关于客户
The customer is one of the world’s largest producers and transporters of liquefied natural gas. They embarked on an ambitious program to accelerate operational effectiveness by automating a wide range of enterprise, cross-functional, and department-level business processes. The customer aimed to deliver quick, visible wins to secure additional funding for expanding their efforts. They sought to avoid the complexity and high total cost of ownership that often result from uncoordinated and tactical efforts. The customer wanted to avoid past mistakes, such as having to learn and support multiple automation platforms, expensive custom coding workarounds, architectures that do not support reuse and consistency, and user interfaces that drive up training costs and discourage user adoption.
挑战
Our customer, one of the world’s largest producers and transporters of liquefied natural gas, embarked on an ambitious program to accelerate operational effectiveness. At the core of this effort is the automation of a wide range of enterprise, cross-functional, and department level business processes. To make an undertaking of this scale successful, our customer sought to deliver initial quick, visible wins that would ensure additional funding to expand their efforts. As the program expanded, they sought to avoid the explosion of complexity and total cost of ownership that results from diffuse, uncoordinated, and tactical efforts. To make this plan a success, our customer sought to avoid the mistakes of the past: having to learn and support multiple automation platforms to handle the full range of processes they would need to automate; expensive custom coding workarounds to address missing platform functionality; architectures that do not support reuse and consistency; and confusing, inconsistent, and unfriendly user interfaces that drive up training costs and discourage user adoption.
解决方案
The Ultimus Digital Process Automation Suite was chosen for its comprehensive and well-thought-through digital process management system. Unlike other low-code software technologies, Ultimus' 'industrial' approach allows organizations to create a 'software factory' that makes the application composition vision a reality. The suite provides a standardized architecture that addresses process, case, task, and integration scenarios. It includes common portal, application, and usability functionalities that are pre-implemented, consistent, and no longer part of the development process. The suite also allows for the creation of reusable, inherently interoperable digital assets, reducing the need for expensive, one-off custom programming. The 'compose by reference' model reduces complexity and makes global and family-level changes fast and error-free. Ultimus solution experts co-developed initial solutions with the customer’s business analysts and process owners to provide real-world experience and create the composable Ultimus assets and solution family structure. This minimized long-term cost of ownership and maximized business agility. Within a few months, the company was able to quickly bring new hires up to speed and implement solutions independently.

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.
