SUCCESS STORIES
The CONNECT Effect in action
- City of Salem
- HENN
- YINSON
- ZGlobal
See how the City of Salem, Oregon, adopted CONNECT data services to aggregate diverse data sources for predicting and preventing harmful algae blooms, ensuring safe drinking water for residents.
“How do you do collaboration well? The cloud. It’s not just your people and partners, but all your systems."
Goals
- Provide data accessibility and interoperability without compromising network security
- Improve collaboration and interoperability
- Leverage analytics and predictive modeling to improve water quality and predict harmful algal blooms (HAB)
Challenges
- Bridging the IT firewall securely to enable data sharing outside of the organization
The CONNECT Effect
- Data from the lake, local weather, and USGS (U.S. Geological Survey) now securely shared with external partners
- Predictive analytics allow the water utility to forecast in real time and prevent cyanotoxins entering the water supply
- Low-cost software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution
- Common data platform for a single source of truth
Solution
HENN employed CONNECT data services and Edge Data Store to enhance its data architecture. These solutions enabling real-time assembly line insights to improve the quality of its crucial charged air connectors and ensure major automotive brands’ reliability.
“We were able to increase overall efficiency by 10%. Now, we can trace one single part, almost in real time. We could also benchmark the suppliers of the sealing element [used to make the connector] in real time and compare their performances. It’s kind of a gamification that encourages competition and increases quality."
Goals
- Improve the quality of manufactured parts
- Collect and provide real-time data sharing with internal stakeholders (analysts) and external stakeholders in the supply chain (suppliers and equipment manufacturers)
- Improve visibility into asset conditions to drive efficiency gains
Challenges
- Improving component quality is key to customer satisfaction and a valuable differentiator
- Establishing the cause of part failure was difficult due to outdated legacy systems and uncontextualized data
- Flexibility to combine time-series data with other types of data, like part numbers
The CONNECT Effect
- Reporting time decreased from two days to two minutes, contributing an to overall efficiency gain of 10%
- Real-time data is collected and accessible in the cloud, enabling quality issues to be quickly identified and managed
- Data sharing among suppliers further encourages improved quality
- Flexible SaaS-based subscription licensing model provides assurance of the most cost-effective approach as software needs fluctuate
Solution
Yinson enhanced its data management and operational efficiency by integrating AVEVA™ PI System™ with AVEVA™ Engineering, supporting its growth and advancing towards net-zero emissions by 2050.
“By implementing AVEVA PI System, we were actually able to collect real-time data from the assets in operation."
Goals
- Streamline complex vessel design
- Structure and analyze data to enable analysis and optimization
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030
Challenges
- Growing number and size of assets across the globe made it difficult to control data
- Duration and multidisciplinary nature of projects hampered data sharing and collaboration
- Capturing greenhouse gas emissions across operations to calculate baseline for future reductions
The CONNECT Effect
- Increased real-time data enables more efficient maintenance
- Data integration empowers increased collaboration across teams
- Moved from monthly calculations of greenhouse gas emissions to daily monitoring
Solution
ZGlobal, an energy consulting firm, partnered with SVCE, an energy provider, to adopt CONNECT data services, creating a secure data-sharing ecosystem that streamlines data exchange and increases collaboration with power producers.
“I can’t undersell the value of being able to integrate generator and scheduler data to give us a holistic view. It has lowered our overhead while we are bootstrapping."
Goals
- To securely transmit energy data in real time, ensuring a unified perspective for all stakeholders
- To provide a single view of information to all partners to reinforce trust across the grid
- To empower partners with immediate, secure access to essential data, optimizing the entire energy network's performance
Challenges
- Diverse entities within the energy network sought access to the power producer's rich data reserves, each with unique demands
- Traditional methods of data exchange proved proved cumbersome and inefficient, and raised data security issues
The CONNECT Effect
- Leveraging the CONNECT data services to unlock significant savings on power purchases
- Simplified information flow amongst multiple organizations, enhancing transparency, collaboration and trust
- Enhanced security protocols ensured a safe transmission of data, bolstering the network's resilience and reliability
ZGlobal and SVCE harnessed the CONNECT Effect to spark a revolution in data exchange, setting a new benchmark for connectivity and security in the energy sphere.
