Case Study: Hirata Corporation improves airflow analysis and product presentations with Hexagon scSTREAM

Using scSTREAM to evaluate airflow in production facilities improves the understanding and enables effective presentations

Hirata Corporation, a major Japanese manufacturer of production equipment for semiconductors and other industries, faced the challenge of visualizing and understanding invisible airflow within their manufacturing tools to ensure a clean environment. To improve product quality and reduce costs, they sought a powerful thermal-fluid analysis tool, leading them to partner with vendor Hexagon and adopt their scSTREAM software.

By implementing Hexagon's scSTREAM, Hirata's engineers successfully simulated nitrogen dispersion and airflow in complex equipment like EFEMs and FOUPs, which was crucial for both product development and client presentations. The solution provided by Hexagon enabled significant cost reductions, shorter development times, and was instrumental in securing sales by effectively demonstrating equipment performance to customers.
