挑战
Cumbria Blood Bikes, a charity organization with a fleet of 11 vehicles, faced challenges in ensuring the safety and efficiency of their operations. The organization operates as a courier service for the National Health Service (NHS) and the Great North Air Ambulance Service, providing scheduled and emergency transport of blood and plasma. The primary challenge was maintaining effective communication and tracking of their drivers, especially during severe weather conditions in Cumbria. Previously, drivers had to manually report their locations via calls or texts, which was cumbersome and potentially unsafe during adverse weather. The organization needed a solution to enhance their Duty of Care processes and ensure the safety of their drivers and deliveries.
解决方案
To address the challenges faced by Cumbria Blood Bikes, RAM Tracking provided a comprehensive vehicle tracking solution. RAM Tracking donated 11 trackers to the charity, enabling them to have a fully tracked fleet. The system was chosen for its ease of use and the ability to quickly enhance driver safety. The tracking system allows controllers to access real-time information on the whereabouts of riders, eliminating the need for manual location updates via calls or texts. This not only improves safety by reducing distractions for drivers but also enhances operational efficiency. RAM Tracking's training was tailored to the specific needs of Cumbria Blood Bikes, ensuring that the fleet manager could easily train other volunteers. The system also provides access to historical data, which can be useful for reviewing past operations. Overall, RAM Tracking has become an essential part of Cumbria Blood Bikes' service, providing peace of mind that both drivers and deliveries are safe.

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
Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.
