挑战
Specialized Bicycle Components, a leading manufacturer of performance bicycles, was facing constraints in their internal computing resources which were slowing down their product design cycles. The company's R&D teams were experiencing slow solve speeds which were limiting their ability to innovate and create new product designs. The company operates a proprietary wind tunnel for performance testing, but they also employ computer-aided engineering. However, their existing simulation workstations were becoming insufficient for the growing high performance computing needs of their Road Bike R&D team.
关于客户
Specialized Bicycle Components is a company headquartered in Morgan Hill, California. Founded in 1974, the company is engaged in the engineering and manufacturing of performance bicycles. Specialized is a leader in the hyper-competitive cycling industry and sponsors the top #1 and #2 professional cycling teams in the world. The company's mission is to be the best cycling brand in the world. To achieve this, their R&D teams face pressure to come up with better bicycle shapes and components each year with improved quality and performance.
解决方案
To overcome their internal computing constraints, Specialized adopted Rescale, a high performance computing platform. Rescale provided Specialized with instant access to compute scale and over 600 HPC applications to simulate their bike frames’ drag, weight, and stiffness and overall performance. This enabled their engineers to generate and simulate more iterations of product designs and configurations in less time. The company also used Simcenter STAR-CCM+, a complete CFD multiphysics solution for the simulation of products and designs available on Rescale, to gain a competitive edge in R&D prototyping. Additionally, Specialized leveraged Amazon Web Services (AWS) for its elastic and scalable cloud infrastructure.

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.

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.
