关于客户
Phoenix Petroleum Ltd., founded in 2002, is a mid-sized company headquartered in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. The company operates in the petroleum construction industry and has expanded its presence with additional offices in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia; Edmonton, Alberta; and London, Ontario. Phoenix Petroleum serves clients across Canada and the Caribbean, offering a range of services from large-scale project management to daily service for retail sites and smaller businesses. The company comprises tradesmen, experienced engineers, and a management group, and has been a long-standing partner of Jonas since 2002. As the company grew, it took on larger projects and often acted as the primary contractor, managing entire projects for its clients.
挑战
Phoenix Petroleum faced significant challenges with their on-premise server infrastructure. The IT Manager, Tim Thornton, was responsible for daily manual backups, which consumed time and required secure storage space for backup tapes. As the company expanded, the number of Jonas users doubled, leading to performance issues when running large queries, which slowed down the system for all users. The existing server infrastructure was outdated and unable to handle the growing demands of the business, necessitating a move to a more scalable and efficient solution. The COVID-19 pandemic further highlighted the need for a flexible and remote-friendly IT infrastructure, as the company needed to ensure uninterrupted operations during lockdowns.
解决方案
Phoenix Petroleum transitioned to Jonas Cloud in 2019, a move that proved timely as it coincided with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The cloud-based solution allowed the company to continue operations seamlessly from home during lockdowns. The transition eliminated the need for manual backups and third-party software, and significantly improved system performance. Reports that previously took 20-25 minutes to run were now completed in just 12 seconds, allowing staff to focus on other tasks. The cloud solution also enabled the implementation of additional modules, such as the Field Time module, which were not possible with the previous server. The move to Jonas Cloud future-proofed the company's IT infrastructure, allowing for effortless scaling and onboarding of new staff.

Case Study
Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.
Case Study
Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.
