Czero

How are custom HIL solutions built? The fidelity of a simulation model depends on the system’s requirements and available computing power. At Czero, engineers create physics-based models using MATLAB/Simulink that can simulate complex physical phenomena such as gas flow, chemical reactions, and dynamic motion. These models are customized for platforms like Speedgoat, dSPACE, ETAS LABCAR, and NI for use in real-time environments.

The combination of Czero's engineering team and Quixik Machining and Fabrication, LLC. manufacturing capability creates a powerful feedback loop for our customers. When a customer drawing comes into the Quixik machine shop with tolerances that appear much tighter than would seem necessary, we don't always automatically quote exactly what's on the print. We leverage Czero’s experienced design engineers to review the print & identify if there are opportunities to modify the print, but not the basic design. Twice this week alone, that process uncovered changes that could dramatically reduce manufacturing cost, shorten lead times, and improve producibility —while fully preserving the intended performance. Many manufacturing costs are determined long before production begins. Organizations that integrate engineering judgment with shop-floor reality consistently produce better products, faster and at lower cost. Design for manufacturability isn't an afterthought—it's a competitive advantage. And when applied correctly, GD&T is one of the most powerful DFM tools we have.

Czero and Bosch Rexroth collaborate on challenging electrification projects. The transition to #electrification for industrial and off-highway applications presents significant integration challenges. To address them, industry leaders in industrial motion, electrification and automation technology, Bosch Rexroth, and analysis-led engineering and system integration specialists, Czero, are collaborating to offer customers access to full-spectrum electrification and hydraulic solutions — from component selection and software to application-specific design, build, and commissioning. Bosch Rexroth's products deliver an end-to-end portfolio for #offhighway and industrial applications, including a full range of #electricmotor-generators, #inverters, mobile #hydraulics, servo drives, and application-specific software modules. Bosch Rexroth's product portfolio covers the full hardware stack for industrial and off-highway power and motion applications - variable hydraulics, servo drives, high-voltage inverters, electric motor-generators, and application-specific software modules. Their components are deployed across mobile equipment, industrial automation, and electrified drivetrain architectures globally. Czero's engineering capabilities provide the integration layer: physics-based dynamic modeling in MATLAB/Simulink and more, embedded controls development, nonlinear and adaptive control algorithm implementation, and full MIL/HIL validation infrastructure. Analysis, controls, mechanical design, fabrication, and system commissioning are executed in-house in Czero's facility. With 30+ years of controls delivery and over 450 completed projects across energy, defense, and transportation sectors, Czero operates at the intersection of dynamic modeling, embedded controls, and prototype build and test. "By leveraging Bosch Rexroth's complete portfolio of electric and hydraulic systems with Czero's specialized system integration expertise, we give customers a direct path from first concept to validated, commissioned system that is optimized to provide top performance." says Guy Babbitt, CEO, Czero. #BoschRexroth #Controls #Electrification #Hydraulics #SystemsIntegration #HIL #Czero #DesignBuildTest

We are pleased to share that Czero is serving as the system integrator for Tempo’s (Tempo Innovations) first-of-its-kind thermochemical energy storage (TCES) deployment 🎉 Funded by an $8.9M grant from the California Energy Commission, this multi-year project is designed to provide 100 kW of emergency power to the UC San Diego medical campus for up to 24 hours ⚡ Beyond power delivery, the system captures waste heat to augment campus cooling capacity, creating a super efficient energy recovery architecture. Tempo is on a mission to electrify the world with technology that shifts the power dynamic. Their TCES innovation solves for the significant global emissions and extreme temperature needs for heavy industries, including cement, metals, chemicals, and food and beverage — which altogether account for roughly 24% of global energy consumption. Our role: In essence, we combine Tempo’s thermochemical storage modules with the turbogenerator, power conversion, and waste heat recovery subsystems into a single seamless system — managing interfaces, boundary conditions, and controls architecture across all systems. That's the kind of multidisciplinary systems integration work we do every week, in close collaboration with our partners.
