挑战
在 Los Pelambres，55 辆小松矿用卡车在铜和其他矿物的开采中发挥着关键作用。这些超大型自卸车用于在不同的加工中心运送铜，以其可靠性而闻名整个行业，并且经常用于偏远和困难的应用。为了最大限度地利用资产，该矿采用了快速加油系统，将加油时间从 25 分钟减少到大约 5 分钟。
这一改进运营的举措伴随着一系列意想不到的问题，抵消了预期目标。具体来说，工厂安装的燃油传感器因压力而破裂。如果没有正常工作的燃油传感器，驾驶员必须猜测何时是加油的正确时间，并且只能估计实际需要将多少燃油添加回油箱。

关于客户
Los Pelambres是位于智利萨拉曼卡的一座铜矿，由 Antofagasta Minerals 部分拥有。该矿是世界第七大铜生产商，位于安第斯山脉海拔 3000 多米的地方。每年有超过 365,000 吨铜通过 50 平方公里的崎岖地形运输。
解决方案
Los Pelambres 选择的解决方案由智利集成商 Tarco LTDA 开发，该公司专门为采矿业开发定制跟踪和监控解决方案。 PCR 1000——Tarco 最先进的远程燃油监控系统——持续监控油箱液位，并使用 ORBCOMM 的 IDP-782 终端将油箱液位数据以及其他车辆远程信息处理数据实时传输回中央应用程序。
由于矿用卡车在偏远地区运行，因此必须使用卫星连接来确保及时和一致地交付数据。 IDP-782 在可用时通过蜂窝网络传输数据，并在蜂窝网络中断时自动切换到卫星数据服务以实现不间断连接。坚固耐用的燃油监测系统能够承受极端环境条件，包括热、冷、水、灰尘、海拔和振动。

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

IoT-based Fleet Intelligence Innovation
Speed to market is precious for DRVR, a rapidly growing start-up company. With a business model dependent on reliable mobile data, managers were spending their lives trying to negotiate data roaming deals with mobile network operators in different countries. And, even then, service quality was a constant concern.

Digitize Railway with Deutsche Bahn
To reduce maintenance costs and delay-causing failures for Deutsche Bahn. They need manual measurements by a position measurement system based on custom-made MEMS sensor clusters, which allow autonomous and continuous monitoring with wireless data transmission and long battery. They were looking for data pre-processing solution in the sensor and machine learning algorithms in the cloud so as to detect critical wear.

Cold Chain Transportation and Refrigerated Fleet Management System
1) Create a digital connected transportation solution to retrofit cold chain trailers with real-time tracking and controls. 2) Prevent multi-million dollar losses due to theft or spoilage. 3) Deliver a digital chain-of-custody solution for door to door load monitoring and security. 4) Provide a trusted multi-fleet solution in a single application with granular data and access controls.
Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
