挑战
西门子在缩小制造业日益扩大的技能差距方面面临着重大挑战。根据德勤的一项研究,77% 的制造商预计在吸引和留住工人方面会遇到困难,预计到 2030 年将有 210 万个工作岗位空缺。西门子正在积极寻求创新解决方案,以加快培训和再培训。该公司特别致力于通过西门子大学、SIschool 计划和 VR 培训计划为电气学徒、电气承包商和分销商提供资源。然而,提供这些内容的传统渠道,如课堂教学、教科书、视频和虚拟现实,还不够。 Covid-19 大流行扰乱了全球供应链,导致完全组装的货物的交货时间更长,从而使情况进一步复杂化。分销商需要一种更快、更便宜的方式将产品交付给客户。
关于客户
本案例研究中的客户是电气分销商和承包商,他们是西门子产品的最终用户。由于 Covid-19 大流行造成的全球供应链中断,导致完全组装的货物的交货时间延长,这些客户面临着挑战。他们需要一种更快、更便宜的方式将产品交付给客户。分销商已经使用纸质手册组装西门子产品,这一过程非常耗时且需要多名员工。另一方面,承包商正在参加一场比赛,他们必须安装一个大型配电板。他们获得的是传统的纸质说明,这些说明不如数字说明高效或用户友好。
解决方案
西门子与 BILT 合作,为分销商和承包商提供便携式培训平台。这一创新解决方案通过将培训集成到用户的手机中,实现了知识转移和移动性。西门子通过向分销商提供多个组件而不是完全组装的产品来应对供应链中断。然后,分销商可以根据客户的不同需求组装这些组件。 BILT 的数字化工作指令显着缩短了装配时间,允许一名员工单独完成工作。这种方法使安装效率提高了一倍多。西门子还在 IDEAL 全国锦标赛(由电工团队参加的竞赛)中提供了由 BILT 应用程序支持的 3D 指令。下一代电工是习惯于即时访问信息的数字原住民,他们从这种方法中受益匪浅。

Hydro One Leads the Way In Smart Meter Development
In 2010, Ontario’s energy board mandated that time-of-use (TOU) pricing for consumers be available for all consumers on a regulated price plan. To meet this requirement, Hydro One needed to quickly deploy a smart meter and intelligent communications network solution to meet the provincial government’s requirement at a low cost. The network needed to cover Hydro One’s expansive service territory, which has a land mass twice the size of Texas, and its customers live in a mix of urban, rural, and remote areas, some places only accessible by air, rail, boat or snowmobile. Most importantly, the network needed to enable future enterprise-wide business efficiencies, modernization of distribution infrastructure and enhanced customer service. To meet these needs, Hydro One conceptualized an end-to-end solution leveraging open standards and Internet Protocols (IP) at all communication levels. The utility drew upon industry leaders like Trilliant to realize this vision.

Selling more with Whirlpool
Whirlpool wanted to add connectivity to appliances and transform the company's relationship with customers. Traditionally, Whirlpool interaction with customers was limited to purchases made once every ten years. Connected washer and dryers provide exciting new features like remote management of start times and inter-machine communication.

SAS® Analytics for IoT: Smart Grid
Companies face falling revenues, rising infrastructure costs, and increasing risk of outages caused by inconsistent energy production from renewable sources. Less money is coming in as more people and organizations take steps to curb their energy use. Utilities are paying more to maintain and build infrastructure due to increasing complexity, resulting from the rising number of intermittent and variable renewable energy sources connected in the distribution grid.

Enel Secures Italian Power Generation Network
Electric energy operators around the world are working to increase the reliability and cyber resiliency of their systems. This includes Enel, a global power company that manages and monitors the Italian power grid. This grid:• Serves 31 million customers• Has a net installed energy capacity exceeding 31 gigawatts• Includes more than 500 power generation plants,including hydroelectric, thermoelectric, and wind• Is managed and monitored by Enel 24/7/365• Is operated by Terna, the Italian Transmission System Operator (TSO)Enel is responsible for the availability of the grid’s underlying ICS and industrial network. It also manages Regional Control Centers and Interconnection Centers which connect with the TSO. The TSO manages the flow of energy to the grid plus controls and remotely regulates the power generation of power plants, increasing and decreasing power production as required. The complex system of interaction and cooperation between Enel and the TSO has strong security implications as well as operational and business challenges.

IoT based Energy Quality Availability Monitoring Solution
There were several challenges faced:Since this data would be in the public domain, accuracy and authenticity of this data were of paramount importance. It should be able to withstand scrutiny.It is challenging to build an appliance that can withstand a wide range of voltage fluctuations from as low at 90v to as high as 320v. Since the device would be installed in remote locations, its resilience was of paramount importance.The device would have to deal with poor network coverage and have the ability to store and re-transmit data if networks were not available, which is often the case in rural India. The device could store up to 30 days of data.The platform that deals with the data should be readily available and highly reliable and never lose a packet of data.
