Case Study: Hitachi Mito Engineering achieves real-time thermal design review with Hexagon's Cradle CFD

Hitachi Mito Engineering Co. Ltd - Customer Case Study

Hitachi Mito Engineering Co. Ltd., a provider of engineering support for elevators and industrial products, faced inefficiencies in its thermal design process. Their challenge was to minimize tasks and improve process efficiency during the early phases of product development, particularly in resolving thermal problems for PCB design. They sought a solution from vendor Hexagon, adopting their thermal analysis software to address these issues.

Hexagon provided a multi-faceted solution centered on their Cradle CFD software, including HeatDesigner and the co-developed tool PICLS. This allowed design engineers to evaluate thermal concepts and check temperature distributions in real-time, dramatically accelerating development speed. The result was a front-loading of CAE processes, which minimized analysis tasks, shortened evaluation time, and led to faster development in the design phase for Hitachi Mito Engineering.
