关于客户
宾夕法尼亚收费公路委员会 (PTC) 是一个州机构,负责宾夕法尼亚收费公路(美国宾夕法尼亚州的收费公路系统)的建设、运营和维护。 PTC 负责监管 600 多英里的高速公路中心线并管理 30,000 多个标志。参与该项目的 PTC 资源团队包括主要利益相关者 Eric Halen、IT 项目经理 Bob Hibbert 以及项目管理办公室的项目经理 Brad Wastler。
挑战
宾夕法尼亚州收费公路委员会 (PTC) 面临着管理遍布 600 多英里高速公路中心线的 30,000 多个标志的挑战。确保在如此庞大的标志库存中始终提供最新、最好的信息是一项艰巨的任务。 PTC 需要一个系统,该系统不仅可以管理标牌库存,还可以创建工作请求、与第三方工单处理系统交互,并保持标牌数据最新,以便做出更好的决策。由于需要捕获和存储每个标志的 50 多个属性,这一挑战变得更加复杂。
解决方案
PTC 采用 AgileAssets Sign Manager 来改进其标牌的资产管理。新系统允许 PTC 收集所有标志图像,并捕获和存储每个标志的 50 多个属性。除了管理标牌库存之外,AgileAssets 系统还用于创建工作请求并与第三方工作订单处理系统连接,将这些请求转化为实际的工作订单。工作订单完成后,界面会更新 AgileAssets 系统中的相关属性和标志图像。标牌管理器还用于在系统中添加或淘汰标牌,确保标牌上的数据始终是最新的。该解决方案的实施涉及强大的 AgileAssets 团队,包括功能分析师、界面开发人员、培训师和系统开发人员,以及 SAP 顾问、Continental 制图顾问、浮点顾问和 DBI 构建顾问等合作伙伴。

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.

Splunk Partnership Ties Together Big Data & IoT Services
Splunk was faced with the need to meet emerging customer demands for interfacing IoT projects to its suite of services. The company required an IoT partner that would be able to easily and quickly integrate with its Splunk Enterprise platform, rather than allocating development resources and time to building out an IoT interface and application platform.

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.
