挑战
Bainbridge International, a manufacturer and distributor of specialty products to marine, construction and recreational markets, was looking for ways to gain a competitive advantage over other companies in its industry. The company had previously utilized IT specialists Blue Rock Systems to stabilize and support its 50-user Microsoft DynamicsNAV (Navision) ERP installation. The success of that engagement led Bainbridge to approach Blue Rock Systems again about other ways to enhance its operations. Specifically, Bainbridge required a sales tool that would help the company track and increase customer spend and profit. They needed a 'finger on the pulse' solution that could provide valuable insights into customer behavior and product appeal.
解决方案
Blue Rock Systems, a Qlik business partner, proposed the use of QlikView to power its Blue Rock Console (BRC), a business intelligence solution designed to complement any back office system. The QlikView-powered BRC provides the capabilities to track, analyze and understand all aspects of the business, and can easily and quickly be adapted to fit a customer’s specific requirements. With the QlikView-powered BRC, any salesperson at the touch of a button can identify a customer’s 'drift', meaning the continuing purchase, declining purchase or non-purchase of products or product groups that they would traditionally buy. Additional functionality for sales teams includes suggested link products that should be needed by customers and the tracking of any expanded product line sales or potential sales.

Drill ship power challenge: hybrid solution solves distribution issues
Aspin Kemp & Associates (AKA), a manufacturer of electrical power and control systems headquartered in Montague, PEI, encountered one with its hybrid power initiative, the first hybrid drill floor destined for installation on ultra-deepwater drill ships operated by Transocean, Swiss offshore drilling contractors. Since on-site modification was impossible and scrap recycling of any modifications was unacceptable, the enclosures had to arrive ready-to-install.
Case Study
Ensures Tanker Safety and Emissions Compliance
Storage tanks are irregular in shape and a certain amount of mathematical modelling is required to get an accurate representation of volume and, more importantly, the weight of material in each tank. In addition, countries have different emission regulations, so the ships position needed to be accurately known in order to geotag emission data.

Mitsubishi Electric's Edge Computing Solution Powered by Wind River VxWorks
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, a global leader in factory automation (FA) applications, identified edge computing as a critical component of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The company aimed to enhance device and data security, reduce data traffic to the cloud, and enable faster response to network or device issues. In 2018, Mitsubishi Electric launched its first line of industrial hardware products designed for edge computing, the MELIPC Series. The primary development goals for MELIPC were to support the type of edge computing promoted by Mitsubishi Electric and to introduce advanced vision technology for device control. The flagship computer of the MELIPC line, the MI5000, was designed to combine real-time equipment control with high-speed data collection, processing, diagnosis, and feedback in a single machine. However, the development team needed a real-time control platform that could seamlessly integrate real-time control with proven analytic and diagnostic applications.
