PLASTIC OMNIUM – ENHANCING COLLISION SIMULATION SOFTWARE

Plastic Omnium is a supplier of automotive exterior components that uses simulated collisions for validation when developing components. The company uses a pendulum equipped with sensors to reconstruct the collisions, and a program controls the required test stand. The collision simulation software needed to be upgraded to an updated technical level.

Challenges

The interaction between the measuring technology and the computer's control system had to be optimized to achieve an improved simulation of collisions. The software used for the collision simulation had to be upgraded to meet the updated technical level. The system had to deliver the required results according to standards.

Solution

Plastic Omnium got in touch with DIS/CREADIS who first carried out an analysis of the system to identify the improvement and implementation potential. In connection with the analysis, it was found that there was not much improvement potential in the mechanical part of the system, but the software had very promising improvement opportunities.

DIS/CREADIS carried out the optimization by implementing the updated software and adapting it optimally to the environment. Additionally, DIS/CREADIS installed a computer that is compatible with the newly installed software, resulting in an update of the system's technical level. This ensured that the system will be able to deliver the required results according to standards in the future.

Why DIS/CREADIS

“Through their competent and committed working method, DIS/CREADIS was able to quickly master the task, resulting in a user-friendly software solution”, says Sabine Wagner, Manager Central Lab at Plastic Omnium. DIS/CREADIS specializes in providing engineering solutions and services that mesh perfectly with their customers’ needs on projects. These core engineering competencies include mechanical engineering, industrial design, and software development. Their expertise in software development was crucial in upgrading the collision simulation software used by Plastic Omnium.

SKY-LIGHT – NEW FLEXIBLE ROBOTIC PACKAGING PRODUCTION MACHINE DELIVERES INCREASED SAFETY FOR NEW PLANT

SKY-LIGHT, a film and packaging manufacturer, has invested in a new production plant that required an efficient and safe packaging system. The previous manual processes were not optimal in terms of the working environment and safety, and the new plant had to be able to handle rolls weighing between 200 kg and 1800 kg (441 lb. to 3968 lb.). This meant that the packaging system needed to be very flexible and capable of adjusting to nine different packing methods. SKY-LIGHT did not have the internal resources to develop this system, and so they contacted DIS/CREADIS to take over the development, construction, design, setup, assembly, and commissioning of the plant.
