关于客户
Cinedigm 是一家提供全方位服务的数字娱乐发行公司，也是全球最大的独立数字内容聚合商。Cinedigm 为各种发行平台提供屡获殊荣的内容，包括数字、有线视频点播、蓝光、DVD 和影院发行，并通过与 Netflix、iTunes、Hulu、亚马逊等多家公司的合作，覆盖全球观众。Cinedigm 依靠 Aspera 的专利 FASP® 技术向其所有合作伙伴发行平台提供数字内容，并从独立电影制片人和工作室获取内容。
挑战
随着 Cinedigm 的业务不断发展，该公司面临着如何从制作公司检索更多内容并以更快的速度向其遍布全国乃至国际的分销合作伙伴传播更多内容的困境。面对全长高清电影（通常未压缩或采用 ProRes 或其他高分辨率版本），Cinedigm 需要一种传输解决方案，既能容纳非常大的文件大小，又能保持速度、效率和安全性。除了从制作人处接收内容并交付给分销合作伙伴外，Cinedigm 还需要一种更快的传输机制来满足其内部业务需求。需要将文件快速传送到位于达拉斯和芝加哥的存储设施，并将内容从纽约发送到其位于洛杉矶的姊妹办公室进行共享和协作。在国内和国际之间来回运送硬盘上的媒体内容成本太高且耗时，而 FTP 在速度、带宽消耗和可靠性方面也存在挑战。Cinedigm 寻求一种更快、更可靠的解决方案来缩短端到端交付工作流程。
解决方案
在评估了各种选择后，Cinedigm 选择了 Aspera 的一款软件套件来满足其传输需求，他们认为 Aspera 在媒体和娱乐行业的普及程度以及该技术能够随着业务的增长而扩展，是他们做出决定的关键影响因素。由于 Cinedigm 合作的几乎每家公司都在使用或附属于 Aspera 的后端交付系统，因此采用 Aspera 为现有的基于 Aspera 的工作流程生态系统打开了大门，使合作伙伴和客户之间的传输变得前所未有的轻松。Cinedigm 采用了 Aspera Connect Server，使内容合作伙伴能够直接向 Cinedigm 交付文件。收到内容后，它会经过一系列步骤，包括处理、转码和提取，然后 Cinedigm 将文件上传到“工作流程监视文件夹”，Aspera Connect Server 会从中获取文件，然后高速交付到分发渠道。 Netflix 和 Hulu 等合作伙伴分销商可以使用他们自己的 Aspera 客户端或自动安装的 IBM® Aspera® Connect Browser Plug-in（免费提供）来下载内容。在内部，Cinedigm 选择 Aspera Point-to-Point 将长篇电影直接传输到他们的 Tier 3 镜像 SAN 存储设施和姊妹办公室，从而实现跨国团队成员之间的协作。

Remote Temperature Monitoring of Perishable Goods Saves Money
RMONI was facing temperature monitoring challenges in a cold chain business. A cold chain must be established and maintained to ensure goods have been properly refrigerated during every step of the process, making temperature monitoring a critical business function. Manual registration practice can be very costly, labor intensive and prone to mistakes.

IIC Industrial Digital Thread (IDT) Testbed
Field engineers and service teams often lack data and digital insights needed to assess, troubleshoot, and determine work scope for the large industrial assets in performing corrective and preventative maintenance activities. QA engineers many times need to understand why a particular problem in the part is happening recurrently or why parts from suppliers don’t stack up well in the assemblies due to mismatch. The root cause is usually hidden in design, manufacturing processes, supply chain logistics or production planning. But without the right data and digital insights, it's hard to pinpoint. GOAL To collect information in the design, manufacturing, service, supply-chain setup and provide access to and intelligent analytics for industrial manufacturing and performance data, to identify the root cause easier. Such insights can improve not only service and owner/operator productivity, but also provide critical feedback to the design engineering and manufacturing operations teams for continuous improvement.

Retail Uses RFID to Enable Cold Chain Monitoring
Like most grocery retailers, Hy-Vee is faced with the challenge of providing the highest quality products to its shoppers. Shoppers want the longest possible shelf life from perishable products and expect a consistent product experience each time they shop. Controlling the quality of products sold leads to shopper loyalty, which is of paramount importance to the success of Hy-Vee. Before products arrive in stores, Hy-Vee's distribution centers (DCs) handle items including dairy products, fresh meats, seafood, deli items, produce and frozen goods, all of which have different temperature needs and sensitivities. During transit from suppliers to DCs, Hy-Vee has limited visibility and temperature management abilities due to large amount of supplier managed transportation. For instance, during a week-long transit, a supplier's carrier equipment may malfunction, causing an item to thaw and then refreeze once repairs are made. Hy-Vee sought help from TempTRIP, an RFID solution provider that focuses on shipping, storage, receiving, and temperature control. TempTRIP's EPC RFID tags use Impinj chips to monitor and report temperature readings throughout the shipping and receiving process. The tags can also be re-configured and re-used, a unique feature within the current market of temperature monitoring devices.
