Parcel Delivery Company Seeks a Way to Simulate & Pre-Test
Case StudyClient Overview
One of the worlds largest parcel delivery companies was rapidly growing and opening facilities around the world.
Challenge
To ensure each of their new systems were functional before they went live, they needed a way to accurately simulate package movement and pre-test automation controls messaging, prior to parcels actually moving throughout the facility.
Solution
Pyramid Solutions’ Network Connectivity Team met with the parcel company on a number of different occasions to understand their goals, define the project requirements and create a dependable development strategy.
Engineers from the parcel company and Pyramid Solutions joined together to develop a system simulator software that ran on standard PC/Windows platforms. The solution interfaced with third-party industrial controllers to prevent any changes to the existing logic programming. It was intuitive so customer personnel could quickly learn and use it. The client currently uses the software to pre-test systems at different facilities before going live – saving them the time and money and improving overall customer satisfaction.
