挑战
Zymergen, a high-growth biotechnology company, was facing organizational challenges due to its rapid growth. The company was using many custom software systems and algorithms to push research boundaries. However, as the company grew, it struggled to organize its rapidly growing R&D team, ensure streamlined collaboration among scientists working across different labs and teams, scale its R&D organization without losing institutional knowledge, and integrate custom software platforms and algorithms with best-in-class software tools.
关于客户
Zymergen is a high-growth biotechnology company that uses proprietary algorithms to create essential chemicals and novel materials from clean, renewable sources. The company 'programs' microbes to produce high-value commercial molecules and counts several Fortune 100 companies among its customers. In June of 2015, it raised $44 million in venture funding in a round led by Data Collective. As the company grew, it faced challenges in organizing its rapidly growing R&D team and ensuring streamlined collaboration among scientists working across different labs and teams.

Advanced Elastomer Systems Upgrades Production
In order to maintain its share of the international market for thermoplastic elastomers AES recently expanded its Florida plant by adding a new production line. While the existing lines were operating satisfactorily using a PROVOX distributed control system with traditional analog I/O, AES wanted advanced technology on the new line for greater economy, efficiency, and reliability. AES officials were anxious to get this line into production to meet incoming orders, but two hurricanes slowed construction.

Field Device Asset Management For Chemical Company in China
Chinese chemical subsidiary of multinational corporation serves customers throughout the world. Sales offices and research and technology centers are strategically located to provide rapid response to customer requests. Just two workers were assigned to maintain thousands of intelligent instruments in three production units, so they could do little more than react to device issues as they appeared. This costly maintenance method inevitably led to unexpected downtime when a critical instrument failed. Plant management recognized the need to change from reactive to predictive maintenance for all assets, including instruments and control valves, but help was needed in implementing such a technology-based initiative.
