关于客户
Siemens Industry Automation is a worldwide leader in the fields of automation systems, industrial controls, and industrial software. Its portfolio ranges from standard products for the manufacturing and process industries to solutions for whole industrial sectors that encompass the automation of entire automobile production facilities and chemical plants. As a leading software supplier, Industry Automation optimizes the entire value-added chain of manufacturers – from product design and development to production, sales, and a wide range of maintenance services.
挑战
Siemens Industry Automation was tasked with providing a scalable solution for the automation of batch processes in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food & beverage industry. The solution needed to ensure high product quality, production performance over time, complete traceability of production, quick response to market conditions, and efficient use of production equipment. The challenge was to find a database technology that would optimally match the requirements of the SIMATIC® BATCH program design, which provides an object-oriented view on models, procedures, and recipes for comprehensive batch processes. The system needed to be stable, performant, and capable of handling large database files up to double-digit Gigabytes in size. It also needed to provide fast and reliable real-time access to prevent any significant delay, failure, or shutdown that could potentially affect product quantity and quality.
解决方案
Siemens chose to use Versant object databases to manage the applications comprehensive object models, providing real-time capability, 24/7 availability, and flexible scalability for optimal system adaption to plant size and individual requirements. The database also provides the necessary tools such as redundant replication and automatic schema versioning to support software updates while the system is up and running. The Versant object database's reliability, its capability to replicate with redundant servers, and its ability to automatically update the database schema during replication after a software update on the redundant server, which might include data model changes, made it an ideal choice for this application.

Case Study: Pfizer
Pfizer’s high-performance computing software and systems for worldwide research and development support large-scale data analysis, research projects, clinical analytics, and modeling. Pfizer’s computing services are used across the spectrum of research and development efforts, from the deep biological understanding of disease to the design of safe, efficacious therapeutic agents.
Case Study
The Kellogg Company
Kellogg keeps a close eye on its trade spend, analyzing large volumes of data and running complex simulations to predict which promotional activities will be the most effective. Kellogg needed to decrease the trade spend but its traditional relational database on premises could not keep up with the pace of demand.

Honeywell - Tata Chemicals Improves Data Accessibility with OneWireless
Tata was facing data accessibility challenges in the cement plant control room tapping signals from remote process control areas and other distant locations, including the gas scrubber. Tata needed a wireless solution to extend its control network securely to remote locations that would also provide seamless communication with existing control applications.
Case Study
HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Advanced Elastomer Systems Upgrades Production
In order to maintain its share of the international market for thermoplastic elastomers AES recently expanded its Florida plant by adding a new production line. While the existing lines were operating satisfactorily using a PROVOX distributed control system with traditional analog I/O, AES wanted advanced technology on the new line for greater economy, efficiency, and reliability. AES officials were anxious to get this line into production to meet incoming orders, but two hurricanes slowed construction.

Energy Management System at Sugar Industry
The company wanted to use the information from the system to claim under the renewable energy certificate scheme. The benefit to the company under the renewable energy certificates is Rs 75 million a year. To enable the above, an end-to-end solution for load monitoring, consumption monitoring, online data monitoring, automatic meter data acquisition which can be exported to SAP and other applications is required.
