挑战
美国东北部，特别是马萨诸塞州等州，经常受到严酷的冬季天气的影响，包括大雪、积冰和严寒。 2022年，大波士顿地区经历了四次大型冬季风暴，其中一场单日降雨量创下了创纪录的23.6英寸。这些冬季条件给市政当局在人员配备、除雪、维护和资产管理方面带来了重大挑战。布罗克顿市公共工程专员帕特·希尔 (Pat Hill) 和戴德姆镇公共工程总监乔·弗拉纳根 (Joe Flanagan) 负责管理这些业务。然而，由于没有关于降水何时开始和停止的准确信息，他们常常只能猜测何时以及需要多长时间来配备工作人员、保护设备和关闭道路，从而导致效率低下和不必要的成本。
关于客户
本案例研究中的客户是位于马萨诸塞州波士顿市南部的布罗克顿市和戴德姆市。这些城市负责管理一系列公共工程运营，包括人员配备、除雪、维护和资产管理，特别是在美国东北部常见的严冬天气条件下。负责这些运营的关键人物是帕特·希尔 (Pat Hill)、布罗克顿市公共工程专员和戴德姆镇公共工程总监乔·弗拉纳根。他们的任务是规划、指导和管理这些运营，并一直在寻找提高效率和降低成本的方法。
解决方案
为了克服这些挑战，布罗克顿和戴德姆市政府求助于 Tomorrow.io 提供的天气情报。该解决方案提供超本地数据、自动警报和可行的见解，使市政当局能够在任何天气事件发生之前做好准备并简化操作。 Tomorrow.io 的超本地每小时预报与自动洞察相结合，提供了降水何时开始和结束的精确信息，使市政当局能够更有效地规划其行动。此外，Tomorrow.io 的天气和气候安全平台根据对特定市政当局运营最重要的天气条件以及市政当局为减轻即将到来的天气影响而采取的行动，生成量身定制的见解和警报。这使得市政当局能够显着改善资源管理，减少不必要的加班，并更有效地安排员工。

Turning A Stadium Into A Smart Building
Honeywell created what it called the “intelligent system” for the National Stadium in Beijing, China, turning the venue for the opening and closing events at the 2008 Summer Olympics into a “smart building.” Designed by highly controversial artist Ai Weiwei, the “Bird’s Nest” remains one of the most impressive feats of stadium architecture in the world. The 250,000 square meter structure housed more than 100,000 athletes and spectators at a time. To accommodate such capacity, China turned to Honeywell’s EBI Integrated Building Management System to create an integrated “intelligent system” for improved building security, safety and energy efficiency.

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

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.
