挑战
The global automotive manufacturer was already using multiple HPC cloud services providers to power its digital engineering. However, the company wanted to further streamline its operations by moving its engineering workstations to the cloud. The challenge was to do this without incurring unnecessary costs for idle workstations. Traditional physical workstations were limited in their compute capacity and required significant time to boot up and configure. The company wanted to avoid the costs of cloud compute services when they weren't using the workstations, which was a significant portion of the total time to complete an experiment.
关于客户
The customer is a global manufacturer in the automotive industry. The company relies heavily on digital engineering to drive its product development efforts. Speed is critical for the company's R&D teams as the faster they can innovate using digital models and sophisticated simulation software, the quicker they can offer new designs to their customers and win contracts to grow their revenues. The company has been a Rescale customer for several years and works with multiple HPC cloud services providers to access the high performance computing (HPC) needed to power its digital engineering. This multi-cloud approach has brought the organization many benefits, including accelerating its product development times dramatically while significantly improving its software licensing management to avoid unnecessary costs.
解决方案
Rescale provided the manufacturer with an easy way to gain the benefits of cloud workstations while minimizing any cloud costs for idle workstations. Rescale offers Elastic Cloud Workstations as a core feature of its platform. This makes it quick and simple for R&D organizations to set up workstations in the cloud for any of their HPC computing needs. Critically, Rescale Elastic Cloud Workstations now offer a new capability that makes it easy for the manufacturer’s R&D teams to “stop” a workstation without losing its current state and configurations. Known as workstation suspension, this unique Rescale feature gives the manufacturer’s R&D teams the ability to turn workstations on and off without disrupting engineering workflows. A user simply has to click a button and an image of the workstation's state is written to a disc. To start up the workstation again only takes about two minutes.

Case Study
Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).
Case Study
Monitoring of Pressure Pumps in Automotive Industry
A large German/American producer of auto parts uses high-pressure pumps to deburr machined parts as a part of its production and quality check process. They decided to monitor these pumps to make sure they work properly and that they can see any indications leading to a potential failure before it affects their process.
