The Challenge
The Office for Computing, Geography and Statistics of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano manages the entire information system and serves 6,000 workstations. Its main client is the Provincial Statistics Institute, which runs provincial statistics analyses. The Office needed to find a user-friendly tool that presents detailed findings and a system that does not require complex technological infrastructures. They also needed to analyze highly complex data combinations efficiently. The Office conducted a study to find the tool that best suits the Provincial Administration’s environment – an agile, customizable tool that would not require complex technological infrastructure and that guarantees good performance.
About The Customer
The Office for Computing, Geography and Statistics manages the Autonomous Province of Bolzano’s statistical computing system and the Territorial Information System (SIT). The Office operates within the 9th Department of Computing, which manages the Provincial Administration’s entire information system, serving approximately 6,000 workstations. The main client/user of the statistics sector’s Office is the Provincial Statistics Institute (ASTAT), which, due to the Bolzano Province’s autonomous configuration, runs provincial statistics independently while it cooperates with the ISTAT in running national and extra-national statistics. Besides the Provincial Statistics Institute, the Office’s statistics sector provides IT support to users who need to process various statistics in departments belonging to the entire Provincial Administration.
The Solution
Province of Bolzano deployed QlikView to ~170 employees. With QlikView, the Province of Bolzano now analyzes provincial statistics such as traffic data. In addition, QlikView is used to analyze the performance of agencies with metrics such as educational study grants, healthcare mobility and status of social services projects. With QlikView Server (64-bit), Province of Bolzano is able to aggregate volumes of data across systems and provide easy access to this information across the Internet to its key agency constituents. Nearly 70 users are currently active in Client mode, and 100 users are active in Web mode in the provincial intranet. An Internet service has also been set up.

Improving Production Line Efficiency with Ethernet Micro RTU Controller
Moxa was asked to provide a connectivity solution for one of the world's leading cosmetics companies. This multinational corporation, with retail presence in 130 countries, 23 global braches, and over 66,000 employees, sought to improve the efficiency of their production process by migrating from manual monitoring to an automatic productivity monitoring system. The production line was being monitored by ABB Real-TPI, a factory information system that offers data collection and analysis to improve plant efficiency. Due to software limitations, the customer needed an OPC server and a corresponding I/O solution to collect data from additional sensor devices for the Real-TPI system. The goal is to enable the factory information system to more thoroughly collect data from every corner of the production line. This will improve its ability to measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and translate into increased production efficiencies. System Requirements • Instant status updates while still consuming minimal bandwidth to relieve strain on limited factory networks • Interoperable with ABB Real-TPI • Small form factor appropriate for deployment where space is scarce • Remote software management and configuration to simplify operations
