关于客户
CVB 是 Costain、VINCI Construction Grands Projets 和 Bachy Soletanche 的合资企业。他们赢得了价值 6.05 亿英镑的伦敦泰晤士河潮汐隧道东段的建设招标。这个庞大的项目旨在清理首都的河流。新的“超级下水道”长 25 公里,宽 7.2 米。该项目复杂且涉及多个站点,而 COVID-19 的影响使挑战更加复杂。该合资企业已经在使用 Microsoft SharePoint 作为文档存储库,因此他们正在寻找一种可以与 Microsoft 平台紧密集成且具有熟悉的 Web 界面的工作流程解决方案。
挑战
CVB 是 Costain、VINCI Construction Grands Projets 和 Bachy Soletanche 的合资企业,它赢得了价值 6.05 亿英镑的伦敦泰晤士潮汐隧道东段的建设招标。该项目复杂且涉及多个地点,而 COVID-19 的影响使挑战雪上加霜。施工现场对文书工作的过度依赖是个问题,因为纸质表格可能会丢失或信息记录错误。再加上携带 COVID-19 的风险,人们更有理由寻找数字替代方案。纸质记录也使遵守建筑法规更具挑战性。更清晰地了解流程也会使改进流程变得更加容易。
解决方案
该合资企业已经在使用 Microsoft SharePoint 作为文档存储库,因此选择了 FlowForma 流程自动化工具,因为它与 Microsoft 平台紧密集成,并且具有熟悉的 Web 界面。该工具的“无代码”特性意味着非技术人员可以快速学习如何构建工作流程。在签约两个月内,CVB 就展示了投资成果。第一个流程是新项目启动/离职表格,紧接着是每日现场日记。两者都从纸质流程顺利过渡,好处立竿见影。项目启动涉及审批流程,在数字工作流程的不同阶段让不同的人入职,从而降低了延误的风险。两者的额外好处是,在疫情期间,当无法再实际共享文书工作时,它们如何帮助提高 CVB 的远程工作能力。

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.

Splunk Partnership Ties Together Big Data & IoT Services
Splunk was faced with the need to meet emerging customer demands for interfacing IoT projects to its suite of services. The company required an IoT partner that would be able to easily and quickly integrate with its Splunk Enterprise platform, rather than allocating development resources and time to building out an IoT interface and application platform.

Bridge monitoring in Hamburg Port
Kattwyk Bridge is used for both rail and road transport, and it has played an important role in the Port of Hamburg since 1973. However, the increasing pressure from traffic requires a monitoring solution. The goal of the project is to assess in real-time the bridge's status and dynamic responses to traffic and lift processes.

Condition Based Monitoring for Industrial Systems
A large construction aggregate plant operates 10 high horsepower Secondary Crusher Drive Motors and associated conveyor belts, producing 600 tons of product per hour. All heavy equipment requires maintenance, but the aggregate producer’s costs were greatly magnified any time that the necessary maintenance was unplanned and unscheduled. The product must be supplied to the customers on a tight time schedule to fulfill contracts, avoid penalties, and prevent the loss of future business. Furthermore, a sudden failure in one of the drive motors would cause rock to pile up in unwanted locations, extending the downtime and increasing the costs.Clearly, preventative maintenance was preferable to unexpected failures. So, twice each year, the company brought in an outside vendor to attach sensors to the motors, do vibration studies, measure bearing temperatures and attempt to assess the health of the motors. But that wasn’t enough. Unexpected breakdowns continued to occur. The aggregate producer decided to upgrade to a Condition Based Monitoring (CBM) sensor system that could continually monitor the motors in real time, apply data analytics to detect changes in motor behavior before they developed into major problems, and alert maintenance staff via email or text, anywhere they happened to be.A wired sensor network would have been cost prohibitive. An aggregate plant has numerous heavy vehicles moving around, so any cabling would have to be protected. But the plant covers 400 acres, and the cable would have to be trenched to numerous locations. Cable wasn’t going to work. The aggregate producer needed a wireless solution.
