Driving efficiency and innovation in high-tech engineering & manufacturing environments
From civil to precision engineering, and from manufacturing machinery to Formula One cars, we understand high-tech engineering and manufacturing businesses.
Increasingly, you’re using huge volumes of data to unlock business efficiencies. Whether through the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics, Finite Element Analysis, Artificial Intelligence or some other data-hungry technology. Typically, this demands the power of high-performance computing. But this can also have implications on networking and storage.
How do you ensure that you avoid over or under specified solutions that waste money? How do you avoid networking issues? How do you manage and safeguard data?
That’s where OCF can help. We start by listening to your needs and constraints. Then, drawing on our extensive expertise and experience, we advise you on the right technology solution.
Our services extend to include solution design, technology supply, implementation and support.

COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS [CFD]An automotive design team wanted to use CFD to understand the aerodynamic implications of different designs. They required powerful, high-performance computing, but were unsure of their specific needs. OCF helped them translate their CFD system requirements into a minimum spec for HPC, providing best-fit options from leading vendors and negotiating with the suppliers to achieve optimum commercial terms. ✓ HPC facilitates CFD, slashing prototyping costs and fast-tracking design changes ✓ OCF provide best-fit HPC options from leading vendors ✓ OCF’s relationships enable technology supply coupled with affordable finance. |
FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSISA structural and civil engineering consultancy wanted to extend its use of FEA for simulation and analysis. However, it was uncertain of the right high-performance computing environment to underpin its use of FEA. OCF helped define current and projected technical requirements and identified the most cost-effective solutions. OCF architected the technical solution, including associated networking and storage requirements, supplied and installed the hardware, and provides ongoing technical support. ✓ HPC solution releases significant FEA design and build efficiencies ✓ OCF determine the most cost-effective option ✓ Ongoing management and support ensure that it continues to operate effectively. |
