挑战
Automotive Components Floby AB (AC Floby) 是一家瑞典公司，在汽车行业制造产品方面拥有 60 多年的经验，它面临着重大挑战。该公司在制造汽车制动部件时浪费了关键的生产时间。这种低效率影响了他们的整体生产力和盈利能力。该公司正在寻找一种可以稳定和优化其生产流程的解决方案。最初，他们聘请 NovaCast 进行模拟咨询。然而，随着对专业模拟的需求增加，他们意识到需要更持久、更高效的解决方案。
关于客户
Automotive Components Floby AB (AC Floby) 是一家瑞典公司，已有 60 多年的经营历史。该公司总部位于弗洛比镇，该镇的居民仅有 1500 多人。 AC Floby 专门为汽车行业制造产品，包括制动盘、轮毂和连杆。该公司为欧洲及其他地区的制造商提供服务，遵守质量、精度和环境影响的最高行业标准。 AC Floby 拥有 510 名员工，收入为 2,057 MSEK。
解决方案
为了应对这一挑战，AC Floby 决定投资 NovaCast 的工艺模拟工具 NovaFlow&Solid 供内部使用。该工具模拟模具填充和凝固，这是制动部件生产中的关键步骤。该工具旨在节省生产中的关键时间，并使流程更具成本效益。该工具节省时间的方面在于它能够在模拟和填充过程中分几个步骤切换网格。根据所处理组件的部分，该工具可以对厚壁部分使用更大的网格分辨率，对敏感区域使用更细的网格。除了NovaFlow&Solid之外，AC Floby还选择了NovaCast的技术合作伙伴协议（TPA）。该协议不仅保证支持，还提供软件更新、网络研讨会邀请和折扣用户会议。

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.
