Case Study: JLG Industries reduces testing time by up to 90% with Cadence Adams Real Time

JLG Industries reduces testing time by up to 90% with Cadence

JLG Industries, a leading designer and manufacturer of access equipment, faced challenges with the high cost and time required for physical prototype testing, which limited innovation. To address this, the customer sought to replicate physical testing in the virtual realm using rapid simulation tools from the vendor, Cadence Design Systems. They leveraged the Cadence Adams Multibody Dynamics Simulator and Adams Real Time to improve their design processes.

Cadence's solution involved integrating Adams models into a hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) testing process. This allowed JLG to validate control systems with virtual equipment models before building physical prototypes. The use of Cadence Adams Real Time resulted in a reduction of testing time by up to 90%, enabling overnight automated tests and providing greater design confidence by accurately replicating real-world physics.
