The Challenge
King, a leading mobile gaming company, was facing challenges in managing business incidents in real time. The company's most popular franchise, Candy Crush, along with 17 other games, were in production. The incident management team, responsible for investigating incidents and assessing the losses incurred, needed a tool to detect and address these incidents promptly. The goal was to minimize the impact on revenue by spotting incidents as soon as possible. The team was also tasked with monitoring 18 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for each game, which amounted to a significant number of metrics. The challenge was not only to monitor these metrics but also to differentiate them based on the platform, build, and country. The existing tools were not sufficient for this task, as they were not adept at detecting subtle anomalies in business KPIs.
About The Customer
King is a leading interactive entertainment company for the mobile world. It is best known for its globally popular game, Candy Crush. Apart from Candy Crush, King has 17 other games in production, including the Bubble Witch franchise, Farm, Pet Rescue, and other minor games. Lukasz Korbolewski, the product owner for business intelligence at King, leads the incident management team. The team is responsible for investigating incidents, assessing the losses incurred, and using data to find the root cause of these incidents. The team's primary goal is to minimize the impact of these incidents on revenue.
The Solution
King adopted Anodot's AI Analytics to proactively address business incidents. Anodot's tool helped King minimize the average time to detect incidents and provided accurate alerting on anomalies. The tool was capable of monitoring a large number of metrics and differentiating them based on various dimensions. It was also efficient in dealing with false positives, a crucial factor for King to avoid unnecessary alerts. Anodot's interface allowed the implementation of business logic for differentiating between an incident and an anomaly using simple settings. The tool was not only used for basic metrics like game starts and ends and transactions but was also expanded to monitor more complex metrics. With Anodot, King was able to decrease the time to detect incidents significantly and implement real-time anomaly detection.

Greenhouse Intelligent Monitoring and Control Solution
Farming Orchids is the most successful form of precision farming in Taiwan, and also the most exported flower. Orchids need a specific temperature and humidity conditions to grow and bloom, and its flowering time may not be in line with market demands, so the price collapses when there is overproduction. Therefore, some farmers began to import automated greenhouse control systems for breeding and forcing, which not only improves quality, but also effectively controls the production period and yield to ensure revenue. In 2012, an orchid farmer built a Forcing Greenhouse of about 200 pings (approximately 661 Square Meters) in Tainan, Taiwan. The system integrator adopted Advantech’s APAX-5000 series programmable automation controllers to build the control platform, coupled with Advantech WebAccess HMI/SCADA software, to achieve cloud monitoring. The staff of the orchid field can monitor important data anytime via smart phone, iPad, and other handheld devices, and control the growth and flowering conditions. System requirements: In the past, most environmental control systems of orchid greenhouses in Taiwan used PLCs (Programmable Logic Controller) with poorscalability and control, and could not be connected to the Internet formonitoring from the cloud. For advanced database analysis and networking capability, the PC platform must be adopted. Therefore, PAC Systems (Programmable Automation Controller) with both PLC programming capabilities andPC functions is a better choice.The environmental control of the Orchid greenhouse switches on and off devices like fan, shade net, cooling/heat pump, liquid flow control, water-cooling wall etc. It is controlled by a control panel of electric controllers, and is driven by a motor, to adjust the greenhouse temperature, humidity, and other environmental conditions to the set parameters.

Precision beekeeping with wireless temperature monitoring
Honeybees are insects of large economic value and provide a vital service to agriculture by pollinating a variety of crops. In addition, bees provide us with valuable products such as honey, beeswax, propolis, bee venom, etc. Monitoring of honeybee colony health, population, productivity, and environmental conditions affecting the colony health have always been exceedingly difficult tasks in apiculture. Research has shown that even small deviations (by more than 2°C) from the optimal temperatures have a significant influence on the development of the brood and the health of adult bees.
