挑战
大型拖拉机需要由五个独立模块组成的复杂冷却系统。每个冷却模块专用于发动机的五种不同流体系统之一，包括自己的热交换器，并由主发动机风扇额外冷却。拖拉机的主要目标是支撑自身以及其所带的任何附件（如割草机或犁）的额外负载。这需要设计工作专注于最大限度地提高发动机功率输出和冷却组件的效率，同时优化发动机舱内所有组件的位置，以便为发动机和冷却系统模块提供足够的空气。对于 CNH 来说，此设计过程通常仅包括对各个组件（例如每个冷却模块）的深入分析。没有简单的方法可以将发动机舱内组件布局的影响以及整个系统中每个模块的气流分配纳入其中。CNH 使用的替代方案是开发和测试多个原型，以平衡冷却和空间需求，尽管这既昂贵又耗时。
关于客户
CNH Case New Holland 是农业和建筑设备行业的全球领导者。 CNH 的工厂遍布各大洲，业务遍及全球，并在 160 个国家/地区拥有由 10,800 家经销商组成的庞大网络。该公司自 1800 年代中期以来一直为农业提供支持，提供一系列产品和解决方案，以满足客户的多样化需求。该公司对创新和技术的承诺体现在其拖拉机设计方法中，利用先进的流动建模软件来优化其产品的设计和性能。
解决方案
CNH 使用流动建模软件 ANSYS Fluent 和 ANSYS TGrid 来模拟发动机舱组件内部和周围的空气流动，从而可以立即检查整个系统，而不是以前的逐个方法。该分析使 CNH 能够分析整个冷却系统及其容量，最大限度地减少冷却系统使用的功率，并优化冷却模块的位置。通过使用流动建模工具，CNH 能够消除多个成本高昂的原型的制造和测试，定义由 ANSYS Fluent 软件预测的最佳原型，实验测量值与计算机模拟值之间具有非常好的一致性，减少由该冷却系统与最初的设计相比，满足所有冷却模块的散热和封装要求。

IoT Data Analytics Case Study - Packaging Films Manufacturer
The company manufactures packaging films on made to order or configure to order basis. Every order has a different set of requirements from the product characteristics perspective and hence requires machine’s settings to be adjusted accordingly. If the film quality does not meet the required standards, the degraded quality impacts customer delivery causes customer dissatisfaction and results in lower margins. The biggest challenge was to identify the real root cause and devise a remedy for that.

Hydro One Leads the Way In Smart Meter Development
In 2010, Ontario’s energy board mandated that time-of-use (TOU) pricing for consumers be available for all consumers on a regulated price plan. To meet this requirement, Hydro One needed to quickly deploy a smart meter and intelligent communications network solution to meet the provincial government’s requirement at a low cost. The network needed to cover Hydro One’s expansive service territory, which has a land mass twice the size of Texas, and its customers live in a mix of urban, rural, and remote areas, some places only accessible by air, rail, boat or snowmobile. Most importantly, the network needed to enable future enterprise-wide business efficiencies, modernization of distribution infrastructure and enhanced customer service. To meet these needs, Hydro One conceptualized an end-to-end solution leveraging open standards and Internet Protocols (IP) at all communication levels. The utility drew upon industry leaders like Trilliant to realize this vision.

Selling more with Whirlpool
Whirlpool wanted to add connectivity to appliances and transform the company's relationship with customers. Traditionally, Whirlpool interaction with customers was limited to purchases made once every ten years. Connected washer and dryers provide exciting new features like remote management of start times and inter-machine communication.

Zenon the Ideal Basis for An Ergonomic HMI
KHS develops and produces machines and equipment for filling and packaging in the drinks industry. Because drinks manufacturing, filling and packaging consist of a number of highly complex processes, the user-friendly and intuitive operation of equipment is increasingly gaining in significance. In order to design these processes as simple as possible for the user, KHS decided to introduce a uniform, transparent and standardized solution to the company. The HMI interface should meet the requirement for people with different qualifications and enable them to work on a standard platform.

SAS® Analytics for IoT: Smart Grid
Companies face falling revenues, rising infrastructure costs, and increasing risk of outages caused by inconsistent energy production from renewable sources. Less money is coming in as more people and organizations take steps to curb their energy use. Utilities are paying more to maintain and build infrastructure due to increasing complexity, resulting from the rising number of intermittent and variable renewable energy sources connected in the distribution grid.

Enel Secures Italian Power Generation Network
Electric energy operators around the world are working to increase the reliability and cyber resiliency of their systems. This includes Enel, a global power company that manages and monitors the Italian power grid. This grid:• Serves 31 million customers• Has a net installed energy capacity exceeding 31 gigawatts• Includes more than 500 power generation plants,including hydroelectric, thermoelectric, and wind• Is managed and monitored by Enel 24/7/365• Is operated by Terna, the Italian Transmission System Operator (TSO)Enel is responsible for the availability of the grid’s underlying ICS and industrial network. It also manages Regional Control Centers and Interconnection Centers which connect with the TSO. The TSO manages the flow of energy to the grid plus controls and remotely regulates the power generation of power plants, increasing and decreasing power production as required. The complex system of interaction and cooperation between Enel and the TSO has strong security implications as well as operational and business challenges.
