挑战
霍尼韦尔和英特尔共同为互联员工开发了物联网概念验证 (PoC)。互联工人可以采取多种形式——工厂工人、矿工、急救人员、消防员等等。对于每个环境和工人角色，不同的传感器选择可能适合提供最有意义的物联网驱动数据集来代表单个工人资产。与大多数物联网解决方案一样，避免被源源不断的无意义数据淹没至关重要。相反，必须将选定的可操作情报发送到云，以实现可视化和自定义警报通知。不利的一面是，来自单个可穿戴设备的数据——如果单独查看——可能会导致误报，从而导致人力效率低下。将传感器技术与大数据处理（集线器/网关）、分析（全部在云中）融合在一起，是提高本地智能以及可操作智能远程可视化的关键。

解决方案
Connected Worker Proof of Concept (PoC) 包括一个可穿戴移动集线器，为工人穿戴的可穿戴设备提供无与伦比的传感器数据融合工具。这些可穿戴传感器包括基于英特尔最新低功耗边缘处理器之一英特尔® Quark™ SE 微控制器的多种解决方案，该微控制器还提供传感器数据流处理和模式识别技术。除了基于英特尔的可穿戴解决方案外，PoC 还包括霍尼韦尔的自给式呼吸器 (SCBA)。这通过低功耗蓝牙 (BLE) 短程无线通信将数据发送到可穿戴移动集线器，以进行传感器融合，并通过 Wi-Fi 或蜂窝将数据传输到云端，以便通过可信分析平台 (TAO) 获取数据并在AWS 托管的中央事件指挥应用程序。此外，可穿戴移动集线器可提供高度准确的员工定位数据。该解决方案结合了工作人员位置、手势通信和活动检测，可提供真正的远程态势感知。英特尔® WCS8270 Wi-Fi 技术可以确定设施内工作人员的准确位置——提供基于 IEEE 802.11mc 精细时间测量 (802.11mc FTM) 的室内定位。这是在移动集线器内生成的，而 802.11mc FTM 覆盖是通过在整个建筑物中安装的“802.11mc FTM 响应器”设备实现的。在 PoC 中，“FTM Responder”设备基于英特尔 Quark SE 微控制器，集成了英特尔® Wi-Fi，支持英特尔® Galileo Gen 2 开发平台上的 802.11mc FTM。移动集线器由基于英特尔的智能手机和英特尔的 Wi-Fi WCS8270 组成，支持 802.11mc FTM，运行 Android Lollipop。

Case Study
Underground Mining Safety
The goal was to produce a safety system to monitor and support underground mining operations; existing systems were either too simple (i.e. phone line) or overly complex and expensive, inhibiting deployment, and providing little-to-no support in event of an accident. Given the dangerous nature of the mining work environment and the strict regulations placed on the industry, the solution would have to comply with Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) regulations. Yet the product needed to allow for simple deployment to truly be a groundbreaking solution - increasing miner safety and changing daily operations for the better.
Case Study
Facility Management Solution in Construction Industry
In the construction of Crown Towers in Perth, hundreds of workers enter and exit the construction site each day, totalling into thousands by the completion of the project. All of these workers perform different tasks and come from different agencies, making it difficult for supervisors to track who does what, when, and where on such a large-scale site. An easy-to-use access, security and facility management solution was required.
Case Study
Industrial Workforce Mobility for Improved Safety & Operations
Huntsman Corporation, a global manufacturer and marketer of differentiated chemicals, undertook an aggressive program to eliminate injuries, product defects, and environmental releases at their Port Neches facility. Termed “Project Zero”, this program required a completely mobile solution to empower operations and maintenance personnel to capture defects, track work progress and make process and safety related decisions in real-time.
Case Study
Improving Factory Worker Posture
A 49 year old factory worker with long-standing low back pain was referred to a ViMove clinic for assessment and treatment. The worker’s low back pain had been managed and resolved with acupuncture in the past. The patient reported severe low back pain worse in the morning after prolonged rest. He also had trouble straightening up and experienced constant stiffness and pain.
Case Study
WEST TEXAS GAS TRUSTS WIN-911 ALARM NOTIFICATION SOFTWARE
It became clear that the SCADA system was not an infallible means ofmonitoring field stations; the systems would sometimes lose connection with the host computer. This caused delays in personnel response to alarms and increased the risk of severe warnings not being received before corrective actions could be implemented. As a precaution, the alarm points had to be visually monitored and staff would be required to call the appropriate personnel if an alarm came through. Regulations wereestablished for timely reporting. The management at West Texas Gas quickly determined that a secondary alarm support system needed to be installed. They were seeking something that would be able to monitor variable tags from the OPC server as well as monitor custom tags that were built into the existing SV32 SCADA system to observe and report flare volumes.

Reducing Operating Costs And Improving Safety
To ensure safe operation of the nuclear plant, the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations sets the performance objectives and defines the criteria (PO&C) to meet those objectives. The plant personnel manually compare each line item in the CAP report against the PO&C to evaluate the seriousness of the event. A spilled cup of coffee in the wrong place might not be too serious, while a critical pump leaking that has the potential to shut down the plant is another matter entirely. This manual process of classifying the seriousness of each item in a CAP report lies at the heart of the continuous effort to improve the safety and operation of the nuclear power plant, but requires significant time and resources. Our client needed a way to automate the classification process to increase its efficiency and to extract information from years of reported events to better understand their causes and anticipate possible adverse events.
