关于客户
从 Twilio 和 Microsoft 到 Lemnos Labs 和雀巢,Helium 已经受到数千家企业的信任。
挑战
物联网是一个价值 8000 亿美元的产业,拥有超过 84 亿台联网设备,预计到 2021 年支出将达到近 1.4 万亿美元 [1]。这些设备中的大多数都需要连接到 Internet 才能运行。然而,当前的解决方案(如蜂窝、WiFi 和蓝牙)并不理想:它们太贵、太耗电或范围太有限。
解决方案
Helium 是一个分散的机器网络,它使世界上任何地方的机器都可以无线连接到互联网并进行地理定位,而无需耗电的卫星定位硬件或昂贵的蜂窝计划。为网络提供动力的是一个带有原生协议代币的区块链,它激励了覆盖提供者和覆盖消费者之间的双边市场。

IoT Applications and Upgrades in Textile Plant
At any given time, the textile company’s manufacturing facility has up to 2,000 textile carts in use. These carts are pushed from room to room, carrying materials or semi-finished products. Previously, a paper with a hand-written description was attached to each cart. This traditional method of processing made product tracking extremely difficult. Additionally, making sure that every cart of materials or semi-finished products went to its correct processing work station was also a problem. Therefore, the company desired an intelligent solution for tracking assets at their factories. They also wanted a solution that would help them collect process data so they could improve their manufacturing efficiency.

Buoy Status Monitoring with LoRa
The Netherlands are well-known for their inland waterways, canals, sluices and of course port activities. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure indicates that there are thousands of buoys and fixed items in and near water environments that would profit from IoT monitoring. One of the problems with buoys for example, is that they get hit by ships and the anchor cable breaks. Without connectivity, it takes quite some time to find out that something has happened with that buoy. Not to mention the costs of renting a boat to go to the buoy to fix it. Another important issue, is that there is no real-time monitoring of the buoys at this moment. Only by physically visiting the object on the water, one gains insight in its status.

IoT Based Asset Tracking System
The existing system used by the customer could only track a few thousand assets and was able to generate only a few standard set of reports. As the number of assets tracked grew exponentially, the system started to break at the seams. The Tracking devices were from different manufacturers following different protocols. There was no proper integration among the devices to send instant alerts. There are thousands of tracking devices spread across multiple geographies, that are moving. The configuration and troubleshooting of these devices incurred heavy costs, which was a logistics challenge. The existing system did not provide sophisticated Analytics, Business Intelligence and Insights from the data
