关于客户
Beco is a company that delivers real-time space analytics to connect workforces to physical spaces. They measure space utilization and workplace collaboration, while activating location-aware features to automate daily tasks. Their solution offers two main pillars of value for their customers. The first is enabling real-time engagement between people and the space they’re in, including wayfinding, finding free meeting space, locating co-workers, and similar tasks. The second pillar is their long-term analytics, which enables real estate and operations teams to make data-driven decisions about their real estate portfolio and workplace collaboration. The company holds a number of patents with additional patents pending on the technology.
挑战
Beco, a company that delivers real-time space analytics to connect workforces to physical spaces, faced challenges in processing large amounts of data collected from connected devices. They needed to keep important databases like Kafka, Cassandra, and PostgreSQL highly available when using containers. The default setting of DC/OS pins stateful services to a single host, which posed a risk to high availability. The company needed a solution that could handle stateful services in a reliable, scalable fashion.
解决方案
Beco uses a containerized microservices infrastructure that is orchestrated using Mesosphere DC/OS. They implemented Portworx, which abstracts the storage hardware and provides the ability for containers to float from node to node for both scale and reliability, as well as the data durability that comes with multi-host block-level replication. This solution filled a gap in Kubernetes and DC/OS. The company's system is made up of three key elements: a battery-free, solar-powered beacon, a Mobile SDK, and a Cloud-Service. The Mobile SDK embeds directly into corporate and partner mobile Apps to create a data stream on where the smartphone is located in the building in order to deliver location-based services and generate space analytics.

Case Study
Turning A Stadium Into A Smart Building
Honeywell created what it called the “intelligent system” for the National Stadium in Beijing, China, turning the venue for the opening and closing events at the 2008 Summer Olympics into a “smart building.” Designed by highly controversial artist Ai Weiwei, the “Bird’s Nest” remains one of the most impressive feats of stadium architecture in the world. The 250,000 square meter structure housed more than 100,000 athletes and spectators at a time. To accommodate such capacity, China turned to Honeywell’s EBI Integrated Building Management System to create an integrated “intelligent system” for improved building security, safety and energy efficiency.

Jaguar Land Rover Speeds Order-to-Cash Cycle
At Jaguar Land Rover, vehicles physically move around the facility for testing, configuration setting, rework and rectification, leading to a longer search time to get each vehicle to its next process facility. The main goal is to minimize the vehicles' dwell time between end of line and the delivery chain which was previously a manually intensive process. Jaguar Land Rover's goal was to build on the success of an earlier RFID project and improve the efficiency of delivering vehicles to meet dealer orders.
