关于客户
Rail Europe 4A is a company that operates websites allowing people living outside Europe and North America to book train tickets for any European destination, regardless of the different rail companies that may be involved. The company was created in 1995 through a joint initiative by the Swiss and French railway operators. They sell tickets through domestic agents and white-label packages to tour operators, as well as directly on their websites. Their customers are located in countries around the world and span multiple time zones, currencies, and languages.
挑战
Rail Europe 4A operates websites that allow people living outside Europe and North America to book train tickets for any European destination, regardless of the different rail companies that may be involved. Their customers are located in countries around the world and span multiple time zones, currencies, and languages. As their business expanded, they realized they needed to revamp their website architecture to keep up. They wanted to provide the same high-quality service across the board—even to customers living 15,000 km from their servers. The challenge was to enhance their existing infrastructure with the help of a content delivery network provider, which would optimize the supply of content to their websites.
解决方案
Rail Europe 4A decided to enhance their existing infrastructure with the help of a content delivery network provider, CDNetworks, which would optimize the supply of content to their websites. CDNetworks stood apart due to their expansive coverage in terms of both geographical reach and the capacity to adapt to local conditions. They worked with Rail Europe 4A to select the best configuration options, especially for which type of content to store in cache. In just a few weeks, they were able to determine the ideal architecture for their needs and the needs of their customers. This proved to be a wise strategic decision, particularly for achieving best-in-class performance in countries like Australia, where IT infrastructure is still a real challenge, or in Singapore where, on the other hand, website users are accustomed to perfectly seamless navigation.

Case Study
Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.
Case Study
IoT-based Fleet Intelligence Innovation
Speed to market is precious for DRVR, a rapidly growing start-up company. With a business model dependent on reliable mobile data, managers were spending their lives trying to negotiate data roaming deals with mobile network operators in different countries. And, even then, service quality was a constant concern.
Case Study
Digitize Railway with Deutsche Bahn
To reduce maintenance costs and delay-causing failures for Deutsche Bahn. They need manual measurements by a position measurement system based on custom-made MEMS sensor clusters, which allow autonomous and continuous monitoring with wireless data transmission and long battery. They were looking for data pre-processing solution in the sensor and machine learning algorithms in the cloud so as to detect critical wear.
Case Study
Cold Chain Transportation and Refrigerated Fleet Management System
1) Create a digital connected transportation solution to retrofit cold chain trailers with real-time tracking and controls. 2) Prevent multi-million dollar losses due to theft or spoilage. 3) Deliver a digital chain-of-custody solution for door to door load monitoring and security. 4) Provide a trusted multi-fleet solution in a single application with granular data and access controls.
Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
