挑战
Anglian Water 是英格兰和威尔士最大的水和水回收公司,在管理天气数据方面面临着重大挑战。该公司的运营需要大量的天气数据集来为决策提供信息,但他们所依赖的多个天气数据提供商既复杂又不一致。这导致了数据差异,影响了决策过程并带来了财务和管理挑战。此外,不同的提供商需要以不同的方式收集数据,这在技术上要求很高且耗时。这些问题促使该公司通过更换大部分以前的供应商来简化其运营。
关于客户
Anglian Water 是英格兰和威尔士地理区域最大的水和水回收公司,在英格兰东部占地 27,500 平方公里。该公司的使命是为该地区 700 万人提供安全饮用水,并通过提供有效的废水管理为保护和改善环境做出贡献。该公司每天净化十亿升用过的水,然后将其返回大自然。 Anglian Water 的不懈努力获得了各种奖项的认可,其中包括可持续发展类别的女王企业奖。 2022 年,他们与 Severn Trent 联手制定了 Get River Positive 计划,其中包括保持河流清洁并确保河流繁荣所需的五项承诺。
解决方案
2018 年,Anglian Water 选择 Meteomatics 作为其主要天气数据供应商。 Meteomatics 的天气 API 迅速集成到公司的业务部门中,提供与其现有产品和服务兼容的格式的数据,并满足数据科学团队的需求。 Meteomatics 提供的广泛数据源、历史天气数据和开源连接器使用户能够立即获得见解,以添加到现有的工作流程和数据基础设施中。 Anglian Water 使用这些天气数据来跟踪和预测未来天气事件可能如何影响其关键基础设施。这使他们能够更好地了解哪些资产在某些天气条件下面临最大风险,从而能够采取主动行动来防止污染、泄漏和水质事故等事件。

IoT System for Tunnel Construction
The Zenitaka Corporation ('Zenitaka') has two major business areas: its architectural business focuses on structures such as government buildings, office buildings, and commercial facilities, while its civil engineering business is targeted at structures such as tunnels, bridges and dams. Within these areas, there presented two issues that have always persisted in regard to the construction of mountain tunnels. These issues are 'improving safety" and "reducing energy consumption". Mountain tunnels construction requires a massive amount of electricity. This is because there are many kinds of electrical equipment being used day and night, including construction machinery, construction lighting, and ventilating fan. Despite this, the amount of power consumption is generally not tightly managed. In many cases, the exact amount of power consumption is only ascertained when the bill from the power company becomes available. Sometimes, corporations install demand-monitoring equipment to help curb the maximum power demanded. However, even in these cases, the devices only allow the total volume of power consumption to be ascertained, or they may issue warnings to prevent the contracted volume of power from being exceeded. In order to tackle the issue of reducing power consumption, it was first necessary to obtain an accurate breakdown of how much power was being used in each particular area. In other words, we needed to be able to visualize the amount of power being consumed. Safety, was also not being managed very rigorously. Even now, tunnel construction sites often use a 'name label' system for managing entry into the work site. Specifically, red labels with white reverse sides that bear the workers' names on both sides are displayed at the tunnel work site entrance. The workers themselves then flip the name label to the appropriate side when entering or exiting from the work site to indicate whether or not they are working inside the tunnel at any given time. If a worker forgets to flip his or her name label when entering or exiting from the tunnel, management cannot be performed effectively. In order to tackle the challenges mentioned above, Zenitaka decided to build a system that could improve the safety of tunnel construction as well as reduce the amount of power consumed. In other words, this new system would facilitate a clear picture of which workers were working in each location at the mountain tunnel construction site, as well as which processes were being carried out at those respective locations at any given time. The system would maintain the safety of all workers while also carefully controlling the electrical equipment to reduce unnecessary power consumption. Having decided on the concept, our next concern was whether there existed any kind of robust hardware that would not break down at the construction work site, that could move freely in response to changes in the working environment, and that could accurately detect workers and vehicles using radio frequency identification (RFID). Given that this system would involve many components that were new to Zenitaka, we decided to enlist the cooperation of E.I.Sol Co., Ltd. ('E.I.Sol') as our joint development partner, as they had provided us with a highly practical proposal.
