挑战
阿克苏诺贝尔是荷兰油漆和涂料的领导者，在提高其位于意大利科莫的工厂的性能和生产力方面面临着挑战。该公司使用传统方法监控粉末涂料制造所涉及的机器性能，其中包括每 15 分钟用纸笔手动记录一次数据。这种方法不仅耗时，而且在提供实时数据方面效率低下。该公司还面临工厂车间操作员的抵制，尤其是年长的操作员，他们对新技术的引入及其给他们的工作方法带来的变化感到担忧。该公司需要一种解决方案，不仅能够改进数据收集和分析，而且能够方便各个年龄段的操作员使用。
关于客户
阿克苏诺贝尔是荷兰油漆和涂料领域的领导者，业务遍及 100 多个国家。该公司以其多乐士 (Dulux) 和 Polyfilla 等产品而闻名。其企业规模超过10,000名员工。该公司总部位于荷兰，在多个地点设有工厂，包括意大利科莫。阿克苏诺贝尔致力于改进其流程并获得对其运营的更多控制。该公司还专注于数字化转型，热衷于利用数字技术重塑其全球运营方式。
解决方案
阿克苏诺贝尔实施了 Azure IoT 技术，以数字方式实时捕获数据。该公司推出了使用工业物联网 (IIoT) 和 Microsoft Azure 的数字性能门户解决方案。该解决方案旨在用户友好，让每个人都可以使用它，无论其技术专业水平如何。该公司还采取了云优先战略，并选择 Azure 作为其首选平台。 Azure 平台上的 IIoT 解决方案使该公司不仅可以比较单个工厂内的机器性能，还可以即时比较世界各地不同工厂和地点的机器性能。这为该公司提供了其运营的完整情况，使其能够确定多个业务层面的绩效提升领域。该公司还计划应用先进的分析和人工智能 (AI)，以更先进的方式在全球范围内利用其数据。

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.
