挑战
这家澳大利亚能源公司是一家受人尊敬的综合煤炭和天然气公司,其业务流程面临着重大挑战。其中大量流程涉及纸质表格的填写和批准,导致延误和效率低下。该公司迫切需要更敏捷的流程来消除这些延迟。流程的手动执行导致完成率延迟、生产力降低、流程状态数据存储不一致、手动数据输入引入错误以及状态报告问题。该公司意识到,工作流程数字化和合并表单不仅可以缩短流程完成时间,还可以提高整个公司的生产力。
关于客户
本案例研究中的客户是一家在澳大利亚证券交易所上市的能源公司。该公司是一家备受推崇的综合性煤炭和天然气公司,按成本、按时、安全、可持续地交付世界一流的煤层气制液化天然气项目。该公司有大量涉及纸质表格的完成和批准的业务流程。这些流程导致了延误和效率低下,导致该公司寻求更敏捷、数字化的解决方案。该公司的目标是提高生产率并缩短流程完成时间。
解决方案
该公司决定为各个部门的流程部署 40 多个端到端自动化解决方案。他们选择研究流程自动化选项来增强 SharePoint 实施。与 Microsoft InfoPath 和 SharePoint 工作流程相比,这些解决方案需要快速开发,并且需要更少的管理和支持工作。他们还希望软件能够提供开箱即用的功能,例如升级和委派。选择 K2 软件是因为它能够满足公司的所有需求。在前六个月中,他们开发了 26 个解决方案,现在已扩展到 40 多个。这些解决方案的范围从简单的表单(通过与业务线 (LOB) 系统集成来填充数据字段)到更复杂的流程(例如培训申请和培训申请)。承包商入职需要人际互动。

Taking Oil and Gas Exploration to the Next Level
DownUnder GeoSolutions (DUG) wanted to increase computing performance by 5 to 10 times to improve seismic processing. The solution must build on current architecture software investments without sacrificing existing software and scale computing without scaling IT infrastructure costs.
Case Study
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.

Refinery Saves Over $700,000 with Smart Wireless
One of the largest petroleum refineries in the world is equipped to refine various types of crude oil and manufacture various grades of fuel from motor gasoline to Aviation Turbine Fuel. Due to wear and tear, eight hydrogen valves in each refinery were leaking, and each cost $1800 per ton of hydrogen vented. The plant also had leakage on nearly 30 flare control hydrocarbon valves. The refinery wanted a continuous, online monitoring system that could catch leaks early, minimize hydrogen and hydrocarbon production losses, and improve safety for maintenance.
