挑战
SPP Pumps 拥有完全手动的流程，每天为 30 多名现场工程师管理和安排 60 多个现场服务电话。发票生成流程通常需要 14 天才能完成。它涉及纸质表格；签名后再传真回办公室。行政人员必须手动将工单信息输入 SAP，然后才能生成发票并发送给客户付款。无法保证传真和输入的内容准确或完整。
关于客户
SPP Pumps Limited 是一家全球泵系统制造商和服务提供商。他们在各大洲都安装了泵，用于输送水、油和污水。因此，服务是 SPP Pump 业务的重要组成部分。对于 SPP Pumps 来说，照常营业意味着服务团队被文书工作所困扰，销售人员对客户和库存的了解有限。随着 SPP Pumps 的不断发展，他们知道他们的纸质流程无法扩展以支持收入增长。SPP Pumps 通过训练有素的工程师网络为客户提供计划维护、补救和紧急故障/修复服务，这些工程师可以升级、增强或彻底检修公司的泵以及客户安装的任何其他泵。
解决方案
为了优化 IT 投资并改善服务现金流，他们将 ServiceMax 与后台 SAP ERP 系统集成。现在，借助 ServiceMax，SPP Pumps 简化了调度和工单管理流程。他们使用 Jitterbit 将 SAP 订单管理、帐户和服务订单记录连接到 ServiceMax。他们能够在几天内连接这两个系统，并在几周内完成集成过程。

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

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.
Case Study
Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.
