挑战
Deschutes Brewery faced a potential $750,000 investment in a redundant chiller to ensure the reliability of their brewing process. To avoid this significant capital expenditure, they needed a way to assess the health of their existing chiller and make informed decisions about its maintenance and operation. The challenge was to find a solution that could provide real-time insights into the chiller's condition and help optimize its usage to extend its lifespan.
关于客户
Deschutes Brewery is one of the largest craft breweries in the United States, known for its innovative brewing techniques and commitment to efficiency. The brewery is focused on maintaining its ability to innovate quickly while operating as efficiently as possible. This requires making smart investment decisions, particularly when it comes to capital-intensive projects. Deschutes Brewery's main brewing facility is a hub of activity, where maintaining equipment health and optimizing processes are critical to their success. The brewery's operations technology team, led by Tim Alexander, plays a crucial role in ensuring that the facility runs smoothly and efficiently.
解决方案
Deschutes Brewery partnered with Samsara to deploy power and vibration monitoring solutions for their existing chiller. By using Samsara's real-time data transmission capabilities, the brewery was able to monitor the chiller's health through stable vibration readings and power usage data. This real-time monitoring provided actionable insights that allowed Deschutes to defer the purchase of a redundant chiller for two years. Additionally, Samsara's alerts and notifications system ensured that the maintenance team would be promptly informed of any early indicators of failure, enabling quick responses to minimize downtime. The ease of installation and integration of Samsara's Industrial Gateway, which communicated directly with the chiller's PLC and the plant historian via an open API, was a significant factor in the decision to partner with Samsara. This seamless integration allowed Deschutes to connect their older infrastructure with minimal overhead and see the data in the cloud, as well as integrate it back into their on-premises systems.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Coca Cola Swaziland Conco Case Study
Coco Cola Swaziland, South Africa would like to find a solution that would enable the following results: - Reduce energy consumption by 20% in one year. - Formulate a series of strategic initiatives that would enlist the commitment of corporate management and create employee awareness while helping meet departmental targets and investing in tools that assist with energy management. - Formulate a series of tactical initiatives that would optimize energy usage on the shop floor. These would include charging forklifts and running cold rooms only during off-peak periods, running the dust extractors only during working hours and basing lights and air-conditioning on someone’s presence. - Increase visibility into the factory and other processes. - Enable limited, non-intrusive control functions for certain processes.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.
