关于客户
GE Hydro是 GE Renewable Energy 的全资子公司，通过其资产绩效管理 (APM) 平台为小型和大型水电装置提供全方位的解决方案，包括机械和设备传感器集成、测试和测量以及数据解释。 GE Hydro 的全球客户包括集成商和国有企业、联邦公用事业公司、独立电力生产商和投资者。
挑战
在这些水电应用中，跟踪发电机温度和轴线应变非常重要，这是在传统解决方案无效的恶劣条件下完成的。 GE Hydro 在涡轮发电机的静态部件中使用有线传感器来检查其状况，但如今发电机杆等高移动部件的仪表化较少，即使它们是设备的关键部件。
由于操作设备的蛮力，使用小型 RFID TAG 监控、收集和管理可靠数据是一项重大技术挑战。其中之一特别来自外壳内的高电流和相关电磁场，其中发电机中的 RFID 芯片位于此类场中：此类场中的任何回路都可能变成不需要的电流，并在芯片或印刷电路板中产生潜在的短路。
解决方案
考虑到规范，GE Hydro 与开发商和半导体集成设备制造商 (IDM) Asygn 合作，使用满足 GE Hydro 的所有要求的 AS3211 IC。但要创建工业级解决方案，整个系统还需要在 RFID 带宽内正确调谐的天线，能够为完整的采集链和芯片组件供电。 GE Hydro 还指定一个完整的系统连接到旋转部件，其中距离和传输时间分别接近 4 米和 10 毫秒。
Asygn 已经与 HID Global 合作，作为他们在过去十年开发的 UHF 状态监测传感器的 TAG 供应商。因此，聘请 HID Global 来解决 GE Hydro 的挑战是一个明确的选择。

Smart Water Filtration Systems
Before working with Ayla Networks, Ozner was already using cloud connectivity to identify and solve water-filtration system malfunctions as well as to monitor filter cartridges for replacements.But, in June 2015, Ozner executives talked with Ayla about how the company might further improve its water systems with IoT technology. They liked what they heard from Ayla, but the executives needed to be sure that Ayla’s Agile IoT Platform provided the security and reliability Ozner required.

Vestas: Turning Climate into Capital with Big Data
Making wind a reliable source of energy depends greatly on the placement of the wind turbines used to produce electricity. Turbulence is a significant factor as it strains turbine components, making them more likely to fail. Vestas wanted to pinpoint the optimal location for wind turbines to maximize power generation and reduce energy costs.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.

Siemens Wind Power
Wind provides clean, renewable energy. The core concept is simple: wind turbines spin blades to generate power. However, today's systems are anything but simple. Modern wind turbines have blades that sweep a 120 meter circle, cost more than 1 million dollars and generate multiple megawatts of power. Each turbine may include up to 1,000 sensors and actuators – integrating strain gages, bearing monitors and power conditioning technology. The turbine can control blade speed and power generation by altering the blade pitch and power extraction. Controlling the turbine is a sophisticated job requiring many cooperating processors closing high-speed loops and implementing intelligent monitoring and optimization algorithms. But the real challenge is integrating these turbines so that they work together. A wind farm may include hundreds of turbines. They are often installed in difficult-to-access locations at sea. The farm must implement a fundamentally and truly distributed control system. Like all power systems, the goal of the farm is to match generation to load. A farm with hundreds of turbines must optimize that load by balancing the loading and generation across a wide geography. Wind, of course, is dynamic. Almost every picture of a wind farm shows a calm sea and a setting sun. But things get challenging when a storm goes through the wind farm. In a storm, the control system must decide how to take energy out of gusts to generate constant power. It must intelligently balance load across many turbines. And a critical consideration is the loading and potential damage to a half-billion-dollar installed asset. This is no environment for a slow or undependable control system. Reliability and performance are crucial.
