关于客户
Luzenac America, Inc. 是 Luzenac Group 的一个分部，该集团开采的滑石占全球滑石用量的四分之一以上。Luzenac America 在加拿大、美国和墨西哥的工厂每年生产 50 万吨滑石。该公司拥有 10 个工厂，员工 450 人。该公司在 IBM AS400 上使用一级财务系统（JD Edwards，现为 Oracle 的 PeopleSoft）来管理其运营。但是，由于众多的分层定制，该系统变得复杂且难以操作。输入数据很容易，但提取可用信息却很难。此外，该系统的升级成本很高，需要专门的 IS 和 IT 部门提供支持。
挑战
Luzenac America 是 Luzenac Group 的一个分部，该公司在 IBM AS400 上使用一级财务系统（JD Edwards，现为 Oracle 的 PeopleSoft）来管理其业务。但是，由于存在大量分层定制，该系统非常复杂且难以操作。输入数据很容易，但提取可用信息却很难。此外，该系统的升级成本很高，需要专门的 IS 和 IT 部门提供支持。该公司在该系统上的花费太多了，即使对于其规模的公司来说也是如此。他们需要一个可以立即满足其大部分需求、没有漏洞且具有卓越仓库和库存管理功能的新系统。
解决方案
Luzenac America 决定将 Sage 500 ERP 用于所有核心财务应用程序，包括总帐、销售订单、应收账款、应付账款和现金管理。由 Ironware Technologies 开发的生产信息管理系统 (PIMS) 记录生产数据并与 Sage 500 ERP 库存管理、库存补充、销售订单、应付账款和应收账款模块无缝集成。Sage 500 ERP 自动将库存生产记录到库存管理模块中，维护成品的实时库存数据。该公司还使用 Sage 500 ERP 多币种管理模块进行自动资金转换，这对该公司的加拿大业务来说是一项重要的省时措施。Sage 固定资产会计是 Sage 500 ERP 的固定资产模块，管理着价值约 1 亿美元的 Luzenac 资产。

Case Study
Underground Mining Safety
The goal was to produce a safety system to monitor and support underground mining operations; existing systems were either too simple (i.e. phone line) or overly complex and expensive, inhibiting deployment, and providing little-to-no support in event of an accident. Given the dangerous nature of the mining work environment and the strict regulations placed on the industry, the solution would have to comply with Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) regulations. Yet the product needed to allow for simple deployment to truly be a groundbreaking solution - increasing miner safety and changing daily operations for the better.
Case Study
Mining Firm Quadruples Production, with Internet of Everything
Dundee Precious Metal’s flagship mine, in Chelopech, Bulgaria, produces a gold, copper, and silver concentrate set a goal to increase production by 30%. Dundee wanted to increase production quality and output without increasing headcount and resources, improve miner safety, and minimize cost.

Fastenal Builds the Future of Manufacturing with MachineMetrics
Fastenal's objective was to better understand their machine downtime, utilization, quality issues, and to embrace cutting-edge manufacturing technology/process improvement capabilities to bring their team to the next level. However, there was a lack of real-time data, visualization, and actionable insights made this transition impossible.
Case Study
Joy Mining Systems
Joy equipment faces many challenges. The first is machine integration and control. The business end of the machine has a rapidly-spinning cylinder with 6-inch diamond-studded cutting teeth. It chews through rock at rates measured in tens of tons per minute. The system grinds through the rock in front, creating a rectangular mine tunnel. Hydraulic lifters support the ceiling as the machine moves forward. Automated drills and screws drive 3-ft long screws into the ceiling to stabilize it. The rock and coal fall into a set of gathering "fingers" below the cutting cylinder. These fingers scoop up the rock and coal and deposit it onto a conveyor belt. The conveyor passes under the machine and out the back. A train of conveyor belt cars, up to a mile long, follows the cutter into the mine. The rock shoots along this train at over 400 feet per minute until it empties into rail cars at the end. Current systems place an operator cage next to the cutter. Choking dust (potentially explosive), the risk of collapse and the proximity of metal and rock mayhem make the operator cage a hazardous location.
Case Study
Improved Monitoring in Industrial Manufacturing Facility
When your crane is moving tons of magma-hot iron, you can’t afford an unexpected failure. McWane Ductile knew monitoring the crane motor metrics within their facility could help prevent a mechanical failure that would strand an enormous bucket of molten metal overhead. Unfortunately, their legacy wired monitoring system couldn’t work with moving objects in this extreme environment. If they could integrate wireless capabilities into their existing equipment they could extend their monitoring capabilities without starting over from scratch.
