挑战
Culligan Matrix Solutions 是水处理领域的领导者，在开发新型软水器时面临着重大挑战。该公司的目标是创造一种比市场上任何其他产品使用更少的盐、最大限度地减少水压损失并使用尽可能少的材料的设备。这个雄心勃勃的项目需要流体动力学性能和结构完整性之间的微妙平衡。研发团队需要采用流体动力学和结构力学模拟来实现这些目标。挑战不仅在于满足这些严格的要求，而且还在于以具有成本效益和时间效率的方式做到这一点。
解决方案
Culligan 与广泛的工程解决方案提供商 QuEST Global 合作应对这一挑战。他们利用 ANSYS 软件工具，该工具可应用于流体动力学和结构力学模拟。 ANSYS 几何工具简化了几何结构，减少了获得仿真结果所需的时间。该团队使用 ANSYS CFX（一种两相流体动力学功能）来模拟盐水和水在阀门中的运动。这使得他们能够在对原水和盐水溶液的多组分混合物进行建模时捕获抽吸效应。然后将流体模拟的压力结果传输至 ANSYS Mechanical 软件，以预测阀门内的应力和变形。这种综合方法使团队能够平衡流体动力学性能和结构完整性之间的设计权衡。

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.
