关于客户
The City of Minot, North Dakota, also known as the Magic City, was established in 1886 when the Great Northern Railroad ended its push through the state for the winter months. The city has a rich history and is a vibrant and resilient community that is constantly improving opportunities while preserving its heritage. The city's Vehicle Maintenance team, led by Vehicle Maintenance Superintendent Brian Horinka, supports the city. The team, consisting of four mechanics, a welder, a light mechanic, a foreman, and two parts storeroom staff members, manages and maintains about 775 different pieces of equipment for the City of Minot. They take care of anything with an engine or wheels with the exception of the fire department.
挑战
The City of Minot, North Dakota, had been using a system purchased in the 1980s for all city functions, including vehicle maintenance tracking, purchasing and inventory, and financials. While the system was computerized, many of the team’s necessary processes were paper-based, leading to inefficiencies and the potential for lost or damaged data. The city decided to modernize the system and began looking for a new asset management system to be used by the Public Works Department. The software deployment process coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic, which shifted meetings and training sessions that would typically be done in-person to a virtual platform.
解决方案
In 2020, the team at Minot chose to implement AssetWorks FleetFocus fleet management system to modernize operations and improve efficiencies. The software deployment process began with the Minot team preparing the data within their existing system to be uploaded into the FleetFocus system. The IT Department at the City of Minot was able to extract and reconfigure the data necessary for the software deployment. As the data was being added to the system, the Minot team decided to go live with FleetFocus before all interfaces were officially complete. This allowed them to work in the AssetWorks system for about two months before all interfaces went live, which helped them understand more of what they needed to extract and the data they have to tie into their financial programs.

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.

Case Study
Smart Street Light Network (Copenhagen)
Key stakeholders are taking a comprehensive approach to rethinking smart city innovation. City leaders have collaborated through partnerships involving government, research institutions and solution providers. The Copenhagen Solutions Lab is one of the leading organizations at the forefront of this movement. By bringing together manufacturers with municipal buyers, the Copenhagen Solutions Lab has catalyzed the development and deployment of next-generation smart city innovations. Copenhagen is leveraging this unique approach to accelerate the implementation of smart city solutions. One of the primary focus areas is LED street lighting.
Case Study
Buoy Status Monitoring with LoRa
The Netherlands are well-known for their inland waterways, canals, sluices and of course port activities. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure indicates that there are thousands of buoys and fixed items in and near water environments that would profit from IoT monitoring. One of the problems with buoys for example, is that they get hit by ships and the anchor cable breaks. Without connectivity, it takes quite some time to find out that something has happened with that buoy. Not to mention the costs of renting a boat to go to the buoy to fix it. Another important issue, is that there is no real-time monitoring of the buoys at this moment. Only by physically visiting the object on the water, one gains insight in its status.
Case Study
China Mobile Smart Parking
Smart Parking, powered by NB-IoT technology, is making it easier for drivers to find free parking spots. Cities can better manage their parking assets and maximize the revenue available to them as a result. Drivers searching for parking create congestion and pollution by circling and hunting for available parking. Smart Parking services are able to significantly ease these problems by guiding a driver directly to a parking space.
Case Study
Barcelona Case Study
Barcelona’s heavy traffic and its associated high levels of pollution were the primary factors that motivated some companies and universities to work on strategies for improving traffic in the city centre. Bitcarrier is one of the technologies involved in the In4Mo Project, whose main objective is to develop the applications that form the core of smart mobility, one of the fundamental pillars of the smart city concept.
