挑战
JTEKT Thermo Systems, a leading manufacturer of industrial heating systems, is facing the challenge of making its products more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. This is in response to the growing demand for greener industrial processes and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, the company needs to continue reducing its engineering and manufacturing costs while improving the effectiveness of its heating systems. The complexity of modern digital simulation and analysis models that guide research is increasing, requiring highly parallel calculations on the fastest computing architectures possible. JTEKT conducts analysis in four areas: thermo-fluid analysis, structural analysis, heat treatment analysis, and induction heating analysis, all of which require supercomputing capabilities.
关于客户
JTEKT Thermo Systems is a world-leading manufacturer of industrial heating systems, with its headquarters in Nara, Japan. The company was founded in 1967 and has since been a pioneer in its industry, with innovation being a key component of its success. JTEKT Thermo Systems manufactures heating systems, ovens, and furnaces for various markets, including automotive, semiconductor, energy, and communications. The company is currently facing the challenge of making its industrial heating systems cleaner and more energy-efficient to meet environmental needs and consumer demand for more sustainable manufacturing operations. To remain at the forefront of its industry, JTEKT must continually improve its products.

Case Study
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.
