About The Customer
Raising Cane’s is a fast-casual restaurant brand known for its ONE LOVE® chicken finger meals. The company has built a vibrant culture centered on service, with a highly motivated team of frontline employees referred to as Crew. Raising Cane’s has over 560 locations and a dedicated fan base known as Caniacs. The company emphasizes a great Crew, cool culture, and active community involvement. All employees are required to spend time working various positions in the restaurant every year to stay connected to the restaurant’s roots and operations. The core workforce age ranges from 16 to 22 years old.
The Challenge
Raising Cane’s, a fast-casual restaurant brand, faced the challenge of maintaining a highly motivated and connected workforce across its 560+ locations, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The company needed a way to keep its Crew engaged, informed, and connected despite physical distancing and social restrictions. The challenge was to sustain the vibrant culture of service and community involvement that Raising Cane’s is known for, while also ensuring that employees felt valued and heard.
The Solution
To address the challenge, Raising Cane’s partnered with Firstup to develop a communication and engagement platform called 1LV Crew. Launched in October 2020, the platform quickly became a central hub for employees to connect, share ideas, and stay informed. The platform allows employees to submit thoughts, share fun moments, and stay safe. It also features short video messages from the Co-CEO and COO, AJ Kumaran, highlighting employee contributions and company updates. The platform promotes in-restaurant training, education opportunities, news alerts, and community involvement. Employees are encouraged to share comments, with over 90,000 comments in the first 8 months. The platform also supports Raising Cane’s Active Community Involvement, including donations to healthcare workers and fundraising efforts.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Improving Production Line Efficiency with Ethernet Micro RTU Controller
Moxa was asked to provide a connectivity solution for one of the world's leading cosmetics companies. This multinational corporation, with retail presence in 130 countries, 23 global braches, and over 66,000 employees, sought to improve the efficiency of their production process by migrating from manual monitoring to an automatic productivity monitoring system. The production line was being monitored by ABB Real-TPI, a factory information system that offers data collection and analysis to improve plant efficiency. Due to software limitations, the customer needed an OPC server and a corresponding I/O solution to collect data from additional sensor devices for the Real-TPI system. The goal is to enable the factory information system to more thoroughly collect data from every corner of the production line. This will improve its ability to measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and translate into increased production efficiencies. System Requirements • Instant status updates while still consuming minimal bandwidth to relieve strain on limited factory networks • Interoperable with ABB Real-TPI • Small form factor appropriate for deployment where space is scarce • Remote software management and configuration to simplify operations

How Sirqul’s IoT Platform is Crafting Carrefour’s New In-Store Experiences
Carrefour Taiwan’s goal is to be completely digital by end of 2018. Out-dated manual methods for analysis and assumptions limited Carrefour’s ability to change the customer experience and were void of real-time decision-making capabilities. Rather than relying solely on sales data, assumptions, and disparate systems, Carrefour Taiwan’s CEO led an initiative to find a connected IoT solution that could give the team the ability to make real-time changes and more informed decisions. Prior to implementing, Carrefour struggled to address their conversion rates and did not have the proper insights into the customer decision-making process nor how to make an immediate impact without losing customer confidence.
