挑战
BioTrans 是北美实验室研究运输行业领先的物流服务提供商，在保持温度敏感货物的完整性方面面临着重大挑战。该公司运输的研究模型需要在整个交付过程中进行精确的温度控制，只有几度的差异可能会影响负载。每种分类类型还需要特定的温度范围，这增加了物流挑战的复杂性。在实施 Samsara 之前，BioTrans 的质量控制团队只能在有人轮班时每天有效监测 8 小时的温度。在剩下的 16 小时内，司机不会收到超出范围的温度警报，从而导致货物丢失，给 BioTrans 造成 2,000 至 20,000 美元的损失，并损害了客户关系。
关于客户
BioTrans 是北美实验室研究运输行业物流服务的领先提供商。该公司专门为客户运输对温度敏感的货物，例如研究模型。这就需要在整个交付过程中精确控制每辆车货舱的温度。仅仅几度的变化就会对负载的完整性产生重大影响，并且每种分类类型都需要特定的温度范围。 BioTrans 拥有一支由 140 辆卡车组成的车队，在 24 个办事处运营，每年行驶 750 万英里。
解决方案
BioTrans 采用 Samsara 的综合平台，其中包括车辆网关、人工智能行车记录仪、环境监视器 (EM)、门监视器、货物监视器和站点可视性。该平台提供了交付的关键可见性并验证了正确的协议。 BioTrans 在司机应用程序中创建了一个自定义的“车厢报告”图块，允许司机快速上传货物详细信息，包括正在运输的内容及其所需的温度范围。这些数据立即上传并通过电子邮件发送给他们的调度、质量保证和运营部门，从而消除了耗时的电话呼叫的需要。 BioTrans 还构建了一个定制机器人 TempBot，可以自动发出温度警报。 TempBot 读取驾驶员提交的“车厢报告”数据，针对负载的特定温度范围应用正确的警报，并根据 Samsara EM 的实时温度数据触发警报。如果温度超出范围，TempBot 会破译与卡车相关的卡车号码和驾驶员，然后自动通知相应的经理和 QA 部门。

Case Study
Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.
