关于客户
With more than $1.1 billion in assets and around 220 employees, Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority owns and manages around 140 heritage assets. It is responsible for some of the most historically and culturally significant waterfront locations in the region such as the precincts at The Rocks and Darling Harbour. The Authority holds sustainability, social responsibility and economic viability at the very core of its management of these sites. Darling Harbour and The Rocks became the first precincts in New South Wales with eco-footprint reduction targets, which aim to reduce the carbon emissions of these precincts by 80 per cent from 2000 levels by 2020. Between them, the precincts attract around 40 million visitors annually.
挑战
Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority needed to reduce the energy costs associated with powering end user equipment. It also needed to deploy software patches and upgrades to those machines in a more effective and efficient manner.
解决方案
The Foreshore Authority deployed NightWatchman from 1E across its entire estate of PCs. For maximum impact, it kicked off the project during Earth Hour, a global sustainability movement which started in Sydney in 2007 and now has the participation of over 50 million people across 35 countries. NightWatchman from 1E was used to shutdown all computers automatically at 7pm each day to save on energy costs. With this power policy, any users still working at that time, were able to defer the shutdown, if they needed to complete an important assignment. The NightWatchman system provides the Foreshore Authority’s management with unparalleled reporting, which is based on actual machine make and model power consumption figures and local energy tariffs. This meant that any changes to power consumption could be tracked and details of PC usage patterns could be used to identify where improvements could be made. The WakeUp component of NightWatchman facilitates automatic software patching and upgrades to be done after hours, when energy tariffs are cheaper and with zero disruption to the end user.

Case Study
Turning A Stadium Into A Smart Building
Honeywell created what it called the “intelligent system” for the National Stadium in Beijing, China, turning the venue for the opening and closing events at the 2008 Summer Olympics into a “smart building.” Designed by highly controversial artist Ai Weiwei, the “Bird’s Nest” remains one of the most impressive feats of stadium architecture in the world. The 250,000 square meter structure housed more than 100,000 athletes and spectators at a time. To accommodate such capacity, China turned to Honeywell’s EBI Integrated Building Management System to create an integrated “intelligent system” for improved building security, safety and energy efficiency.
Case Study
Energy Saving & Power Monitoring System
Recently a university in Taiwan was experiencing dramatic power usage increases due to its growing number of campus buildings and students. Aiming to analyze their power consumption and increase their power efficiency across 52 buildings, the university wanted to build a power management system utilizing web-based hardware and software. With these goals in mind, they contacted Advantech to help them develop their system and provide them with the means to save energy in the years to come.

Case Study
Smart Street Light Network (Copenhagen)
Key stakeholders are taking a comprehensive approach to rethinking smart city innovation. City leaders have collaborated through partnerships involving government, research institutions and solution providers. The Copenhagen Solutions Lab is one of the leading organizations at the forefront of this movement. By bringing together manufacturers with municipal buyers, the Copenhagen Solutions Lab has catalyzed the development and deployment of next-generation smart city innovations. Copenhagen is leveraging this unique approach to accelerate the implementation of smart city solutions. One of the primary focus areas is LED street lighting.
Case Study
Buoy Status Monitoring with LoRa
The Netherlands are well-known for their inland waterways, canals, sluices and of course port activities. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure indicates that there are thousands of buoys and fixed items in and near water environments that would profit from IoT monitoring. One of the problems with buoys for example, is that they get hit by ships and the anchor cable breaks. Without connectivity, it takes quite some time to find out that something has happened with that buoy. Not to mention the costs of renting a boat to go to the buoy to fix it. Another important issue, is that there is no real-time monitoring of the buoys at this moment. Only by physically visiting the object on the water, one gains insight in its status.
Case Study
China Mobile Smart Parking
Smart Parking, powered by NB-IoT technology, is making it easier for drivers to find free parking spots. Cities can better manage their parking assets and maximize the revenue available to them as a result. Drivers searching for parking create congestion and pollution by circling and hunting for available parking. Smart Parking services are able to significantly ease these problems by guiding a driver directly to a parking space.
