Hydraulics: The Heart and Soul of Your Machine

Thu, 26 Sep 2019 10:50:01 -0700

Today’s hydraulic systems not only have higher-quality components, but they also expand a machine’s versatility. Unfortunately, they’re also highly sensitive to contamination, making routine cleaning and maintenance more critical than ever.

The hydraulic system is the hardest-working part of the machine, delivering lifting capacity and breakout force as well as powering attachments. These are the most expensive and vital components of a machine, so it’s important to have a plan to protect them. This white paper discusses key strategies and proactive steps that owners and operators can take to maximize the performance of their hydraulic equipment. It also includes a recommended maintenance schedule with daily and annual tasks.

Solving Critical Engineering Challenges for Electric Vehicles

Mon, 16 Sep 2019 11:05:01 -0700

Modern manufacturers are rewriting the rules of vehicle operation as they shift from manual, mechanical platforms to autonomous, electric ones.

A few of the innovations include:

High-performance propulsion systems driven by densely packed battery arrays.
Autonomous and safety systems powered by complex radar and vision systems.
Vehicle connectivity through machine-to-machine communication with powerful antennas and sensors.

These new systems present tremendous challenges for engineering.

Manufacturers are looking to resolve big problems with many variables, like boosting battery life and capacity, raising the power generated from electric motors, avoiding thermal runaway of battery fires after a crash, and testing complex radar and vision systems.

Simulation can help you gain an accurate view of which design variables affect performance. But enabling early, frequent, and pervasive analyses of physics to see which satisfies the requirements in these electrification scenarios is no simple task.

Most organizations use a disjointed and manual approach involving a cobbled-together combination of spreadsheets, documents, shared drives, computer-aided design (CAD) applications, and simulation tools.

You are left with a high probability of inaccuracies due to manual entry and propagation of revisions, unclear requirements, and no connectivity between tools. You also have no controlled process to share near real-time information with engineers in other disciplines, such as in electrical and electronics.

In the end, you end up with multiple rounds of revisions, project delays, and costly errors. You can lose hours, if not days or even weeks, of your time and productivity while missing the product release deadline.

Digital Design Simulation is a powerful tool to help you uncover solutions to all of these challenges. With this process you can make a significant difference in creating optimized designs. But instead of just telling you, let's walk you through the process.

Contract-centric Sourcing: A New Paradigm

Tue, 03 Sep 2019 08:50:01 -0700

Today’s sourcing organizations are being asked to move faster than ever to source the materials needed by their companies. It’s a difficult position to be in. Under the current sourcing paradigm, the multi-step process of securing the vendor is time-consuming, and even then, can expose a company to risk and leakage. But there’s another way: Contract-centric sourcing. This new paradigm can save millions in leakage and accelerate the buying process, while also improving relationships with vendors and optimizing supply chain performance.

Contract-centric sourcing introduces contracts at the very beginning of the sourcing process and makes contract compliance a third pillar by which vendors are evaluated, next to technical and commercial capabilities.

Comparing the Top PLM Systems: Siemens Teamcenter, Dassault Enovia, PTC Windchill

Tue, 04 Jun 2019 14:05:01 -0700

A product’s life cycle begins with an idea, but it doesn’t end when the product reaches the market, or even when it’s replaced by a new generation or the next big thing. In many cases, companies must provide service and support for years after a product becomes obsolete, and upfront planning is critical.

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) provides a central repository for all product information. It includes rough drafts and sketches from the design stage, written processes and manufacturing instructions from selling stage, and the end of life strategy and disposal plans. In addition, it ensures that a product’s design stays on schedule and meets any regulatory requirements necessary.

PLM is one of the most critical applications for a company, but it can be hard to navigate the competitive market. This whitepaper provides a comparison framework for understanding the market and choosing the right solution to meet your company’s unique needs.
