挑战
Anglian Water 是一家为东安格利亚和哈特尔普尔超过 600 万客户提供水和水回收服务的公司，致力于有效管理和节约水资源。作为“爱护每一滴水”承诺的一部分，该公司旨在提高客户对水的珍贵性的认识。他们战略的一个关键部分是到 2030 年在整个地区实施智能计量计划。然而，该公司面临着处理和保护将产生的大量客户数据的挑战。他们需要一种技术解决方案，不仅可以保护客户数据，还可以提供计算和分析功能来处理所涉及的大量数据。
关于客户
Anglian Water 是一家总部位于英国的大型组织，为东安格利亚和哈特尔普尔超过 600 万客户提供服务。该公司提供水和水回收服务。作为节约用水承诺的一部分，该公司发起了“爱护每一滴”倡议，旨在有效管理供水并提高客户对水价值的认识。该计划的一个关键部分是到 2030 年在整个地区实施智能计量计划。该公司致力于利用技术来保护客户数据，并处理其运营中涉及的大量数据。
解决方案
Anglian Water 求助于 Microsoft Azure 来解决他们的挑战。他们使用 Microsoft Azure Data Lake 和 Azure Data Factory 管道等工具来创建更强大的系统。自 2018 年开始进行的智能电表试验取得了早期成功，家庭需求减少了 11%。这是通过识别客户侧泄漏的能力以及客户在开始更好地了解自己的用水情况时调整自己的行为而实现的。除了客户端智能计量之外，Anglian Water 还使用数据湖对其网络进行监控和分析。他们使用 Microsoft Azure 中的人工智能工具来了解水库在不同条件下的行为，包括一天中的时间、季节性和气象条件。

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.
