The Challenge
Carrier Global Corporation, a global leader in building and cold chain solutions, was facing challenges with its hybrid infrastructure. The company had recently spun away from a former parent company and was involved in multiple mergers and acquisitions. This resulted in a mix of old and new architectures in their environment, including legacy architectures in their factories that needed to be removed. Carrier was looking to increase visibility into their growing hybrid environment, reduce Mean Time To Repair (MTTR), and proactively monitor their infrastructure through automation to identify and resolve issues as quickly as possible.
About The Customer
Carrier Global Corporation is a leading global provider of healthy, safe and sustainable building and cold chain solutions. The company operates in three major segments including HVAC, Fire & Security, and Refrigeration. Carrier has over 80 brands with a widespread presence across 160 countries. The company has a workforce of 56,000 employees and is involved in multiple mergers and acquisitions. Carrier's infrastructure is a mix of old and new, as they had recently spun away from a former parent company.
The Solution
Carrier partnered with LogicMonitor to implement their unified observability platform, LM Envision. This platform provided Carrier with a single pane of glass view into their large, evolving infrastructure, leading to increased visibility and proactive monitoring to solve issues swiftly. For instance, when Microsoft released a patch that temporarily took out Carrier’s Active Directory environment, they were able to utilize the visibility that LogicMonitor brought to their environment through the out-of-the-box Active Directory dashboard to help gain control faster and stay ahead of the issue. LogicMonitor's built-in dashboards and the ability to create custom, complex data sources were also instrumental in reducing the amount of time they would’ve spent trying to figure out where an issue was occurring.

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).
