle 云基础设施 (OCI) 上实施交钥匙 Altair® Unlimited™ 虚拟设备。这款完全托管的 Altair 云设备基于 OCI 卓越的裸机基础设施,无需复杂的 HPC 管理,并提供灵活性、轻松扩展和顶级性能。它可以无限制地使用各种 Altair 求解器软件、HPC 资源管理工具和用户友好的门户网站。借助 Altair Unlimited,C-TEC 避免了本地 HPC 架构的高成本。该团队使用 OCI 上的 Altair Unlimited 虚拟设备在 NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPU 上运行 Altair® ultraFluidX®,创建了一种新设计,可减少空气动力阻力,同时保持轻质结构和高有效负载能力等功能特性。

IoT System for Tunnel Construction
The Zenitaka Corporation ('Zenitaka') has two major business areas: its architectural business focuses on structures such as government buildings, office buildings, and commercial facilities, while its civil engineering business is targeted at structures such as tunnels, bridges and dams. Within these areas, there presented two issues that have always persisted in regard to the construction of mountain tunnels. These issues are 'improving safety" and "reducing energy consumption". Mountain tunnels construction requires a massive amount of electricity. This is because there are many kinds of electrical equipment being used day and night, including construction machinery, construction lighting, and ventilating fan. Despite this, the amount of power consumption is generally not tightly managed. In many cases, the exact amount of power consumption is only ascertained when the bill from the power company becomes available. Sometimes, corporations install demand-monitoring equipment to help curb the maximum power demanded. However, even in these cases, the devices only allow the total volume of power consumption to be ascertained, or they may issue warnings to prevent the contracted volume of power from being exceeded. In order to tackle the issue of reducing power consumption, it was first necessary to obtain an accurate breakdown of how much power was being used in each particular area. In other words, we needed to be able to visualize the amount of power being consumed. Safety, was also not being managed very rigorously. Even now, tunnel construction sites often use a 'name label' system for managing entry into the work site. Specifically, red labels with white reverse sides that bear the workers' names on both sides are displayed at the tunnel work site entrance. The workers themselves then flip the name label to the appropriate side when entering or exiting from the work site to indicate whether or not they are working inside the tunnel at any given time. If a worker forgets to flip his or her name label when entering or exiting from the tunnel, management cannot be performed effectively. In order to tackle the challenges mentioned above, Zenitaka decided to build a system that could improve the safety of tunnel construction as well as reduce the amount of power consumed. In other words, this new system would facilitate a clear picture of which workers were working in each location at the mountain tunnel construction site, as well as which processes were being carried out at those respective locations at any given time. The system would maintain the safety of all workers while also carefully controlling the electrical equipment to reduce unnecessary power consumption. Having decided on the concept, our next concern was whether there existed any kind of robust hardware that would not break down at the construction work site, that could move freely in response to changes in the working environment, and that could accurately detect workers and vehicles using radio frequency identification (RFID). Given that this system would involve many components that were new to Zenitaka, we decided to enlist the cooperation of E.I.Sol Co., Ltd. ('E.I.Sol') as our joint development partner, as they had provided us with a highly practical proposal.
