挑战
Guerrilla Gravity 是一家位于科罗拉多州丹佛市的山地自行车制造公司,在没有路线图的情况下开拓新材料应用和技术时面临着重大挑战。该公司面临着不断增长的需求,需要应对进度和生产挑战。他们创新的 Revved 碳技术的推出,结合了新的自行车车架材料和正在申请专利的新制造方法,带来了一系列额外的挑战。随着需求的增加,公司不得不扩大生产规模,需求量逐年翻倍。新技术的引入还带来了出现未知问题的风险,使发射时间表面临危险。
关于客户
Guerrilla Gravity 是一家位于科罗拉多州丹佛市的山地自行车制造公司。该公司致力于通过建立一个倡导越野骑行的社区并以民主化的价格创造创新的山地自行车来显着改善山地自行车运动。他们最新的创新是 Revved 碳技术,该技术代表了耐用自行车、轻质和高性能的引人注目的组合。该技术结合了新的自行车车架材料和正在申请专利的新制造方法,使自行车的抗冲击性比市场上使用传统碳纤维材料的其他车架高出 300%,同时保持相同的重量和刚度特性。
解决方案
Guerrilla Gravity 在早期设计阶段转向 Altair 的 OptiStruct,以实现更加简洁、高性能的解决方案。 OptiStruct 使 Guerrilla Gravity 能够比常见的迭代 FEA 流程更快地跳转到高性能解决方案。拓扑优化功能使设计人员能够运行多个载荷工况,并准确评估框架中需要层的位置。早期的这些知识使 Guerrilla Gravity 能够做出影响昂贵的制造结果的关键决策。此外,OptiStruct 使团队在进行物理测试时获得了极大的信心;我们知道这些框架很有可能一次就能通过美国材料与试验协会 (ASTM) 标准。

Digital Transformation of Atlanta Grout & Tile: An IoT Case Study
Atlanta Grout & Tile, a Tile, Stone & Grout restoration company based in Woodstock, Georgia, was facing challenges with its traditional business model. Despite steady growth over the years, the company was falling behind the web revolution and missing out on the opportunity to tap into a new consumer base. They were using independent software from different vendors for each of their department information and workforce management. This resulted in a lot of manual work on excel and the need to export/import data between different systems. This not only increased overhead costs but also slowed down their response to clients. The company also had to prepare numerous reports manually and lacked access to customer trends for effective business decision-making.

Revolutionizing Construction Equipment Rental: A Case Study on ProsRent and ENO8
ProsRent, a startup that won the 'Best Financial Opportunity' and 'Best Pitch' at CodeLaunch 2016, aimed to revolutionize the way construction professionals source and rent heavy equipment. In the construction industry, project managers and contractors typically rent heavy equipment from supply companies. However, predicting inventory can be challenging, and finding the required equipment at the right time and place can be a hassle. If the preferred vendor doesn't have the required equipment, it results in wasted time and money in searching for it, often leading to higher costs due to non-preferred rates and increased delivery costs if the vendor is located far from the job site. Suppliers, on the other hand, desired access to a wider base of trusted renters that they didn't have to vet themselves and wanted to offer dynamic rental pricing based on demand and availability in their market. ProsRent's challenge was to produce a minimum viable product that was fast and first to market but also strong enough to engender loyalty and repeat business from the target market.
