挑战
麦格纳斯太尔是一家领先的 OEM 独立品牌工程和制造合作伙伴，面临着工作流程自动化的挑战。多年来，该公司引入了十多个不同的自动化流程，几乎涉及其业务的每个部分。这些流程由不同的商业和定制软件包的组合支持。虽然这些自动化流程一直在很好地支持业务，但现在是转向单一工作流程技术的时候了。该公司需要一个工作流程自动化解决方案，可以逐步取代和增强其现有的自动化流程，并创建新的业务工作流程。
关于客户
麦格纳斯太尔是世界领先的 OEM 独立品牌工程和制造合作伙伴，拥有 100 多年的汽车生产经验。该公司提供广泛的服务，包括工程服务、车辆合同制造和创新燃油系统。它拥有超过 159,000 名员工，生产了超过 370 万辆汽车，代表 29 种不同的车型。麦格纳斯太尔的产品应用于当今大多数车辆上，来自 27 个国家的 347 个制造工厂和 94 个产品开发、工程和销售中心。
解决方案
经过竞争性审查过程后，麦格纳斯泰尔决定对 K2 软件进行工作流程自动化标准化。这使得公司的 IT 团队能够花更少的时间来管理和维护工作流程，并更多地专注于开发新的解决方案。第一个实施的工作流程是公司的变更管理流程。现在，每当对汽车零部件的设计或生产阶段提出修改时，都会自动启动变更请求工作流程。另一个节省时间的工作流程简化了公司的订单管理流程。麦格纳斯太尔还使用 K2 Software 创建了一个名为 Free Flow 的灵活工作流程生成引擎，该引擎允许员工临时设计和启动自己的自动化流程。

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.
