挑战
Triton Bikes 是一家位于俄罗斯莫斯科的定制钛自行车和独轮车车架生产商,面临着提高性能、减轻重量和简化定制自行车后叉的制造的挑战。后叉是自行车钛合金车架的一部分,连接后下叉和中轴,最初是采用复杂、耗时且浪费的工艺制造的。该零件由钛块数控铣削而成,分为两部分,其中一些材料从内部铣削出来以减轻重量。然后将两半焊接在一起。 Triton Bikes 希望重新设计该部件,使其能够承受 130 公斤的负载,减轻其重量,增加其强度,简化生产技术并降低成本。
关于客户
Triton Bikes 是一家定制钛合金自行车和独轮车车架生产商,总部位于俄罗斯莫斯科。该公司以其自行车设计和制造的创新方法而闻名,不断寻求提高性能、减轻重量和简化生产流程的方法。 Triton Bikes 与 CML AT 接洽,提出一个为其最新自行车型号重新设计后叉的潜在项目。该公司希望找到一种解决方案,不仅能够增强零件的强度和性能,还能简化生产并降低成本。 Triton Bikes 目前正致力于将新设计集成到他们的定制自行车车架中,并可能在未来探索重新设计车架的其他部分。
解决方案
CML AT 是一家专门从事增材技术实施的公司,与工程中心和设计、优化和仿真工具专家 CompMechLab 合作,重新设计了后轭。 CompMechLab 的团队使用solidThinking Inspire 应用所有载荷、形状和边界条件,并对零件进行多轮优化。重新设计过程花了不到几周的时间。最终设计确定后,他们进行了有限元分析,以确保其满足所有所需的负载。随后,CML AT 使用 Arcam 的电子束熔化技术组织了原型的 3D 打印和后处理。这样就可以在很短的时间内生产出 Ti6Al4V 零件。 CML AT 现在负责所有未来的生产合作以及 Triton Bikes 的技术支持。

Smart Water Filtration Systems
Before working with Ayla Networks, Ozner was already using cloud connectivity to identify and solve water-filtration system malfunctions as well as to monitor filter cartridges for replacements.But, in June 2015, Ozner executives talked with Ayla about how the company might further improve its water systems with IoT technology. They liked what they heard from Ayla, but the executives needed to be sure that Ayla’s Agile IoT Platform provided the security and reliability Ozner required.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

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.
