挑战
乔伊设备面临诸多挑战。首先是机器集成和控制。机器的业务端有一个快速旋转的圆柱体，带有6英寸镶钻切割齿。它以每分钟几十吨的速度咀嚼岩石。该系统穿过前面的岩石，形成一个矩形矿道。当机器向前移动时，液压升降器支撑天花板。自动钻头和螺钉将 3 英尺长的螺钉拧入天花板以稳定天花板。岩石和煤炭落入切割筒下方的一组聚集“手指”中。这些手指舀起岩石和煤并将其存放在传送带上。传送带从机器下方穿过并从后面出来。一列长达一英里的传送带车跟随切割机进入矿井。岩石以每分钟超过 400 英尺的速度沿着这列火车喷射，直到最后流入轨道车厢。当前的系统在刀具旁边放置一个操作员笼子。令人窒息的灰尘（潜在爆炸性）、倒塌的风险以及金属和岩石附近的混乱使操作员笼子成为危险场所。
解决方案
新的 14CM Continuous Miner 系统使用 Connext DDS。智能控制算法优化切割压力和速度，跟踪煤层，确保地板和天花板水平，并强制机器限制以减少故障。操作员可以被移回距离动作的安全距离。 Connext DDS 提供从机器所有工作部件到本地反馈控制器的快速数据可用性。 Connext DDS 还可以将数据传送到矿井以进行表面监测。未来，它将一直将机器控制集成到基于云的分析和生产监控系统。软件组件 - Connext DDS 软件

Case Study
Underground Mining Safety
The goal was to produce a safety system to monitor and support underground mining operations; existing systems were either too simple (i.e. phone line) or overly complex and expensive, inhibiting deployment, and providing little-to-no support in event of an accident. Given the dangerous nature of the mining work environment and the strict regulations placed on the industry, the solution would have to comply with Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) regulations. Yet the product needed to allow for simple deployment to truly be a groundbreaking solution - increasing miner safety and changing daily operations for the better.
Case Study
Mining Firm Quadruples Production, with Internet of Everything
Dundee Precious Metal’s flagship mine, in Chelopech, Bulgaria, produces a gold, copper, and silver concentrate set a goal to increase production by 30%. Dundee wanted to increase production quality and output without increasing headcount and resources, improve miner safety, and minimize cost.

Fastenal Builds the Future of Manufacturing with MachineMetrics
Fastenal's objective was to better understand their machine downtime, utilization, quality issues, and to embrace cutting-edge manufacturing technology/process improvement capabilities to bring their team to the next level. However, there was a lack of real-time data, visualization, and actionable insights made this transition impossible.
Case Study
Improved Monitoring in Industrial Manufacturing Facility
When your crane is moving tons of magma-hot iron, you can’t afford an unexpected failure. McWane Ductile knew monitoring the crane motor metrics within their facility could help prevent a mechanical failure that would strand an enormous bucket of molten metal overhead. Unfortunately, their legacy wired monitoring system couldn’t work with moving objects in this extreme environment. If they could integrate wireless capabilities into their existing equipment they could extend their monitoring capabilities without starting over from scratch.
