The Challenge
The Saybrook Point Inn, Marina & Spa faced the challenge of maintaining high-quality guest services while managing a variety of amenities and facilities. The property needed a solution that could streamline operations, improve efficiency, and enhance the overall guest experience. The management team sought to integrate technology that would allow for seamless service delivery across different areas, including the Marina Bar, poolside, and dining areas. Additionally, they required a system that could handle front office operations, guest history, housekeeping, and reservations management without causing disruptions or requiring intrusive communication methods.
About The Customer
The Saybrook Point Inn, Marina & Spa is a luxury coastal property located in Old Saybrook, Connecticut, where the Connecticut River meets Long Island Sound. The property offers a blend of historic charm and modern amenities, including a spa, health club, indoor and outdoor pools, an onsite marina, and various dining options. The inn features 81 rooms and suites, 14 guest houses, and 7 vacation villas, including a unique Lighthouse Suite. The management team at Saybrook Point is committed to providing exceptional guest experiences and values efficient service delivery across all its facilities.
The Solution
To address these challenges, Saybrook Point Inn implemented several Agilysys solutions. The InfoGenesis® POS system was chosen for its easy-to-use terminal and tablet touchscreen applications, along with its industry-leading offline capabilities. This system was deployed at the Marina Bar and poolside to ensure fast and secure payment processing through the rGuest® Pay gateway. The rGuest® Seat table management system was also implemented to allow servers to manage reservations and table statuses efficiently using mobile tablets. For front office operations, guest history, housekeeping, and reservations management, the property adopted the Visual One® PMS combined with b4checkin. This comprehensive property management system enabled the staff to focus on meeting guest needs and providing exceptional service without the need for intrusive radio communication.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

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.
Case Study
Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.
