挑战
nVision Global, a leading provider of services for freight bill auditing and payment, logistics management, and claims processing, was looking to implement sophisticated analytics that incorporate interactive graphs and map-based reports. The goal was to provide customers with detailed information on shipping routes, rates, logistics, and carrier contracts. The company wanted to create a secure, web-based dashboard that lets customers view their logistics information online through a SaaS model. However, the existing reporting was limited and required extensive staff support. nVision wanted to take these services to the next level and make clients self-sufficient by adding more analytical functionality, better drill-down capabilities, and a more elegant user experience.

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.
