关于客户
The customer in this case study is Kier Highways, one of the UK’s leading highways management and maintenance teams. They operate the Meir Tunnel on behalf of Highways England. The Meir Tunnel is a 284 meter long road tunnel located on the A50, a major trunk road running almost 100 miles from Warrington to Leicester. The Meir area is a heavily congested urban district that connects Uttoxeter, Nottingham and the East Midlands with Stoke-on-Trent city center and the M6 Motorway, the UK’s longest and possibly busiest non-stop motorway. The self-ventilating, dual-lane tunnel was built in 1997 to allow free flow traffic to bypass the Meir junction on the A50 and continue towards the M6 Motorway.
挑战
The Meir Tunnel, a 284 meter long road tunnel located on the A50, a major trunk road in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England, was in need of an upgrade to its Tunnel Control System (TCS) and SCADA system. The tunnel, which is heavily used and strategically important, is operated by Kier Highways on behalf of Highways England. The tunnel is served by an unmanned Tunnel Service Building (TSB) and is controlled and monitored from the main control room located in Coventry. In March 2015, Kier identified the need to upgrade their incumbent SCADA system, future proof their asset management prerequisites and drive engineering response time efficiencies. The challenge was to upgrade the system while returning the tunnel to service every day.
解决方案
Core Control Solutions (CCS), an agile and growing control systems integrator based in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, delivered a state-of-the-art Tunnel Control System (TCS) complete with a fully integrated Supervisor Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system based on ICONICS’ GENESIS64™ software. The new TCS deployed a hot-standby PLC system complete with distributed I/O and RTU’s that communicated via a GPRS data network. The TCS upgrade included the design and installation of a new resilient fibre-optic network configured in a ring typology throughout the estate providing connectivity for the tunnel assets. The tunnel assets controlled and monitored by the new TCS include but is not limited to; tunnel lighting, Variable Message Signs (VMS), Emergency Escape Lighting, Linear Heat Detection, LV Distribution, Standby Generators, Sumps and Pumps and local traffic light interfaces.

Case Study
Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.
Case Study
IoT-based Fleet Intelligence Innovation
Speed to market is precious for DRVR, a rapidly growing start-up company. With a business model dependent on reliable mobile data, managers were spending their lives trying to negotiate data roaming deals with mobile network operators in different countries. And, even then, service quality was a constant concern.
Case Study
Digitize Railway with Deutsche Bahn
To reduce maintenance costs and delay-causing failures for Deutsche Bahn. They need manual measurements by a position measurement system based on custom-made MEMS sensor clusters, which allow autonomous and continuous monitoring with wireless data transmission and long battery. They were looking for data pre-processing solution in the sensor and machine learning algorithms in the cloud so as to detect critical wear.
Case Study
Cold Chain Transportation and Refrigerated Fleet Management System
1) Create a digital connected transportation solution to retrofit cold chain trailers with real-time tracking and controls. 2) Prevent multi-million dollar losses due to theft or spoilage. 3) Deliver a digital chain-of-custody solution for door to door load monitoring and security. 4) Provide a trusted multi-fleet solution in a single application with granular data and access controls.
Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
