关于客户
本案例研究中的客户是世界上最大的建筑设备制造商。他们最重要的工厂之一位于密西西比州牛津，每月生产 110 万个工业联轴器。这些联轴器几乎用于该公司生产的每台推土机、自卸车和挖掘机。工厂的正常运行时间对于公司的整体生产至关重要。该公司制定了由健康和安全协调员领导的健全的紧急行动计划，以确保紧急情况下员工的安全。
挑战
世界上最大的建筑设备制造商，其最重要的工厂之一位于密西西比州牛津，当一场毁灭性的龙卷风袭击该工厂时，该工厂面临着潜在的灾难性局面。该工厂位于龙卷风的直接路径上，每月生产 110 万个工业联轴器，几乎用于该公司生产的每台推土机、自卸卡车和挖掘机。这场灾难不仅威胁到员工的生命，还威胁到全公司的生产，使该组织面临有史以来最严重的生产危机。面临的挑战是确保员工的安全并尽量减少对公司运营的影响。
解决方案
解决方案是 AccuWeather 及时发布龙卷风警报。下午 5 点 37 分，龙卷风袭来之前，AccuWeather 发布了 18 英里外有风暴的警告。当时，没有其他气象机构对工厂位置发出警告。该工厂的健康和安全协调员通过短信收到了这一警告，她立即根据紧急行动计划将 88 人转移到避难所。下午5点59分，龙卷风袭来。由于 AccuWeather 的警告，没有造成人员伤亡，所有人都安全有序地转移到避难所。该工厂的员工在几天之内就恢复了附近工厂的运营，展示了业务连续性的成功故事。

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.
