挑战
AB Lundbergs Pressgjuteri 是一家位于瑞典 Vrigstad 的压铸公司,其运营面临着重大挑战。该公司的任务是同时铸造六个相同的细节,每轮铸造大约需要一分钟。然而,由于细节很薄,必须施加适量的热量,以防止任何细节过早冻结或硬化。这种精度对于满足客户(包括他们为其制作小册子支架的一家国际零售公司)所需的标准测量至关重要。由于需要以清晰易懂的方式向客户解释流程、问题和潜在的解决方案,这一挑战进一步加剧。
关于客户
AB Lundbergs Pressgjuteri 是一家位于瑞典弗里格斯塔的高压压铸公司。该公司专业从事铝合金加工,年产铝量600吨。 Lundbergs Pressgjuteri 拥有一支由 35 名员工组成的团队,年收入达 400 万欧元。该公司以其压铸精度而闻名,其声誉建立在技术的创新运用和对质量的承诺之上。 Lundbergs Pressgjuteri 为各种客户提供服务,包括国际零售公司。
解决方案
为了克服这些挑战,Lundbergs Pressgjuteri 大约六年前投资了 NovaCast 的模拟程序 NovaFlow&Solid。该程序允许该公司在计算机上模拟铸件,使他们能够在潜在缺陷发生之前识别它们。这不仅节省时间和金钱,还减少对环境的影响。工具经理 Mattias Melin 每天使用 NovaFlow&Solid 来解决问题、创建新工具或修复旧工具。就小册子支架而言,模拟程序表明,如果该工具按照最初计划构建,则结果将达不到要求的标准。通过向客户展示这一点,他们能够进行讨论并做出必要的更改,从而得出令各方满意的解决方案。

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.
