When it comes to heavy machinery, heavier is not necessarily better. Sometimes, shaving off a little over-engineering weight yields incredible gains.
Just ask Advanced Actuators.
Catering to clients from a range of industries, including oil and gas, bulk materials, and power generation, they distinguish themselves by delivering solutions that are precise, efficient, and cost-effective.
Using Simcenter Amesim, they were able to optimize the performance and efficiency of their hydraulic actuator designs. With system simulation and virtual prototyping, it becomes possible to evaluate whole-system performance. For Advanced Actuators, this translated into understanding their true component failure points and sizing needs.
By not over-engineering the system, they are able to save costs, and with fewer oversized components, they are able to both go to market faster and reduce energy consumption.
For Advanced Actuators, a simulation-driven approach has been the key to:
- Thriving under time-to-market pressure
- Addressing environmental concerns
- Embracing digital transformation
- Delivering right-sized solutions
- Achieving shorter design cycles
- Performing fewer physical prototypes
- Gaining new business
It’s an impressive list of benefits for just one piece of the tech stack.
