挑战
The Concord Fire Department in Massachusetts was facing a challenge in managing its policies and procedures for various emergencies. The department had a need for a better system to manage these documents and ensure that all department employees were aware of the content of these policies and procedures. Additionally, the department needed to standardize its operating procedures. With four different groups at two stations, there were up to eight different ways of operating at a particular emergency scene. This lack of standardization was causing confusion and inefficiency during emergency responses.
关于客户
The Concord Fire Department is a government organization based in Massachusetts, United States. The department is comprised of 51 employees, including firefighters and IT managers. The department is responsible for responding to various types of emergencies and has policies and procedures in place for each type of emergency they may encounter. The department operates out of two stations and is divided into four different groups. Each group had its own way of operating during an emergency, leading to a lack of standardization and potential confusion during emergency responses.
解决方案
The Concord Fire Department implemented PolicyTech, a policy management solution, to standardize its operations and ensure that all members of the department are on the same page. Whenever a new policy is introduced, every employee receives an email notifying them that they need to review the policy. The department also reviews new policies, policies up for review, and amended documents during a daily morning roll call to ensure that every member knows what is expected of them. The department also upgraded to a hosted solution, which allows them to access policies and procedures from anywhere, not just within the department. This has made it easier for firefighters to reference procedures or chains of notification during emergencies.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.
