关于客户
Kennametal, founded in 1938, is a global leader in creating tools and industrial materials, serving industries such as aerospace, automotive, construction, mining, and oil & gas. With over 12,000 employees and customers in more than 60 countries, Kennametal attributes its success to a quick, attentive response to customer needs and a problem-solving attitude. The company focuses on scientific processes for analyzing materials and managing engineering teams, aiming to speed up the development process by comparing data sets of products and characteristics.
挑战
Kennametal faced challenges in tapping into its vast intellectual property and managing data effectively. Despite implementing an SAP ERP system, extracting and working with data remained difficult. Employees used various analytics tools, but none met the company's goals for detailed analytics. The proliferation of uncontrolled documents and data saved to desktops posed a security risk. Kennametal needed a centralized, powerful, and easy-to-use business intelligence (BI) solution.
解决方案
Kennametal decided to transform its IT environment by moving to the cloud and adopted Microsoft’s cloud-based BI tools, including Power BI. Power BI’s natural-language query feature allowed users to ask questions and see results in visual formats like charts and graphs. This solution provided 12,000 employees with cloud-based access to sophisticated analytics and project data. The company also planned to equip employees with Windows 10 tablets for mobile access to Power BI and Cortana, enhancing workflow and data accessibility. Integration with Microsoft Dynamics CRM and other internal applications was also anticipated.

Case Study
Taking Oil and Gas Exploration to the Next Level
DownUnder GeoSolutions (DUG) wanted to increase computing performance by 5 to 10 times to improve seismic processing. The solution must build on current architecture software investments without sacrificing existing software and scale computing without scaling IT infrastructure costs.
Case Study
Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.
Case Study
Refinery Saves Over $700,000 with Smart Wireless
One of the largest petroleum refineries in the world is equipped to refine various types of crude oil and manufacture various grades of fuel from motor gasoline to Aviation Turbine Fuel. Due to wear and tear, eight hydrogen valves in each refinery were leaking, and each cost $1800 per ton of hydrogen vented. The plant also had leakage on nearly 30 flare control hydrocarbon valves. The refinery wanted a continuous, online monitoring system that could catch leaks early, minimize hydrogen and hydrocarbon production losses, and improve safety for maintenance.
Case Study
Airbus Soars with Wearable Technology
Building an Airbus aircraft involves complex manufacturing processes consisting of thousands of moving parts. Speed and accuracy are critical to business and competitive advantage. Improvements in both would have high impact on Airbus’ bottom line. Airbus wanted to help operators reduce the complexity of assembling cabin seats and decrease the time required to complete this task.
Case Study
Aircraft Predictive Maintenance and Workflow Optimization
First, aircraft manufacturer have trouble monitoring the health of aircraft systems with health prognostics and deliver predictive maintenance insights. Second, aircraft manufacturer wants a solution that can provide an in-context advisory and align job assignments to match technician experience and expertise.
