Integration
Our solution has the flexibility to fit the Customer's strategy, including the total outsourcing of the activities involved.
The options offered cover:
A. Consulting:
Initially, the planning of actions has great importance, especially when there is a need to integrate other components of the current infrastructure (legacy systems). The prior identification of the processes to be encompassed, their characteristics, equipment, processes and data that must be homologated, has fundamental importance for the success of the implementation. Secondly, improvements and evolutions, with possible inclusion of new equipment and processes, may require a new round of evaluations. TLM, through this consultancy, is able and available to support customers in their technical and strategic decisions, where there is interference in the process from the data capture stage to the presentation of results and their monitoring.
B. Tailor-made projects:
TLM can take charge of the elaboration of the whole project of automation of the collection and treatment of data. In addition, it coordinates with the client's team the definition of parameters and limits to be monitored in each of the different sensors involved in the operational process. It also participates in the definition of policies to be followed in case of non-compliance, and the activities that must be triggered in its occurrence, including the interface with the available kind of communication (cellular, email, SMS, etc.).
C. Partnerships:
To carry out projects of this magnitude TLM is always expanding its network of partnerships, taking into account the interest of its clients. At the same time, provides services to the partners, acting in joint activities, to always be up to date with the technological reality of its products.
D. Data Communication Networks:
In addition to the consolidated technologies, IoT applications are using new, more flexible technologies that use frequency in the unregulated range, so it is out of the requirements, so stringent for other applications. However, it is defined by the Federal Regulators to issue norms to discipline the use. Aware of this reality, TLM has sought to develop its projects, at the same time as it seeks to prevent, and to its clients, from possible interferences. In order to do so, TLM is building a network dedicated to this type of use, which can be shared by other users for their specific applications, even developed and operated. Thus, even though it is an unregulated band, TLM offers communication services in this frequency range, which will certainly suit future regulations.
E. IaaS - Infrastructure as Services:
The elements of the solution can be used as services, it means, may not require investments in the equipment and infrastructure. The customer can use it, integrated with all the necessary services support. This modality of contracting exempts the direct investments, that is, it becomes the Capex in Opex, being able, in certain cases, to bring tributary advantages.
F. Integrated Products:
In order to be able to operate together, there is a need to make some adjustments and to determine details in terms of their communication protocols, among others. Thus, TLM has special technical resources in order to minimize the possibility of failure in the operation of the integral solution. Special attention should be given in cases where legacy systems in operation should interact with new devices.
G. Installation Support
Projects of this nature involve the integration of different environments and different technologies. To meet these challenges, TLM has a multidisciplinary team capable of supporting the entire installation process, from Site Survey to the final stage of approval and "assisted operation".
H.Operation Support
System are living organisms, mainly by the frequent updating they undergo, changes in processes, technology and teams. For this reason, support for the operation is of vital importance, including not only clarifying doubts and solving problems, but also implementing the changes brought about by the changes and their training, both updating for current operators and training for new operators.
I. Monitoring
Once a sensing network is installed, an immense amount of information arises, with a very rich evaluation potential. However, day-to-day operations require attention and at the same time monitoring their execution and validation, meeting the performance standards established in the Performance Indicator (KPI) and Service Level Agreement (SLA). At the same time, to the extent that monitoring is distributed across all activities, the potential need arises for such controls to be centralized. Using automation tools, for example, you can detect faults and critical points that need to be actuated in order to obtain improvements and corrections more quickly. With the integration of functions, steps can be taken to reduce the response time to such unforeseeable events. Without them, you cannot diagnose problems, such as poor scalability. Thus, activity tends to be overloaded with loss of effectiveness and decreased quality of access to vital services such as cloud computing and remote storage.
