关于客户
Narron Construction 是一家女性拥有的道路建设行业企业。该公司总部位于北卡罗来纳州米德尔塞克斯,自 1990 年以来一直从事道路、人行道和停车场的铺设工作。该公司在大罗利-达勒姆地区开展业务,有六支施工队忙碌不已。该公司由 Debbie Narron 管理,她的丈夫 Van Narron 和 Michael Vaught 负责监督活动并担任主要估算师。Narron Construction 以诚实和尽心尽力做好工作而闻名。其展示项目包括罗利最负盛名的开发项目之一 Parker Lincoln Building 的所有街道工程,以及北卡罗来纳州历史悠久的威尔逊的人行道,威尔逊是东海岸最大的古董市场所在地。
挑战
总部位于北卡罗来纳州的公路建设公司 Narron Construction 在跟踪作业成本数据方面面临挑战,因此无法更好地分析每个项目的时间和材料费用。该公司在初创时期一直使用 Sage 50—US Edition 作为其会计软件包。然而,随着业务的增长,需要更复杂的成本评估功能。该公司需要一种解决方案,可以自动跟踪作业成本数据、简化数据输入任务并确保整个公司更高的准确性。
解决方案
根据其值得信赖的 CPA 公司的建议,Narron 升级到 Sage 100 ERP 并实施了 Job Cost 模块。Sage 100 ERP Job Cost 模块是为需要逐个项目监控盈利能力的承包商、工程师、建筑师和分包商开发的。Job Cost 与所有其他 Sage 100 ERP 模块无缝集成。成本信息只需输入一次,即可自动流向应付账款、应收账款、工资单和总帐模块。Narron 的主管提交每日时间表。然后,每位员工的工作时间都会输入到 Sage 100 ERP TimeCard 模块中,该模块每天自动将数据传送到 Job Cost。工资信息每周传送一次到 Payroll 模块。这使工作能够反映最新的劳动力成本,同时确保 Payroll 模块在发薪日及时获得所需的信息。

IoT System for Tunnel Construction
The Zenitaka Corporation ('Zenitaka') has two major business areas: its architectural business focuses on structures such as government buildings, office buildings, and commercial facilities, while its civil engineering business is targeted at structures such as tunnels, bridges and dams. Within these areas, there presented two issues that have always persisted in regard to the construction of mountain tunnels. These issues are 'improving safety" and "reducing energy consumption". Mountain tunnels construction requires a massive amount of electricity. This is because there are many kinds of electrical equipment being used day and night, including construction machinery, construction lighting, and ventilating fan. Despite this, the amount of power consumption is generally not tightly managed. In many cases, the exact amount of power consumption is only ascertained when the bill from the power company becomes available. Sometimes, corporations install demand-monitoring equipment to help curb the maximum power demanded. However, even in these cases, the devices only allow the total volume of power consumption to be ascertained, or they may issue warnings to prevent the contracted volume of power from being exceeded. In order to tackle the issue of reducing power consumption, it was first necessary to obtain an accurate breakdown of how much power was being used in each particular area. In other words, we needed to be able to visualize the amount of power being consumed. Safety, was also not being managed very rigorously. Even now, tunnel construction sites often use a 'name label' system for managing entry into the work site. Specifically, red labels with white reverse sides that bear the workers' names on both sides are displayed at the tunnel work site entrance. The workers themselves then flip the name label to the appropriate side when entering or exiting from the work site to indicate whether or not they are working inside the tunnel at any given time. If a worker forgets to flip his or her name label when entering or exiting from the tunnel, management cannot be performed effectively. In order to tackle the challenges mentioned above, Zenitaka decided to build a system that could improve the safety of tunnel construction as well as reduce the amount of power consumed. In other words, this new system would facilitate a clear picture of which workers were working in each location at the mountain tunnel construction site, as well as which processes were being carried out at those respective locations at any given time. The system would maintain the safety of all workers while also carefully controlling the electrical equipment to reduce unnecessary power consumption. Having decided on the concept, our next concern was whether there existed any kind of robust hardware that would not break down at the construction work site, that could move freely in response to changes in the working environment, and that could accurately detect workers and vehicles using radio frequency identification (RFID). Given that this system would involve many components that were new to Zenitaka, we decided to enlist the cooperation of E.I.Sol Co., Ltd. ('E.I.Sol') as our joint development partner, as they had provided us with a highly practical proposal.

Condition Based Monitoring for Industrial Systems
A large construction aggregate plant operates 10 high horsepower Secondary Crusher Drive Motors and associated conveyor belts, producing 600 tons of product per hour. All heavy equipment requires maintenance, but the aggregate producer’s costs were greatly magnified any time that the necessary maintenance was unplanned and unscheduled. The product must be supplied to the customers on a tight time schedule to fulfill contracts, avoid penalties, and prevent the loss of future business. Furthermore, a sudden failure in one of the drive motors would cause rock to pile up in unwanted locations, extending the downtime and increasing the costs.Clearly, preventative maintenance was preferable to unexpected failures. So, twice each year, the company brought in an outside vendor to attach sensors to the motors, do vibration studies, measure bearing temperatures and attempt to assess the health of the motors. But that wasn’t enough. Unexpected breakdowns continued to occur. The aggregate producer decided to upgrade to a Condition Based Monitoring (CBM) sensor system that could continually monitor the motors in real time, apply data analytics to detect changes in motor behavior before they developed into major problems, and alert maintenance staff via email or text, anywhere they happened to be.A wired sensor network would have been cost prohibitive. An aggregate plant has numerous heavy vehicles moving around, so any cabling would have to be protected. But the plant covers 400 acres, and the cable would have to be trenched to numerous locations. Cable wasn’t going to work. The aggregate producer needed a wireless solution.
