About The Customer
Ubisoft is a leading producer, publisher, and distributor of interactive entertainment products worldwide. They have 15 in-house production studios located in 11 countries. The Montreal studio employs 1,600 staff members and plans to grow to over 3,000 people.
The Solution
Ubisoft implemented Helix Core as their main source control tool, used by both programmers and artists. They utilized the Helix Visual Client and its associated graphical tools for tracking changes in graphics and animation files. They also integrated the Helix Core API into their in-house tools to simplify the workflow of artists and modelers. The Helix Core branching mechanism allowed for sharing code across different game platforms. Ubisoft also utilized the Helix Reporting System for creating reports on digital assets and code. The Perforce Proxy improved development speed and distributed development.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
