关于客户
AB Martin Roofing Supply 是一家快速发展的公司,为美国东北部 19 个州提供建筑材料。该公司成立于 70 年前,是一家家族企业,是屋顶、建筑和施工相关产品的一站式供应商。每年,该公司生产超过 1900 万英尺的金属板,并向美国 19 个州的约 14 万名承包商交付。AB Martin Roofing 还从众多供应商处购买木材、钢材、机械零件、钉子、螺丝和其他材料。它是当今美国东北部发展最快的建筑供应公司之一。
挑战
AB Martin Roofing 是一家快速发展的建筑供应公司,在管理其供应链方面面临挑战。该公司与多家供应商打交道,经常从这些供应商处购买钢材、五金件、木材、机械零件、钉子、螺丝和其他材料。这些供应商发来的纸质发票很难追踪,也很难核实所开具发票的商品是否已经发货。该公司没有系统来了解发票在哪里或谁的桌子上。这种组织不力导致整理发票的过程非常耗时。
解决方案
AB Martin Roofing 实施了文档管理系统 DocuWare,以简化其会计工作流程。该公司与 DocuWare 授权合作伙伴合作安装了新的解决方案。在顺利过渡后,该公司拥有 19 名 DocuWare 用户,每周处理超过 400 份文档。该公司现在在 DocuWare 系统中存储了超过 20,000 张发票、737 份报表和 3911 份装箱单。现在,发票直接通过电子邮件发送到 DocuWare,纸质副本则扫描发送。该公司还将 DocuWare 与其现有的会计软件 Paradigm Accounting 及其应付账款邮箱集成在一起。这种集成有助于整合和简化工作流程。到达应付账款邮箱的电子邮件将直接移动到 DocuWare。当发票来自供应商时,它会与会计系统中的采购订单进行匹配。DocuWare 会识别负责供应商的采购员并适当地分配任务。

Case Study
IoT System for Tunnel Construction
The Zenitaka Corporation ('Zenitaka') has two major business areas: its architectural business focuses on structures such as government buildings, office buildings, and commercial facilities, while its civil engineering business is targeted at structures such as tunnels, bridges and dams. Within these areas, there presented two issues that have always persisted in regard to the construction of mountain tunnels. These issues are 'improving safety" and "reducing energy consumption". Mountain tunnels construction requires a massive amount of electricity. This is because there are many kinds of electrical equipment being used day and night, including construction machinery, construction lighting, and ventilating fan. Despite this, the amount of power consumption is generally not tightly managed. In many cases, the exact amount of power consumption is only ascertained when the bill from the power company becomes available. Sometimes, corporations install demand-monitoring equipment to help curb the maximum power demanded. However, even in these cases, the devices only allow the total volume of power consumption to be ascertained, or they may issue warnings to prevent the contracted volume of power from being exceeded. In order to tackle the issue of reducing power consumption, it was first necessary to obtain an accurate breakdown of how much power was being used in each particular area. In other words, we needed to be able to visualize the amount of power being consumed. Safety, was also not being managed very rigorously. Even now, tunnel construction sites often use a 'name label' system for managing entry into the work site. Specifically, red labels with white reverse sides that bear the workers' names on both sides are displayed at the tunnel work site entrance. The workers themselves then flip the name label to the appropriate side when entering or exiting from the work site to indicate whether or not they are working inside the tunnel at any given time. If a worker forgets to flip his or her name label when entering or exiting from the tunnel, management cannot be performed effectively. In order to tackle the challenges mentioned above, Zenitaka decided to build a system that could improve the safety of tunnel construction as well as reduce the amount of power consumed. In other words, this new system would facilitate a clear picture of which workers were working in each location at the mountain tunnel construction site, as well as which processes were being carried out at those respective locations at any given time. The system would maintain the safety of all workers while also carefully controlling the electrical equipment to reduce unnecessary power consumption. Having decided on the concept, our next concern was whether there existed any kind of robust hardware that would not break down at the construction work site, that could move freely in response to changes in the working environment, and that could accurately detect workers and vehicles using radio frequency identification (RFID). Given that this system would involve many components that were new to Zenitaka, we decided to enlist the cooperation of E.I.Sol Co., Ltd. ('E.I.Sol') as our joint development partner, as they had provided us with a highly practical proposal.

Splunk Partnership Ties Together Big Data & IoT Services
Splunk was faced with the need to meet emerging customer demands for interfacing IoT projects to its suite of services. The company required an IoT partner that would be able to easily and quickly integrate with its Splunk Enterprise platform, rather than allocating development resources and time to building out an IoT interface and application platform.

Condition Based Monitoring for Industrial Systems
A large construction aggregate plant operates 10 high horsepower Secondary Crusher Drive Motors and associated conveyor belts, producing 600 tons of product per hour. All heavy equipment requires maintenance, but the aggregate producer’s costs were greatly magnified any time that the necessary maintenance was unplanned and unscheduled. The product must be supplied to the customers on a tight time schedule to fulfill contracts, avoid penalties, and prevent the loss of future business. Furthermore, a sudden failure in one of the drive motors would cause rock to pile up in unwanted locations, extending the downtime and increasing the costs.Clearly, preventative maintenance was preferable to unexpected failures. So, twice each year, the company brought in an outside vendor to attach sensors to the motors, do vibration studies, measure bearing temperatures and attempt to assess the health of the motors. But that wasn’t enough. Unexpected breakdowns continued to occur. The aggregate producer decided to upgrade to a Condition Based Monitoring (CBM) sensor system that could continually monitor the motors in real time, apply data analytics to detect changes in motor behavior before they developed into major problems, and alert maintenance staff via email or text, anywhere they happened to be.A wired sensor network would have been cost prohibitive. An aggregate plant has numerous heavy vehicles moving around, so any cabling would have to be protected. But the plant covers 400 acres, and the cable would have to be trenched to numerous locations. Cable wasn’t going to work. The aggregate producer needed a wireless solution.
