About The Customer
Goldcrest Post is a market-leading supplier of Academy Award® and BAFTA Award-winning picture and sound post-production services for film and broadcast projects, with facilities in New York and London. The company has worked on large-scale projects such as Jason Bourne, Me Before You, and Ricky Gervais’ latest directorial effort, the Netflix-distributed satirical comedy Special Correspondents. Each of these projects was mixed on Avid Avid S6, recently installed as part of their major facility-upgrade program. Goldcrest Post is known for its commitment to delivering high-quality content and maintaining leading-edge technical specifications.
The Challenge
Goldcrest Post, a leading supplier of post-production services for film and broadcast projects, faced the challenge of maintaining its technical edge in a highly competitive market. The company needed to ensure a steady stream of post-production work in both film and broadcast projects by maintaining a cutting-edge, technical specification. The increasing desire of movie-audio engineers to mix within Pro Tools, entirely 'in the box', was another challenge that the company had to address. The company's goal was to build the best possible rooms for their clients to work in, and this required a major facility upgrade.
The Solution
Goldcrest Post decided to install Avid S6 control surfaces as part of a major Avid-based upgrade program. The company installed not one, but two Avid S6 control surfaces in their theaters to support the increasing desire of movie-audio engineers to mix within Pro Tools. The first S6—a 48-fader configuration involving two 24-fader surfaces—was positioned in Goldcrest' Theater 2 in July of 2015. This installation was the first dual-operator Avid S6 in the UK, as well as one of the first in Europe. A 32-fader system was installed for Theater 1 in March of 2016, followed by a May relaunch as 'Soho’s largest purpose-built Dolby Atmos Premier mixing theatre'.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
