挑战
Carolina Precision Manufacturing 的总裁 Gary Bruner 遇到了一个问题，该公司是一家专门生产小直径、精密公差 CNC 瑞士车削零件的合同制造商。那天早上早餐时，加里在家中的笔记本电脑上登录 MachineMetrics 监控系统，检查分配给熄灯操作的机器的状态，但立即发现他的两台机器没有生产。 “机器 35 和 36 怎么了？”他心想。到达商店后，加里从值班操作员那里得知，这种类型的滞留并没有什么不寻常的，实际上是低效启动程序的产物，以前根本没有分析或增强过。在一个利润微薄的行业，加里明白增长和成功的关键在于效率和质量。他了解密切关注生产统计数据、工作状态、正常运行时间和设置的重要性。但是，无法实时了解机器的运行情况。是什么导致了这种额外的停机时间？此外，CPM 目前的测量和数据收集方法不仅耗时，而且很快就过时了。从历史上看，CPM 有一名专门负责收集利用率数据的员工。该员工会走到每台机器前，收集后期制作的废票，与操作员交谈，并将昨天的数据记录到他们当前的 ERP 系统中；更不用说这种手动数据收集容易出错，每天需要花费 2 个小时以上。如果没有可视化结果的能力，记录的数据就不是很可操作。
客户
卡罗来纳精密制造
关于客户
Carolina Precision Manufacturing 专门从事小直径紧公差车削零件的瑞士式加工。我们总部位于北卡罗来纳州的穆尔斯维尔，致力于为我们运送的每个订单提供可靠、准时的无缺陷零件。
解决方案
CPM 在他的所有 36 台 Marubeni Citizen-Cincom CNC 车床上安装了新的机器监控软件 MachineMetrics。虽然 Gary 和团队仍在适应监控系统以及如何最好地使用它收集、分析和报告的数据，但 MachineMetrics 的优势立即变得显而易见。 MachineMetrics Dashboards 安装在整个车间的电视上，每台机器上都安装了平板电脑，以供操作员反馈。如果某项工作落后于生产目标，磁贴的颜色会发生变化，并向经理发送文本通知，这样就可以立即采取行动，而不是等待第二天或下周。

Smart Water Filtration Systems
Before working with Ayla Networks, Ozner was already using cloud connectivity to identify and solve water-filtration system malfunctions as well as to monitor filter cartridges for replacements.But, in June 2015, Ozner executives talked with Ayla about how the company might further improve its water systems with IoT technology. They liked what they heard from Ayla, but the executives needed to be sure that Ayla’s Agile IoT Platform provided the security and reliability Ozner required.

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.
