挑战
阿拉瓦克港发展公司 (APD) 是巴哈马政府及其公民的重要企业,所有国际海运货物都通过拿骚集装箱港的舱壁运输。2012 年上市后,APD 需要开始制作一系列财务报表,以满足巴哈马证券委员会的季度和年度申报要求,向外部审计师提供足够的信息,并使 APD 董事会能够更好地管理组织的发展。APD 的首席财务官 Dion Bethell 也希望提高其规划的详细程度,同时让管理团队不再为发生可能性较低的项目编制预算。由于 APD 是巴哈马国家的重要经济枢纽,因此不容有任何差错。
关于客户
阿拉瓦克港务开发公司 (APD) 位于美丽的巴哈马群岛,成立于 2009 年,旨在通过将商业航运公司迁至几英里外的阿拉瓦克岛,让拿骚市中心焕然一新。随着这一举措的实施,APD 借此机会简化了装运和海关处理流程,并被佛罗里达船东集团评为该地区 24 个港口中生产力最高的港口,这对审计师来说也是一种激励,也使 APD 董事会能够更好地管理组织的发展。APD 是巴哈马政府及其公民的重要企业,所有海运货物都经过拿骚集装箱港 (NCP) 的舱壁。2012 年,APD 与巴哈马政府以公私合作的方式加入巴哈马国际证券交易所,首次公开募股筹集了 1000 万巴哈马元(美元与巴哈马元等值),并史无前例地将其 20% 的股份专门提供给巴哈马公民。
解决方案
APD 的 Sage ERP 系统的软件安装程序建议 Bethell 了解 Centage 及其强大的报告和分析功能,以满足他的预算和财务报告需求。经过仔细考虑,Bethell 发现 Centage 的解决方案可以满足 APD 现在所需的监督程度,同时还可以节省团队的时间和精力。Bethell 在试运行中将当前年度的预算加载到解决方案中,以确保他们能够在财政年度结束时高效地结账。APD 本质上是一家初创公司,Bethell 能够轻松加载所有前几年的实际数据,而不会丢失数据。Centage 的驱动主导预算是创建可操作预算的关键要素,该预算可以在非常详细的层面上进行管理。

Mitsubishi Electric's Edge Computing Solution Powered by Wind River VxWorks
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, a global leader in factory automation (FA) applications, identified edge computing as a critical component of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The company aimed to enhance device and data security, reduce data traffic to the cloud, and enable faster response to network or device issues. In 2018, Mitsubishi Electric launched its first line of industrial hardware products designed for edge computing, the MELIPC Series. The primary development goals for MELIPC were to support the type of edge computing promoted by Mitsubishi Electric and to introduce advanced vision technology for device control. The flagship computer of the MELIPC line, the MI5000, was designed to combine real-time equipment control with high-speed data collection, processing, diagnosis, and feedback in a single machine. However, the development team needed a real-time control platform that could seamlessly integrate real-time control with proven analytic and diagnostic applications.
