挑战
特瑞堡是一家在工程创新领域拥有百年历史的瑞典公司,专门生产模压橡胶部件,以提高车辆的舒适度和性能。密歇根特瑞堡工程中心的设计和有限元分析 (FEA) 团队虽然规模虽小,但生产力很高,但面临着重大挑战。他们试图在不增加人员或硬件的情况下提高吞吐量。该团队尝试临时利用 CAD 工作站的非工作时间 CPU 周期。然而,他们很难估计每个作业在特定机器上需要多长时间,以便可以设置另一个作业在其后面运行。该团队需要一种方法来增加可用 CPU 时间,以提高生产力和效率。
关于客户
特瑞堡是一家拥有 100 年工程创新历史的瑞典公司。他们专注于制造模压橡胶部件,以提高车辆的舒适度和性能。这些部件包括支架、衬套以及其他底盘和动力传动系部件,旨在吸收振动和冲击,为车主提供更愉悦的体验。特瑞堡与通用汽车、福特、克莱斯勒、本田和丰田等主要汽车制造商密切合作,生产定制聚合物部件。密歇根特瑞堡工程中心的设计和有限元分析 (FEA) 团队规模虽小,但生产力很高,通过使用 PBS Professional,极大地提高了吞吐量、成本效率和周转时间。
解决方案
特瑞堡求助于 Altair 的 PBS Professional 来管理和收集六个工作站上的 CPU 周期。该团队计算了使用 PBS Professional 管理每天下午 6:00 至早上 6:00 以及周末的 CPU 周期的成本效益。他们估计 PBS Professional 通过提高空闲 CPU 时间的效率,只需两个周末就能收回成本。安装 PBS Professional 后,团队的生产力立即得到提升。他们不再是每晚运行 6 个作业,而是很快平均运行 10 或 20 个作业。作业被简单地转储到队列中,PBS Professional 将它们分配给第一个可用的 CPU。即使工作站崩溃,PBS Professional 也会自动将下一个作业发送到第一个可用的 CPU,从而确保持续的生产力。

Case Study
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.
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).
