挑战
In order to enable the mobile device users, SNCF had to ensure that the devices and the sensitive data they contained were protected. Device loss or theft could result in commercially sensitive data being released to the public. It was therefore necessary for the IT department of the Technicentre to find a solution that could protect their mobile devices and the data they contain whilst being able to withstand hard drive reformatting and operating system reinstallations.
关于客户
An Industrial Centre of Excellence, the SNCF Technicentre in Nevers, France specialises in the renovation of TER (Regional Express Train) equipment. Its size and activity make this Technicentre, which employs nearly 1,000 people, one of the most important in the national territory. Its IT equipment consists of 600 devices nearly half of which are laptops. SNCF had a number of laptops that were used on the road or for troubleshooting situations. These devices often contain confidential and commercially sensitive data such as proprietary information about materials, studies, or engineering.
解决方案
Jeremy Verrier, IT Manager at the SNCF Technicentre in Nevers, was introduced to Absolute at an industry forum and learned about its endpoint security solutions. Interested in powerful Persistence® technology by Absolute, Verrier decided to install the solution on all new device deployments at the Technicentre in Nevers. Today, it has been deployed to around 150 devices and installation continues as new devices are rolled out. Persistence technology ensures that the Absolute software agent is never removed. The software can survive reinstallation of the operating system, device reformatting, or a hard drive replacement. This means that IT has a constant connection to every device in its deployment, regardless of user or location. The agent itself is virtually undetectable and emits a silent signal to the Absolute Monitoring Centre, which collects information points about the device such as location, user, hardware and software status. IT Administrators can also remotely delete data, recover files and freeze the device, preventing data from falling into the wrong hands. Ease of installation and administration coupled with an affordable license model were also key factors in the decision to install the solution. Another advantage was the ability to deploy Absolute on all types of device models even if the manufacturers are different – this is particularly useful for the Technicentre, which often has to refresh devices.

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.

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.”
