The First Step in a Utility’s Digital Transformation - Software AG Industrial IoT Case Study
The First Step in a Utility’s Digital Transformation
Malaysia’s leading electricity utility is facing rising operating costs and the future risk of market deregulation. The utility generates, transmits and distributes electricity to 9.2 million residential, industrial and commercial customers. However, the rising cost of coal, which accounts for 55% of its power, is eating up the budget. Coupled with unrelenting growth in demand, driving internal cost efficiencies are now critical to business. Furthermore, the utility needs to accelerate service improvements as it faces a second, potentially greater threat: Market deregulation. The utility turned these challenges into an opportunity to flip the switch on for digital business transformation. But where to start? Like many companies, the utility’s view into its IT environment was via nothing more than a few Excel spreadsheets.

Automating fertiliser supply in Western Australia with Telstra and Cumulocity IoT - Software AG Industrial IoT Case Study
Automating fertiliser supply in Western Australia with Telstra and Cumulocity IoT
CSBP, an Australian fertiliser and chemical company, was facing challenges in managing inventories and supplies of fertiliser during the peak season. As the main supplier of the preferred liquid fertiliser used in farming grains in Western Australia, urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), it needed to be able to meet the needs of the farmers speedily. The farms are spread over tens of millions of hectares in Western Australia, presenting a logistical problem for fertiliser suppliers. The farmers tend to stock up on fertiliser in April/May and when the rains fall they rapidly deplete their tanks. Some larger farms have several tanks to manage. Traditionally, they had to monitor the floating gauges in each tank, waiting until they were empty to re-order, because the fertiliser can only be trucked in whole tanker loads. Third party trucking companies are scheduled by CSBP to collect the fertiliser from the Kwinana, WA, depot. Sometimes these trucks have to deliver to farms that are hundreds of kilometers away from the Kwinana depot. This all adds to the supply chain complexity, especially as so many farmers run out of fertiliser at the same time.

Top Global Telco Answers Call for Speed at Scale - Software AG Industrial IoT Case Study
Top Global Telco Answers Call for Speed at Scale
The company, one of the largest telecom companies in the world, wanted a global platform that could scale new services for hundreds of millions of users and countless partners. The first challenge was a new pay-as-you-go global Wi-Fi service that was outstripping capacity. The company had built the service assuming it could sign up 5 million users in five years; it signed up that many in just six months. The runaway success meant the company needed 40 times that capacity—enough for 200 million users—to handle future demand, but scaling its existing infrastructure was far too costly. The company previously stored transactional and billing data in Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC), but Oracle wanted $5 million for the kind of expansion the company needed. Worse, Oracle RAC hit a wall at around 150 business transactions per second—way below the company’s requirement of 2,000 per second.
