挑战
Romac Industries, a leading manufacturer of pipe products and tools for the waterworks industry, was facing challenges with its legacy multivendor IT environment. The existing infrastructure, a mix of servers and storage arrays from Dell and EMC, had become too expensive and complex to administer, maintain and scale. The company's inefficient tape-based backup and recovery tools posed a risk of hardware failures or disasters disrupting revenue-critical applications for hours or days. Russell Turley, IT Manager for Romac, initiated a technology refresh program to improve the performance and reliability of the company’s IT systems.

Romac Industries is a leading manufacturer of pipe products and tools for the waterworks industry. The company was dealing with a legacy multivendor IT environment that had become too expensive and complex to administer, maintain, and scale. The existing infrastructure was a mix of servers and storage arrays from Dell and EMC. The company's inefficient tape-based backup and recovery tools posed a risk of hardware failures or disasters disrupting revenue-critical applications for hours or days. The company needed a solution that would improve the performance and reliability of its IT systems.
解决方案
Romac Industries selected SimpliVity hyperconverged infrastructure for its next-generation IT implementation. SimpliVity provides a scalable, modular, 2U building block of x86 resources that offers all the functionality of traditional IT infrastructure in one device, with a unified administrative interface. Romac deployed five SimpliVity nodes in its primary data center, replacing four racks of legacy equipment. A fully redundant configuration ensures continuous availability in the event of hardware failures. Four additional SimpliVity nodes are installed in a remote data center for rapid disaster recovery. SimpliVity’s real-time deduplication, compression and optimization technologies deliver breakthrough performance and data efficiency.

Case Study
Remote Monitoring & Predictive Maintenance App for a Solar Energy System
The maintenance & tracking of various modules was an overhead for the customer due to the huge labor costs involved. Being an advanced solar solutions provider, they wanted to ensure early detection of issues and provide the best-in-class customer experience. Hence they wanted to automate the whole process.
Case Study
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.

Aircraft Predictive Maintenance and Workflow Optimization
First, aircraft manufacturer have trouble monitoring the health of aircraft systems with health prognostics and deliver predictive maintenance insights. Second, aircraft manufacturer wants a solution that can provide an in-context advisory and align job assignments to match technician experience and expertise.
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).
