Fujitsu’s challenge was to gather customer requirements for increasingly complex products, develop solutions, and test them on schedules that continue to accelerate. To avoid performing tests on outdated designs, Fujitsu’s employees needed better ways to stay informed about ongoing changes in requirements and design that might affect the tests being run.With large numbers of documents to manage it was difficult and time-consuming to make, track and communicate changes. Lack of visibility made it difficult to keep the requirements and test teams in synch, and finding data stored in static documents was a time-consuming process.

With a revenue of over $1 Bn and over 25,000 employees, it is no surprise that they showcased the same level of commitment towards sustainable technology, seeking to provide the best working environment for employees across their facilities.The challenges facing the facility team at LTI Bengaluru were primarily two-fold: a) lack of automation for the HVAC & Lighting system leading to hotspots & coldspots and a high number of employee complaints, which the FM team spent most of their time responding to; and b) energy wastage and high energy bills.

Proper storage plays a vital role in safeguarding the integrity of pharmaceutical products. Many drugs, medicine, and other pharmaceuticals are susceptible to temperature and humidity levels, and as such, have stringent storage requirements.Improper storage can result in medications losing their efficacy or becoming harmful to patients. To avoid deterioration in pharmaceutical product quality, clinic operators must consistently and accurately measure, monitor, and track real-time conditions in pharmaceutical storage cabinets. Controlling these conditions presents a significant challenge for medical facilities, as manually checking temperature and humidity is inefficient and labor-intensive, also carrying the risk of human error in measurement accuracy and reporting. IoT technologies are enabling medical practitioners to automate temperature monitoring of pharmaceutical storage cabinets. As one of the most renowned private medical clinics in Switzerland, the Merian Iselin Clinic sought a reliable and effective method of remotely monitoring and maintaining ideal temperature and humidity conditions within its pharmaceutical storage cabinets.

In the past, it was necessary for inspectors to visually detect minute foreign substances that rarely got mixed in with raw materials (plants) flowing down the production line.The challenges are:1. difficult to detect visually by inspectors - It was necessary for inspectors to visually inspect foreign objects as small as 1mm, which made it difficult to detect them.2. existing inspection devices cannot cope with the problem - In addition to the fact that the foreign matter is microscopic, both the raw material and the foreign matter come in multiple types and colours and have unspecified shapes, so rule-based image inspection systems could not handle them.3. different conditions for each factory and line - The customer has multiple factories and lines, each with different types of foreign matter, different conveyor speeds, and different inspector skills.

Reduce the weight of a metal bracket, without compromising strength

Solebit (MimeCast) provides identification and prevention of zero-day malware and unknown threats.From the moment when we joined the project, there were automation tests designed and developed by the in-house development team. Tests were not useful because every time a developer triggered the tests, it was by hand in a terminal. As the result, the team had a big and complicated file with the results.Also, the tests took more than 20 hours to complete, and the history of the build was also unavailable.The test suite architecture was unscalable, making it difficult to maintain a large number of test machines.The task was to create a simple runner for tests and increase their speed. We learned some valuable lessons. We should have redesigned the architecture to support cloud platform integration, made the tests run much more easily, and generated a clean report with all the necessary details.At the same time, we should propose improvements for the current testing process and made some manual testing, too.

New ERP software was necessary, especially to support HFG’s emphasis on becoming a global player in engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPC(I)) and turn-key contracting.

In the aspect of streamlined production and product quality inspection, it is sometimes necessary for human staff to observe, identify, and discover errors and omissions in the production process. No matter how strong a person's sense of responsibility is or how concentrated he/she is, he/she may be fatigued, neglected, distracted, not to mention, he may turn a blind eye to the mistakes of acquaintances, causing defective products to flow to the market. At the same time, if the all-manual inspection method is adopted on the assembly line, it is not only heavy work but also quite time-consuming. In a modern production line, such an inspection method cannot be accepted, and more importantly, it does not add any value to the production itself.

At Litmus, the biggest challenge the customers face is access to the data they need to fuel machine learning and analytics models. Large scale manufacturers come to Litmus looking for the fastest way to connect to their assets and send data to the cloud.

From the sorting and analysis of past cases of digital construction in the energy field, four problems are often encountered in the process of digital upgrading of the energy industry, including the difficulty of using data in the early stage of construction, the diverse and volatile needs in the middle stage of construction, and the later stage of construction., the lack of continuous operation capability and the mismatch of safety requirements, etc.Data is difficult to use: while the amount of data is exploding, the data chimney still exists. According to the statistical analysis of relevant institutions, about 80% of the data has not been effectively used due to data silos and lack of analysis capabilities.Diverse and volatile demands: supply and demand sides, production links, and business departments have different demands for data usage. Business scenarios are complex and have low fault tolerance, making it difficult to get through the CPS (information physical system).Lack of continuous operation capability: business applications and data construction are separated, and data services cannot cope with rapid changes in business, resulting in a lack of depth and breadth of operational services and a significant drop in customer satisfaction.Mismatched security performance: comprehensive energy services require extensive access to customer data, and it is difficult to avoid data interaction security issues between internal and external networks.

The client wanted to reduce downtime and production losses by effectively prioritizing maintenance activities and proactively replacing components before failure.

In late 2015, a deployed combustion turbine experienced a row two vane failure, which caused massive secondary damage to the compressor, resulting in nearly two months of downtime and up to $30M in repairs costs and lost opportunity. This failure, though rare, is representative of typical catastrophic events that are very difficult to catch. Though the onsite plant operations team had been monitoring the asset, this specific failure mode was previously unknown and very nuanced, and existing alarms did not have enough information for SMEs to properly diagnose it in time.The OEM decided to evaluate SparkCognition’s predictive analytics solution, SparkPredict®, with the following objectives:1. Demonstrate the ability to detect and distinguish operational and anomalous online steady-state conditions based on blind data provided from the turbine.2. Provide additional insights about the key contributing factors to the underlying anomalies.3. Provide a UI that interfaces to live streaming data from the asset.
