挑战
Amadori Group, a leading food processing company in Italy, faced challenges in optimizing temperature management during meat processing steps. The company needed to ensure traceability, with exact temperature data for every step: processing, stocking, and preservation. They aimed to deploy a system that improves plant efficiency. However, they faced difficulty in software migration from an outdated version to a highly innovative and scalable system. They also needed to create a temperature control system that adjusts according to the external weather conditions. The most sensitive part of production was the correct management of temperature, both in the processing and in the stocking and preservation steps. Temperature must be kept constant in the cold stores used in the preservation of slaughtered meat in order to prevent it from quickly spoiling.

解决方案
Amadori Group deployed Wonderware Historian and HMI software to enable compliance with government regulations, optimize production cycles and improve energy management. The Wonderware InTouch HMI (Human Machine Interface) allows for smart operation. The system is able to manage the activation of the air conditioning system according to actual needs and it also establishes the power needed to guarantee ideal conditions. The Wonderware InTouch HMI nodes help analyze environmental conditions, helping in the control of the air conditioning system. The Wonderware Historian software is specifically designed for the historicization and archiving of process data and helps solve this problem. Wonderware Historian Clients provide access to all stored process data and transform it into graphics and useful information that allows operators to visualize historical event-related temperature trends intuitively.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.
