关于客户
美国盲人委员会 (ACB) 是一家总部位于美国的非营利组织,致力于支持和倡导所有盲人或视障人士。该组织由大约 70 个州分会和附属组织组成。 ACB 致力于提高盲人或视障人士的独立性和生活质量。它与地方、州和联邦政府、交通部门、教育工作者和康复专家、技术公司等合作,指导其宣传工作。该组织提供广泛的内容,包括其宣传工作的最新信息、流媒体单口喜剧和盲人艺术家表演的音乐、烹饪节目等等。
挑战
美国盲人委员会 (ACB) 是一个为盲人和视障人士倡导权益的非营利组织,其技术基础设施面临着重大挑战。该组织的本地服务器不可靠,经常出现故障,给员工和成员造成干扰。这些服务器保存了 20 多年的机构记录,也因腐败问题而出现数据丢失的情况。这种不稳定的 IT 基础阻碍了组织履行其使命和适应其服务人员需求的能力。 ACB 意识到需要投资技术并将其纳入其长期战略目标,以确保最新、安全和高效的运营。
解决方案
为了应对这些挑战,ACB 选择 Microsoft Azure 来实现其基础设施的现代化。该组织了解 Microsoft 为非营利组织提供的技术,其中包括折扣和捐赠技术。再加上 ACB 与 Microsoft 长达数十年的合作关系,使 Azure 成为基于云的技术解决方案的天然选择。向 Azure 的过渡已于 2020 年 6 月完成。该组织还在 Microsoft Surface Pro 上使用 Microsoft Office 365,这有助于其保持高生产力水平,特别是在由于 COVID-19 大流行而向远程工作过渡期间。 Azure 提供了更加可持续和可靠的基础设施,使 ACB 能够保护其数据并确保其备份策略的冗余。

Case Study
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.

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.

Digitize Railway with Deutsche Bahn
To reduce maintenance costs and delay-causing failures for Deutsche Bahn. They need manual measurements by a position measurement system based on custom-made MEMS sensor clusters, which allow autonomous and continuous monitoring with wireless data transmission and long battery. They were looking for data pre-processing solution in the sensor and machine learning algorithms in the cloud so as to detect critical wear.

Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.
