关于客户
SilverHook Powerboats 是一家设计和举办摩托艇比赛的公司。该公司总裁 Nigel Hook 本人也是一名摩托艇赛手，驾驶 48 英尺 77 号 Lucas Oil SilverHook 赛艇。该公司对摩托艇比赛充满热情，并且熟悉这项运动面临的挑战。他们意识到赛手依靠船只的遥测数据来制定策略和安全决策，但他们很难跟踪收到的大量信息。此外，他们还注意到粉丝很难跟上海上比赛的进展，从而降低了他们的参与度。
挑战
SilverHook Powerboats 是一家设计和制造动力艇的公司，他们在利用赛艇上的传感器生成的大量遥测数据时面临挑战。这些数据对于比赛期间做出战略和安全决策至关重要，但团队很难实时跟踪和分析这些信息。此外，该公司希望通过提供比赛的实时再现来增强粉丝体验，但在恶劣的海洋环境中使用摄像设备面临挑战。该公司计划在世界动力艇锦标赛上首次推出一款解决方案，而锦标赛仅剩几个月，因此项目期限非常紧迫。
解决方案
为了应对这些挑战，SilverHook Powerboats 与 IBM、DataSkill, Inc. 和 Animation Research Ltd. 的部门 Virtual Eye 合作，利用 IBM 的 Internet of Things Foundation 和 Bluemix 平台开发解决方案。该解决方案涉及使用 IoT Foundation 将赛艇上的传感器和 GPS 追踪器中的数据直接传输到 IBM 云中。然后使用 Bluemix 中的分析工具分析数据以提取重要见解。3D 运动图形提供商 Virtual Eye 使用这些数据开发了丰富的可视化效果，向赛队提供技术信息和警报，并向粉丝实时展示比赛。由于 Bluemix 提供的可扩展云基础架构，该解决方案得以快速开发，从而可以快速开发、监控和部署新应用程序，而无需耗时的内部管理。

Drill ship power challenge: hybrid solution solves distribution issues
Aspin Kemp & Associates (AKA), a manufacturer of electrical power and control systems headquartered in Montague, PEI, encountered one with its hybrid power initiative, the first hybrid drill floor destined for installation on ultra-deepwater drill ships operated by Transocean, Swiss offshore drilling contractors. Since on-site modification was impossible and scrap recycling of any modifications was unacceptable, the enclosures had to arrive ready-to-install.

Ensures Tanker Safety and Emissions Compliance
Storage tanks are irregular in shape and a certain amount of mathematical modelling is required to get an accurate representation of volume and, more importantly, the weight of material in each tank. In addition, countries have different emission regulations, so the ships position needed to be accurately known in order to geotag emission data.

Real-time Networked Sonar System for Ships
A multinational, knowledge-based corporation that delivers marine electronics solutions is utilizing industrial Ethernet technology to help ensure that operations at sea are dependable and optimal. Based in Europe, the company has nearly 4000 employees working in 20 countries around the world, and produces high-tech systems for offshore oil and gas operations, merchant marine systems, and various applications for the defense and aerospace industries. The company produces products and systems used by merchant vessels and offshore installations for positioning, navigation, automation, as well as for surveying and monitoring the seabed, and for fishing vessels and fi sheries research. As one of the major suppliers of high quality marine electronics in the world, their products include chart plotters for yachts, triple redundant dynamic positioning systems for oil drilling rigs, and sonar and instrument systems for scientifi c research vessels. Products used for marine applications must be rugged enough to endure the corrosive effects of salt water, and be able to withstand excessive amounts of vibration and shock. For this reason, the company only uses DNV and GL certified products and components to ensure that their systems can meet the high standards required by the maritime industry.

Mitsubishi Electric's Edge Computing Solution Powered by Wind River VxWorks
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, a global leader in factory automation (FA) applications, identified edge computing as a critical component of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The company aimed to enhance device and data security, reduce data traffic to the cloud, and enable faster response to network or device issues. In 2018, Mitsubishi Electric launched its first line of industrial hardware products designed for edge computing, the MELIPC Series. The primary development goals for MELIPC were to support the type of edge computing promoted by Mitsubishi Electric and to introduce advanced vision technology for device control. The flagship computer of the MELIPC line, the MI5000, was designed to combine real-time equipment control with high-speed data collection, processing, diagnosis, and feedback in a single machine. However, the development team needed a real-time control platform that could seamlessly integrate real-time control with proven analytic and diagnostic applications.
