Accelerating product development in magnetic refrigeration

kiutra is a company providing cooling solutions for the rapid prototyping of quantum hardware.

Initially, their development process revolved around experimental values and simple calculations, often leading to non-ideal results or even bad performance during prototype testing.

As a remedy, they tried introducing a desktop-based simulation tool, but were again slowed down by a hard-to-use GUI and a rigid licensing model inhibiting the collaboration between the team, impacting project timelines and prototype quality.

Quanscient Allsolve, a cloud-based multiphysics simulation software, offered a solution. 

Its user-friendly interface and Python scripting capabilities enabled kiutra to accurately simulate the full magnetocaloric cooling cycle of their cryostats, leading to improved technology and product development.

Furthermore, the lightweight nature of the tool being entirely browse-based with an unlimited number of licenses made project sharing and collaboration within the team effortless.

Key benefits observed

• Faster, more accurate simulations: With Allsolve, kiutra reduced simulation times dramatically while increasing accuracy. This improvement in speed and precision significantly accelerated the prototyping phase. 
  
  "Quanscient Allsolve made our hardware iterations much more reliable and functional, speeding up the development process by requiring fewer hardware iterations."
  
  
• Ease of use and integration: Allsolve’s cloud-based platform required no hardware or software installations, simplifying its adoption and facilitating the expansion of its use within kiutra.
  
  "Compared to other solutions, Allsolve is way easier to implement in the company and in
  the team as it requires no hardware and software setup"
  
  
• Collaboration: The platform’s ability to provide unlimited user access and easy project sharing improved kiutra’s design process, making simulations more integral to their development efforts.
  
  "Everyone can access the same data and simulate at the same time, not requiring any
  local resources in the company" 

Impact on product development

The integration of Allsolve into kiutra’s workflow not only made concept development and prototyping easier but also more reliable, thereby shortening the development cycles. 

"It made concept development and prototyping much easier. It made it more reliable and in consequence, it helped us speed up the development cycles," said a team member from kiutra, reflecting on the broader impacts of using Allsolve.

Looking ahead with Quanscient Allsolve

kiutra plans to continue using Quanscient Allsolve, especially as the software develops even further and introduces new features. 

Allsolve has become an essential part of kiutra’s approach to addressing the challenges of quantum technology development.
