挑战
一个面向物联网的高级设计项目向来自不同背景的达姆施塔特工业大学的少数本科生开放。该团队的目标是在学期末开发物联网解决方案。根据他们的个人经验和调查结果——85% 的人忘记在旅行中打包重要的东西——他们决定将物联网应用到旅行世界。借助 ThingWorx 和 PTC University eLearning Libraries，他们开始开发项目理念和范围。
客户
达姆施塔特工业大学
关于客户
TU Darmstadt - 位于德国达姆施塔特 - 注册了 PTC IoT Academic Program 并免费访问 ThingWorx，这是一个应用程序开发平台和支持课程，以帮助将学生的 IoT 想法变为现实。
解决方案
Haag 的学生决定利用物联网技术来证明智能手提箱的概念。他们选择开发一款应用程序，使手提箱能够通过可以读取二维码的扫描仪识别其内容并帮助其主人更好地计划他们的旅行。这个概念基于这样一种假设，即未来服装制造商将用独特的代码标记他们的商品，让智能手提箱能够读取其中的内容并知道缺少什么。该预测得到了项目团队调查的支持，调查发现 75% 的大学生不反对在衣服上贴上 ID 标签。为了展示这些可能性，项目团队创建了一个典型衣橱的数字版本，然后将该数据输入 ThingWorx，并使用物联网平台创建一个混搭，展示他们提议的智能手提箱的功能。 ThingWorx mashup 充当旅行者的库存经理——确保他或她打算打包的所有衣服最终都放在手提箱中。要获得 ThingWorx 8 的免费演示：http://solutions.iotone.com/thingworx

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.

Goldcorp: Internet of Things Enables the Mine of the Future
Goldcorp is committed to responsible mining practices and maintaining maximum safety for its workers. At the same time, the firm is constantly exploring ways to improve the efficiency of its operations, extend the life of its assets, and control costs. Goldcorp needed technology that can maximize production efficiency by tracking all mining operations, keep employees safe with remote operations and monitoring of hazardous work areas and control production costs through better asset and site management.

Buoy Status Monitoring with LoRa
The Netherlands are well-known for their inland waterways, canals, sluices and of course port activities. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure indicates that there are thousands of buoys and fixed items in and near water environments that would profit from IoT monitoring. One of the problems with buoys for example, is that they get hit by ships and the anchor cable breaks. Without connectivity, it takes quite some time to find out that something has happened with that buoy. Not to mention the costs of renting a boat to go to the buoy to fix it. Another important issue, is that there is no real-time monitoring of the buoys at this moment. Only by physically visiting the object on the water, one gains insight in its status.

IoT Based Asset Tracking System
The existing system used by the customer could only track a few thousand assets and was able to generate only a few standard set of reports. As the number of assets tracked grew exponentially, the system started to break at the seams. The Tracking devices were from different manufacturers following different protocols. There was no proper integration among the devices to send instant alerts. There are thousands of tracking devices spread across multiple geographies, that are moving. The configuration and troubleshooting of these devices incurred heavy costs, which was a logistics challenge. The existing system did not provide sophisticated Analytics, Business Intelligence and Insights from the data
