挑战
NEWLOG Consulting 的一位客户希望在一个月内推出一套新的跟踪和追踪系统。客户希望通过转型成为一家提供增值物流服务的成熟快递公司，进军新市场。客户希望尽快将新解决方案推向市场，并设定了一个目标，即在一个月内推出初始版本。由于没有时间或预算采用传统的开发方法，NEWLOG Consulting 需要一个可以用来快速开发和部署新系统的平台。
关于客户
NEWLOG Consulting 总部位于意大利蒙扎，是一家软件开发和咨询公司。该公司专门为工业部门开发先进的物流和配送系统。随着供应链变得越来越全球化和复杂，涉及多个接触点和承运商，在整个运输过程中跟踪产品变得至关重要。如果公司无法准确了解单个物品的位置，则可能导致延误或错误，从而导致成本增加、错过最后期限和客户满意度下降。
解决方案
为了推动客户所要求的快速部署，NEWLOG Consulting 求助于 IBM Cloud Data Services，该服务在 IBM Bluemix® 云平台上提供完全托管的数据和分析服务。NEWLOG Consulting 利用一系列开源技术、工具和服务（按使用量付费），成功交付了跟踪和追踪系统的初始版本。跟踪和追踪系统使用承运商提供的信息来跟踪货物的位置。根据提供的信息级别，系统可以提供详细的跟踪，直至单个项目级别。使用 IBM Bluemix 数据库服务上的 Cloudant®，客户可以存储来自物流承运商外部系统的所有传入信息，包括单个运输项目的扩展描述。

IoT Applications and Upgrades in Textile Plant
At any given time, the textile company’s manufacturing facility has up to 2,000 textile carts in use. These carts are pushed from room to room, carrying materials or semi-finished products. Previously, a paper with a hand-written description was attached to each cart. This traditional method of processing made product tracking extremely difficult. Additionally, making sure that every cart of materials or semi-finished products went to its correct processing work station was also a problem. Therefore, the company desired an intelligent solution for tracking assets at their factories. They also wanted a solution that would help them collect process data so they could improve their manufacturing efficiency.

Remote Temperature Monitoring of Perishable Goods Saves Money
RMONI was facing temperature monitoring challenges in a cold chain business. A cold chain must be established and maintained to ensure goods have been properly refrigerated during every step of the process, making temperature monitoring a critical business function. Manual registration practice can be very costly, labor intensive and prone to mistakes.

Buoy Status Monitoring with LoRa
The Netherlands are well-known for their inland waterways, canals, sluices and of course port activities. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure indicates that there are thousands of buoys and fixed items in and near water environments that would profit from IoT monitoring. One of the problems with buoys for example, is that they get hit by ships and the anchor cable breaks. Without connectivity, it takes quite some time to find out that something has happened with that buoy. Not to mention the costs of renting a boat to go to the buoy to fix it. Another important issue, is that there is no real-time monitoring of the buoys at this moment. Only by physically visiting the object on the water, one gains insight in its status.

IoT Based Asset Tracking System
The existing system used by the customer could only track a few thousand assets and was able to generate only a few standard set of reports. As the number of assets tracked grew exponentially, the system started to break at the seams. The Tracking devices were from different manufacturers following different protocols. There was no proper integration among the devices to send instant alerts. There are thousands of tracking devices spread across multiple geographies, that are moving. The configuration and troubleshooting of these devices incurred heavy costs, which was a logistics challenge. The existing system did not provide sophisticated Analytics, Business Intelligence and Insights from the data
