Azima DLIs Kenneth Piety, Ph. D. and David Geswein, BS, M.E. wrote this white paper to educate readers about how cloud computing can improve the efficiency, uptime and transparency of maintenance operations. The white paper contains an explanation of cloud computings applications within the maintenance industry as well as three case studies that showcase the technologys potential.

The predictive maintenance industry stands to gain more from the cloud revolution than most any other industry, said Piety. In fact, the cloud is already opening up many possibilities in the world of PdM in terms of centralizing data, improving collaboration and increasing access and transparency of diagnostic data to improve the timeliness of maintenance and repairs.

According to the white paper, moving PdM to the cloud will revolutionize the industry in

several critical areas:


????Centralization – Data is leveraged more efficiently
????Collaboration – Multiple people can share the same information
????Communication – Because email alerts, text messages, and even automated phone calls are possible, the profile of PdM within an organization is raised
????Transparency – More people in the organization are exposed to the PdM process and can clearly see the benefits

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) November 29, 2011

Thru, Inc. today announced that R.J. Burnside and Associates is successfully using Thrus managed file transfer enterprise connector for Lotus Notes to easily exchange and track sensitive files across the globe. A leading Canadian Engineering Consultancy with over 300 employees, R.J. Burnside, has incorporated Thrus file transfer solution directly into their existing email process, replacing insecure legacy FTP servers.

Built on a robust and resilient high-speed content delivery network with a 100% uptime SLA, Thrus enterprise connector for Lotus Notes eliminates the file size and file management limitations in email, enabling organizations to expand the use of their Lotus Notes messaging environment to achieve greater value, efficiency and utilization.

With an unequivocal commitment to its global clients, R.J. Burnside made the decision to move away from their FTP servers to provide a better user experience for its customers and to alleviate the time the IT department spent setting up accounts and troubleshooting the procedure.????

After extensive evaluations of available solutions, R.J. Burnside chose Thrus Managed File Transfer service with the Lotus Notes Connector, because it was the only solution that effectively integrated with Lotus Notes without affecting the Domino Server, and because Thru was the only company that successfully delivered the proof-of-concept that R.J. Burnside had specified.

From ITs perspective we have saved a significant amount of time because we are not having to deal with setting up accounts and making sure our clients are able to connect and understand how to use FTP, said Mark Brennan, Information Technology Manager at R.J. Burnside. Our employees are saving time because they dont have to involve IT at all, they just do it themselves. And our customers and clients like it because they just get a link and it works.

R.J. Burnside is now using the solution for a project in Mozambique. They are managing and tracking large files sent via Lotus Notes between the HQ in Ontario and offices in southeast Africa, eliminating all FTP servers and resulting in greatly improved workflow and efficiency.????

We have been struggling so long doing it the old fashioned way, with an FTP server, that Thru was a nice fresh breath of air for us, Brennan added. Our account rep did his best to make sure we got what we were looking for, and that really helped in making a decision for us.

Racine, WI (PRWEB) November 18, 2011

Case IH will expand its Advanced Farming Systems (AFS) precision farming offering by introducing a new GPS receiver and new variable-rate controller and telematics systems and AFS software. Earlier this week at Agritechnica in Hanover, Germany, Case IH unveiled an expanded AFS software package, AccuControl rate controller technology, the AFS 372 receiver and AFS Connect telematics.

These four Case IH AFS products represent the first new offering resulting from the formation of our dedicated precision farming business unit and expanded Case IH and Trimble joint development relationship, says Trevor Mecham, Case IH AFS Marketing Manager. In addition, these products will soon be supported by a dedicated 24/7/365 user support team based in multiple corporate engineering facilities throughout the world, including our local team based in Burr Ridge, Illinois.

Representing the first commercial telematics launch for Case IH, AFS Connect provides wireless connectivity to our Pro 600 and Pro 700 display through cellular data. AFS Connect will provide up-to-date information regarding fleet management, a virtual display of cab monitors in the office, performance analysis, file management received from the field, and two-way messaging, among other key features.

The all-new Case IH AFS software suite will greatly expand upon the current capabilities of AFS desktop software, while also interfacing seamlessly with previously collected AFS data. At launch, the Case IH AFS software offering will include five packages designed to work together seamlessly and meet a variety of needs.


AFS View allows producers to view and track their data with a customized list of farms and fields, which can then be shared with precision farming devices for data management.

AFS Mapping & Records can accumulate yield, moisture and application data and track and/or print field records for restricted-use chemicals, fertilizer applications, equipment maintenance, crop plans, invoices and more.

AFS Accounting integrates all farm financial records for easy production cost comparison, enabling producers to make more informed decisions to improve farm profitability.

AFS Water Management helps users identify optimal placement of tile and surface drains in both surface and sub-surface drainage water management projects.

AFS Mobile streamlines data management in the field by bundling record keeping, mapping, soil sampling and variable rate application into one software solution that is easily portable and allows producers to access important information anytime and anywhere.

Using the new AFS AccuControl rate controller technology, Case IH AFS Pro 600 and AFS Pro 700 display users can vary sprayer, spreader, planter and seeder rates or turn implement sections, including non-Case IH implements, on and off.

Case IH recognizes that customers make use of multiple tools in their operation, so we are continually striving to find ways to simplify the process, Mecham notes. Variable rate and section control can yield significant input cost savings and enhanced yield characteristics, so our customers require this functionality across their fleet.

The Case IH AccuControl manages a wide variety of applications and creates as-applied maps:

Planters: Controls up to four sections and up to 48 rows for individual row shut off; manual configuration of section and row orientations and variable rate seeding at up to four different section rates

Sprayers & anhydrous/strip till applicators: Controls up to four rates and 48 boom sections; multiple-product variable rate control for up to four different liquid, anhydrous and dry granular products

Self-propelled and trailing spinner spreaders: Multi-product variable rate control on up to four different liquid or dry products

The new Case IH AFS 372 receiver is a combined GPS and GLONASS integrated receiver/antenna. By combining the functionality of the U.S. GPS and Russian GLONASS (Global Orbiting Navigation Satellite System) systems, the AFS 372 receiver has the capability to include up to 44 satellites in a position solution, resulting in improved uptime during crucial field operations.

More than ever before, producers are counting on a reliable GPS signal during crucial planting, seeding, fertilizing and harvesting windows, says Mecham. With an ever growing world population that passed seven billion just a couple weeks ago, the increased signal reliability of the Case IH 372 is needed.

Case IH customers can use the differential correction option and accuracy thats best for their operation. The AFS 372 supports RTK correction sources such as Trimble VRS, CORS and traditional RTK via radio transmission. It is also compatible with CenterPoint RTX, DGPS corrections such as EGNOS, WAAS, and MSAS, as well as OmniSTAR? corrections VBS, XP and HP.

The AFS 372 receiver replaces the AFS 252 and AFS 262, so integrating it into current equipment is quick and easy.

The new receiver will be available as a factory-installed option in April 2012. The new AFS software, AFS AccuControl and AFS Connect, along with our dedicated support team, will also come online later this spring.

Case IH is a global leader in agricultural equipment, committed to collaborating with its customers to develop the most powerful, productive, reliable equipment designed to meet todays agricultural challenges. Challenges like feeding an expanding global population on less land, meeting ever-changing government regulations and managing input costs. With headquarters in the United States, Case IH has a network of dealers and distributors that operates in over 160 countries. Case IH provides agricultural equipment systems, flexible financial service offerings and parts and service support for professional farmers and commercial operators through a dedicated network of professional dealers and distributors. Productivity enhancing products include tractors; combines and harvesters; hay and forage equipment; tillage tools; planting and seeding systems; sprayers and applicators; site-specific farming tools and utility vehicles.
