关于客户
客户是一家位于美国的大型工业洗衣公司。该公司是纺织业和服务业的重要参与者。该公司传统上是劳动密集型企业，但有远见，尽可能地拥抱创新。它积极地从劳动密集型制造商转变为知识密集型公司，将几家传统工厂改造成智能工厂。该公司的管理层需要监控其大型设施中机器和工人的效率，并利用可视化和数据分析来帮助他们部署效率计划。
挑战
这家工业洗衣公司是纺织和服务业的重要参与者，正在努力向工业 4.0 转型。该公司是传统企业，严重依赖手工劳动和旧设备，缺乏自动化的开放通信接口。管理层需要监控大型设施中机器和工人的效率，并利用可视化和数据分析来部署效率计划。然而，传统的 PLC/HMI 解决方案过于昂贵，而且不易集成到基于云的解决方案中。因此，他们需要一个专用的基于云的应用程序，让管理层能够轻松查看他们在全国多个地点的生产效率。
解决方案
研华为该工业洗衣公司提供边缘网关平台，帮助其将传统工厂转变为支持工业 4.0 的智能工厂。研华 WISE-4051 是一款带 RS-485 端口的 8 通道数字输入 IoT 无线 I/O 模块，用作无线计数器，用于监控每位工人处理的洗衣物品数量。掌上型自动化计算机 UNO-2272G 充当数据网关，用于本地数据聚合，然后将数据推送到 AWS 云应用程序。EKI-6332GN IEEE 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi 应用程序/客户端用于现场无线基础设施以及从整个工厂的终端设备（包括装有传感器的非常老旧的设备）收集数据。

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.

Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).
