挑战
Each individual case is unique; there are many levels and layers and myriad possibilities in an investigation. Many times, multiple individuals must be tracked using only one Social Security number. Individuals at times do not want to be found, and investigations where an individual owes money are even more challenging. Sometimes, delinquent individuals are not even aware of the fact that they owe money. In other instances, the agency is holding money in escrow and the person or family to whom it is owed—the custodial mother in most cases—has moved and needs to be located. In other cases, a welfare differential needs to be reconciled with another state where laws may have changed and money is owed to a family. Verification does not end with address data; when large sums of money are involved, investigators need to speak with an individual in order to prevent fraud. This entails finding valid phone numbers or physical visits. Also, improper verifications can result in misidentifications of innocent people, and can have serious ramifications for the Department as well as the subjects, who may have papers served on them or may be arrested. No matter what the activity, the focus is on what is in the best interest of the children the Department serves.
关于客户
The Monterey County Department of Child Support Services in California is responsible for providing service to over 425,000 citizens for a wide range of custodial and financial issues relating to children and families, including establishing, modifying and enforcing court orders to pay child support; collection and distribution of child and spousal support payments; locating absent parents; establishing paternity; and establishing and enforcing medical support and family support orders. The agency also examines accounts and generates reports when it finds money that needs to be disbursed, often resulting in payments to people whose cases have long since been closed. The Monterey Co. Dept. of Child Support Services serves a middle class to upper middle class demographic as well as a large migrant population.
解决方案
The Child Support Services Department has been receiving less funding, but is still required to operate an efficient and effective organization and follow complex federal and state regulations that impact the infrastructure of the organization. With such complex needs, LexisNexis® Accurint® for Government is involved in all investigations. “It’s the core. It is home base,” according to Cassondra Simon, lead child support officer with Monterey County. Accurint offers “different modules and layers, and is usable on a lot of levels.” She continues, “The bottom line is about the kids, and locating parents and their information is critical to getting money to these kids—that’s why I appreciate this product: it helps me do my job better.”

Case Study
IoT Applications and Upgrades in Textile Plant
At any given time, the textile company’s manufacturing facility has up to 2,000 textile carts in use. These carts are pushed from room to room, carrying materials or semi-finished products. Previously, a paper with a hand-written description was attached to each cart. This traditional method of processing made product tracking extremely difficult. Additionally, making sure that every cart of materials or semi-finished products went to its correct processing work station was also a problem. Therefore, the company desired an intelligent solution for tracking assets at their factories. They also wanted a solution that would help them collect process data so they could improve their manufacturing efficiency.

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.

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.
