关于客户
The T5 Terminal at London’s Heathrow Airport was one of Europe’s largest construction projects, funded by BAA at £4.2 billion. Initial planning for the facility, with a planned capacity of moving 30 million passengers a year, began in 1985 leading to a national design competition in 1989, then a four-year public inquiry, the longest ever on record. Permission was granted in November 2001 to begin development, a major step in providing BAA its first new gateway at Heathrow since Terminal 4 opened in 1986. Construction of T5 remained steady and on time as the terminal’s March 30, 2008 opening day approached. BAA sought a comprehensive solution to deliver a very intelligent control room to operate the new T5 Terminal.
挑战
The T5 Terminal at London’s Heathrow Airport was one of Europe’s largest construction projects, funded by BAA at £4.2 billion. The terminal was designed to be a fully integrated facility, monitored through a central Terminal Service Centre (TSC) and mobile devices. A common user interface was needed to access heating, ventilation, lighting, fire, elevator, CCTV, and security systems as well as to centralize alarm management and automate system interaction. At its opening, T5 included over 50 different systems, producing a massive tag count of over 3 million. In addition, by using open industry standards based on OPC, the resulting architecture has been designed to provide flexibility for future expansion and integration, as required by the customer.
解决方案
ICONICS GENESIS32™ OPC Web-enabled HMI/ SCADA suite was selected by Ultra Electronics Airport Systems, a “first-tier” supplier for T5’s Building System Integration (BSI) and the BAA Systems Team. The ICONICS platform as implemented by Ultra provides better information to the users than any previously designed model, allowing the terminal operators to respond more quickly to changes and situations. It provides a global view of all operations within the building and allows drill down, by pan and zoom, to any asset or area of interest. Allowing connectivity with many industrial devices and control systems through a common interface, OPC was fundamental to achieving seamless integration within the BSI and giving users the ability to both see and react to cause and effect within the terminal.

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.”
