挑战
The efficient management and day-to-day operation of any airport involves a lot of paperwork. From flight departures and arrivals to security and baggage handling, there is information that needs to be captured and a myriad of forms that must be completed every day. Often the information is double-handled. Field and operational staff fill out a paper form or computer spreadsheet which is subsequently hand delivered or emailed to another staff member so that the data can be keyed into another information system. This may happen several times for a single dataset, not only consuming valuable time but creating multiple opportunities for data to become inaccurate. In early 2012, Ford decided it was time to find a better way of managing data capture and data flows. In place of clipboards and paper forms, she wanted to deploy an enterprise mobile platform that could communicate with all mobile devices and enable access to almost any QAL computer system or file. Her aim was to provide staff with a mobile tool that would allow them to read and update data in key information systems such as Microsoft SharePoint and Finance One.
关于客户
Queensland Airports Limited (QAL) is a 100 per cent Australian owned regional airport specialist. Based in Queensland, the organisation owns and operates Gold Coast, Townsville, Mount Isa and Longreach airports. As part of its portfolio of aviation support businesses, it also owns the Northern Australian Aerospace Centre of Excellence in Townsville, AVIEX (an aircraft maintenance and painting operation) based in Townsville, and Aviation Ground Handling which has a significant presence at five of Queensland’s regional airports. QAL is responsible for the efficient management and day-to-day operation of these airports, which involves a lot of paperwork and data management. The organisation aims to improve its processes and create a safer, more efficient workplace through the deployment of advanced technology solutions.
解决方案
The platform chosen to achieve this was the Blink Mobility Platform, an Australian-developed solution that enables rapid development and deployment of mobile business services. Using the BlinkForms module within the securely hosted platform, Ford planned to develop electronic forms that would enable data to be completed real-time and uploaded directly to the airport’s systems using a variety of commonly available tablets, phones, and laptops. Out of the plethora of possible forms replacement projects, Ford decided to begin with the lost property form. Before the BlinkForms deployment, if a passenger reported a lost item, the QAL Duty Manager and passenger would have to return to the duty manager’s office where a search would be run on the lost property database. With BlinkForms in place, duty managers now simply use an iPad to instantly search the database from anywhere in the airport. The new process removes previous duplicate data entry requirements, minimises disruption to work schedules, and ensures faster customer service as queries are resolved within seconds. The project was judged a complete success and board approval was soon received for additional development. One of the next forms to go from manual to mobile was the Bird Count Register. Every morning, as part of the airport’s environmental management responsibilities, Aviation Security Officers (ASOs) drive onto the tarmac and complete a report noting the type and number of birds that can be observed in the air. Previously, the data had to be written down on a piece of paper and then keyed into the information system. Today ASOs use mobile devices to enter the data directly into SharePoint via BlinkForms.

Case Study
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.

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.”
