挑战
Trackerando, a company specializing in tailored GPS and IoT solutions, was tasked with developing a high-end GPS tracking solution for high-performance sports cars and vintage cars. The challenge was to provide 24/7 tracking across Europe with reliable connectivity. The solution had to meet rigorous insurance requirements for these high-value vehicles and cater to specific customer wishes regarding the alarm function. The main issue was that once these high-priced collector items left the showroom and were taken out on the road, insurance companies designated them as “not insurable.“ The objective was to find a service provider who had the hardware and software to offer cross-border GPS tracking and a reliable alarm function.
关于客户
Trackerando is a young company that specializes in providing tailored GPS and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for medium-sized companies. The company operates in German-speaking countries, including Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Since its establishment in 2015 by General Manager Bodo Erken, Trackerando has grown to become one of the leading suppliers of real-time tracking functionality in these regions. The company's client for this case study is Heinz Schmersal, the senior managing partner of the Schmersal Group, which specializes in security technology. Schmersal is also a car enthusiast and race driver, who owns a collection of valuable vintage and sports cars.
解决方案
Trackerando used Software AG’s open IoT platform, Cumulocity IoT, to develop a flexible, tailored solution for its client. The platform receives and processes the data from the GPS tracker and visualizes it in a clear and user-friendly manner via a dashboard. The location of the individual vehicles is shown in real time on a map, and if vibrations or towing are detected, an alarm is automatically sent to the owner—via SMS, email or telephone. In addition, in case of an emergency, the authorities can be contacted immediately. To ensure reliable connectivity and seamless tracking, Trackerando partnered with A1 Digital, which provided M2M SIM cards that were built into the GPS tracker. These SIM cards ensure global network coverage in more than 150 countries and offer national roaming.

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).
Case Study
Monitoring of Pressure Pumps in Automotive Industry
A large German/American producer of auto parts uses high-pressure pumps to deburr machined parts as a part of its production and quality check process. They decided to monitor these pumps to make sure they work properly and that they can see any indications leading to a potential failure before it affects their process.
