The Challenge
Cyberlogic Technologies, Inc. is a leading independent supplier of industrial communication drivers and servers. They have introduced many firsts, including the first 32-bit communication drivers for Windows platforms, first virtual drivers to migrate legacy applications to 32-bit operating systems and the first remote drivers to enable access to industrial networks from plant networks. A recent deployment was for a large soft drink bottling company that needed traceability to track the ingredients to the original source. From a code stamped on the outside of the bottle one can quickly trace what batch of syrup was used and where the cap, bottle, and water came from. A report can then be generated that shows where other finished products that contain any of the source ingredients were shipped.
About The Customer
Cyberlogic Technologies, Inc. is a leading independent supplier of industrial communication drivers and servers. Since 1992, the company has introduced many firsts, including the first 32-bit communication drivers for Windows platforms, first virtual drivers to migrate legacy applications to 32-bit operating systems and the first remote drivers to enable access to industrial networks from plant networks. Cyberlogic’s New Enterprise Information System for traceability is based on GENESIS32™ visualization software and ReportWorX™ from ICONICS. The company is based in Troy, MI.
The Solution
Cyberlogic’s Enterprise Information System is used to trace all source materials for a finished product and it is capable of mating the traceability information onto the outgoing products for use further down the supply chain. The system uses GraphWorX™32, the visualization component for GENESIS32, as the main interface into the system. ReportWorX™ is also used to provide production shift reports, downtime analysis and tractability reports. The Enterprise Information System includes a Web-based visualization interface that is based on WebHMI™. The Enterprise Information System runs on Microsoft Windows 2000. Data is collected via OPC servers into GENESIS32 for visualization and analysis. The data repository is handled by a Microsoft SQL database that ReportWorX can data mine, GENESIS32, SQL, and the OPC servers. OPC connectivity to the plant floor is provided via Cyberlogic’s OPC servers that are dynamically linked to the ICONICS GENESIS32 system.

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.

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.

Coca Cola Swaziland Conco Case Study
Coco Cola Swaziland, South Africa would like to find a solution that would enable the following results: - Reduce energy consumption by 20% in one year. - Formulate a series of strategic initiatives that would enlist the commitment of corporate management and create employee awareness while helping meet departmental targets and investing in tools that assist with energy management. - Formulate a series of tactical initiatives that would optimize energy usage on the shop floor. These would include charging forklifts and running cold rooms only during off-peak periods, running the dust extractors only during working hours and basing lights and air-conditioning on someone’s presence. - Increase visibility into the factory and other processes. - Enable limited, non-intrusive control functions for certain processes.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.

Coca-Cola Refreshments, U.S.
Coca-Cola Refreshments owns and manages Coca-Cola branded refrigerators in retail establishments.
