关于客户
本例中的客户是明尼苏达州交通部 (MnDOT)。 20 世纪 90 年代初期,锰矿交通部将石拱桥(一座建于 1883 年的前铁路桥)改造成步行道和自行车道。为了确保公共安全并保护历史标志,MnDOT 启动了一项耗资 1200 万美元的修复项目。他们聘请柯林斯工程师来评估和恢复桥梁的结构完整性,找出缺陷并修复桥梁,以确保它在未来仍然是宝贵的文化和物质资产。 MnDOT 负责维护和保护这一重要的地标,它被认为是繁荣的象征和国家土木工程地标。
挑战
石拱桥是明尼阿波利斯历史悠久的人行道,需要进行重大修复,以确保其结构完整性和公共安全。明尼苏达州交通部 (MnDOT) 聘请柯林斯工程师来评估和修复这座有 140 年历史的砖石桥。该项目需要对整个桥梁结构的状况进行详细检查,包括石拱、路堤、桥墩和水下基础。考虑到砖石结构的年代和规模,柯林斯在制定修复计划时面临着传统数据收集和检查方法无法适应的挑战。传统的工作流程非常耗时,会严重影响公众对桥梁的使用,并且可能无法提供生成准确的修复计划所需的详细程度。为了克服这些挑战,柯林斯寻求将检查数据数字化并生成桥梁的 3D 模型。
解决方案
柯林斯工程师决定使用数字孪生来补充传统的检查流程,以简化工作流程并改变他们执行检查的方式。他们使用无人机捕获了 13,000 多张图像,并在 ContextCapture 中进行处理,生成石拱桥的高保真 3D 模型,然后上传到云端。 Collins 集成 Bentley 的数字孪生技术,在混合现实环境中执行虚拟检查。现场的桥梁检查员可以通过平板电脑访问数字双胞胎,并将检查信息直接记录在模型上。数字孪生不仅提供有价值的数据和信息,而且还充当沟通工具,实现团队之间的实时协作和问题解决。这些模型还帮助设计团队在数字环境中精确识别物理、结构缺陷,并为公众提供虚拟视觉洞察和对修复工程的更好理解。

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.

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.

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.

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.
