挑战
由于人口老龄化和预期寿命的延长，全球助听器市场的竞争日益激烈。在这种环境下，医疗设备制造商需要将先进产品快速推向市场，并且不会在开发周期后期产生额外成本。然而，许多公司在开发过程的后期部署工程资源，以在产品推出之前解决设计和制造问题。这种方法通常会导致重要的工程资源被用于解决设计问题，而不是一次性设计出更好地满足客户需求和关键设计要求的产品。助听器制造商奥迪康意识到了工程仿真的价值，并利用它来设计和验证其设备的关键组件。然而，为了成为创新领域的全球领导者并在竞争中保持领先地位，奥迪康需要将仿真应用于产品中交互的所有组件，从而需要可扩展的系统级设计方法。
关于客户
奥迪康是 William Demant 公司的一个生产助听器的业务部门。该公司认识到工程仿真的价值，并用它来设计和验证其设备的关键组件。然而，为了成为真正的全球创新领导者并在竞争中保持领先地位，奥迪康意识到它不仅需要将仿真应用于助听器的关键部件，还需要应用于产品中相互作用的所有组件。这需要采用可扩展的系统级方法进行设计，并获得高级管理层的支持，以重新分配工程资源和定制的仿真工作流程。
解决方案
Oticon 利用 ANSYS® 应用程序定制工具包 (ACT)，这是一种使用通用语言来配置和定制仿真用户界面、仿真工作流程和求解器扩展的开发工具。这使得奥迪康能够在工程人员中扩展其产品开发流程，并以虚拟方式高效地设计整个助听器系统。实施涉及三个步骤：在设计过程的早期阶段获得对仿真系统化部署的执行支持，定制工作流程以提高几乎没有正式 CAE 培训或经验的设计工程师的 CAE 可访问性，以及验证计算机模型准确预测整个助听器系统的性能。奥迪康的 CAE 专家开发了先进的基于计算机的关键助听器组件模型，这些模型经过了广泛的验证，并成为在产品开发过程的最终原型设计/测试阶段之前验证设计的公认工具。

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.

Remote Temperature Monitoring of Perishable Goods Saves Money
RMONI was facing temperature monitoring challenges in a cold chain business. A cold chain must be established and maintained to ensure goods have been properly refrigerated during every step of the process, making temperature monitoring a critical business function. Manual registration practice can be very costly, labor intensive and prone to mistakes.

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.
