Assignment: “Predictive Maintenance: Automatic alerting”
Vehicle Data:
$ads={1}
All VDL manufactured vehicles are equipped with a Connectivity Control Unit (CCU) which makes the vehicle connected using a 4G and Wi-Fi connection. Hundreds of data signals are sent from each vehicle per second to the VDL Database. These data signals give insight on the vehicle and it’s components. Some examples of the data signals are vehicle speed, energy consumption, battery state of charge, battery temperature, GPS coordinates, cabin temperature and many more…
Predictive Maintenance is a topic of interest, especially when more than 1000 electric VDL buses are in operation. Detecting points of failure of components can reduce vehicle operation downtime and costs. In this assignment you will analyze incoming vehicle data in our Azure data platform, find and investigate thresholds from the raw data which indicate a possible issue or potential failure, determine the severity of the issue, and automatically send a notification to Salesforce to notify the after sales department.
Specializations:
- Microsoft Azure;
- Salesforce.
Addressed Competencies:
- Python, PySpark, SQL, Automotive knowledge, Data analysis, Troubleshooting;
- Communication, Teamwork, Presenting, Problem Solving.
Requirements:
- Investigate the integration between the Azure data platform with Salesforce to automatically generate cases when data is outside of the thresholds;
- Proof of concept of the integration;
- Implementation of the integration;
- Work closely with our developers, on field technicians and after sales to bring your solution to a working product.
- Defining situations that should trigger a case in Salesforce:
- Threshold values;
- Severity of the error;
- Frequency of the error;
- Minimum number of errors before a case is created.
