Techedge, a company that aids organizations in accelerating their digital transformation, was facing a challenge with its Kubernetes-based services and solutions. The use of public cloud platforms, while initially beneficial, was proving to be costly and barely scalable when operating on a large scale. As their new line of business began to grow, it became necessary to move from the public cloud to a larger platform with more containers. This new platform required special customization, not just for the apps but also for the container-based model in general, in terms of both security and optimization settings, and customer preferences. This level of customization was not possible in the public cloud.

Eastridge Workforce Solutions, a provider of workforce management services and technologies to over 1,300 clients across North America, faced a critical challenge with its time and attendance system. This system, which processes transactions from thousands of people 24/7, 365 days a year, verifies employee attendance and records their time to generate accurate payrolls. Any downtime in this system would be catastrophic, causing significant disruption to Eastridge and its clients. The company needed a high availability/disaster recovery (HA/DR) solution that would ensure the system and its associated data would always be available, regardless of any potential disasters or scheduled maintenance. However, HA/DR was not a core competency for Eastridge, and the company did not want to distract its IT group from its primary business objectives.

Bright Power, a nationwide leader in strategic energy solutions, was facing challenges with simultaneous heating and cooling in its New York headquarters due to uncontrolled perimeter radiation and packaged air conditioning on thermostats. The building’s system included individually-controlled thermostatic radiator valves and a packaged air-conditioning unit. This led to frequent simultaneous heating and cooling and a lack of control, resulting in energy wastage and occupant discomfort. Bright Power sought to control the space’s disparate systems with the aim to reduce energy waste, increase comfort, and evaluate how IoT-based controls can help their commercial and multifamily clients achieve the same. They also required an open-source solution that could install in tandem with Tunstall radiator products.

Blue Bottle Coffee (BBC), a global coffee roaster and retailer, was facing significant challenges with its IT infrastructure. The infrastructure was insecure and distributed among several cloud providers, lacking a DevOps approach. This situation increased the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and slowed down the time to market for their products. BBC aimed to assemble and optimize the disjointed IT-infrastructure elements to increase the security of the entire ecosystem. They also wanted to implement Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines to accelerate and facilitate the deployment process by eliminating manual operations. Operational inefficiencies were causing high TCO and slow Time to Market (TTM), keeping BBC’s engineering team occupied with non-strategic tasks. BBC approached Provectus to prepare their IT-infrastructure for AWS migration, optimize and enhance its deployment process, and make BBC’s entire ecosystem more secure, which would allow the company to further spur its expansion, both in the USA and abroad.

Cuerva a Spanish Grip Operator, was seeking to enhance grid knowledge through the implementation of the AI Energy Forecasting Model to obtain precise forecasts of user demand and energy generation.Cuerva’s grid encompasses over 16,000 diverse supply points, making cloud-based operations intricate and susceptible to issues such as connectivity loss, delays in information transmission, and reliance on centralized infrastructure, which can result in the loss of critical data.To tackle these challenges, the Edge technology has proven to be the sole alternative capable of addressing these issues effectively. It ensures real-time data access and operates in a decentralized manner, minimizing the impact of device failures on the overall functionality of the network.In this successful case, we illustrate how with Barbara DSOs can implement AI directly in substations to accurately predict the demand and production values of consumers linked to the transformation center where an Edge node run by Barbara has been deployed.

Wandering is a common symptom of Alzheimer’s and dementia even at the early stages (60% of Alzheimer’s patients will wander off and become lost at some point). These diseases kill brain cells and destroy people’s memories, most notably short-term recall. Patients forget the last thing they did, so their first impulse is to stand and start moving with the intention of doing something. This is compounded by the fact that individuals with dementia are easily disoriented and become confused in crowded or unknown situations, and they have a strong tendency to want to escape.
