关于客户
The customer in this case study is the IT Network Division of Santa Barbara County, California. The division is responsible for maintaining and managing the IT for 250 locations throughout the county. This includes monitoring all IT asset warranties and keeping track of all purchased and consumed assets. The division has ten staff members who require regular access to the asset tracking system, each with different needs for information, reports, and functionality. The division oversees the IT assets across 250 different locations around the county, relying on the system to track part lists and locations of all assets. They also need to generate estimates for new assets in a quick and efficient manner.
挑战
The IT Network Division of Santa Barbara County, California, was tasked with monitoring all IT asset warranties while keeping track of all purchased and consumed assets across 250 locations. The existing asset tracking system, a customized Access database, was incomplete and difficult to use. It only performed basic tracking and organizing, and lacked the ability to generate different views or lists unless customized by a programmer. The division needed a user-friendly, customizable solution that could efficiently track assets, manage warranties, and generate estimates for new assets.
解决方案
The division chose Fishbowl Warehouse as their new asset tracking system. Fishbowl Warehouse is a standalone asset tracking solution that is cost-effective and scalable, suitable for any organization seeking to track assets. It offers a comprehensive standard format out of the box and is full of customizable features. The division found it easy to import their existing data into Fishbowl. The system allows them to view what the county purchased over the years, track each asset’s location, and manage the warranties. These functions are essential for creating detailed budgets and assessing the life of assets within the department. Fishbowl also enables the division to streamline its budget while increasing its credibility when asking for additional funds.

Case Study
Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

SAS® Analytics for IoT: Smart Grid
Companies face falling revenues, rising infrastructure costs, and increasing risk of outages caused by inconsistent energy production from renewable sources. Less money is coming in as more people and organizations take steps to curb their energy use. Utilities are paying more to maintain and build infrastructure due to increasing complexity, resulting from the rising number of intermittent and variable renewable energy sources connected in the distribution grid.
Case Study
Building Smart IoT-Connected Railways
• Difficult environment. Communications equipment on trains must function properly in harsh conditions, such as environment temperatures ranging from -25°C to +85°C, according to the EU standard EN50155.• Railway regulations. All products in a train must adhere to strict standards, relating to working vibration, power consumption, and lifetime.• Lengthy process. Time to market in the railway industry can take years from concept to mass production, so product design requires a solid long term vision.
