About The Customer
Adam Transporte is a family-owned business based in the southern part of Germany. The company specializes in transporting a wide range of vehicles, including buses, RVs, and special utility vehicles. The company is certified according to ISO 9001, indicating its commitment to quality management. The company has a strong focus on digital transformation, with a particular emphasis on efficient and automated document management. The company uses a specialized email system, David, and most of their suppliers issue invoices in a digital form.
The Challenge
Adam Transporte, a family business based in Germany, specializes in transporting all kinds of vehicles. The company was looking for an ECM software that could seamlessly connect to their specialized email system, David. Most of their suppliers issue invoices in a digital form, with only a few incoming A/P invoices arriving by post. The direct and automated processing of the documents in a digital workflow was therefore of highest priority. When they did a head-to-head comparison, DocuWare‘s solution came out on top in part because of its Connect-to-Mail functionality and Intelligent Indexing Service.
The Solution
Adam Transporte implemented DocuWare Cloud as their ECM software. The solution was selected for its seamless connection to their specialized email system, David, and its Connect-to-Mail functionality and Intelligent Indexing Service. The company uses both a document scanner and a Ricoh multifunction device to capture paper-based invoices and relevant freight documents. These documents are digitized via barcode recognition and automatically stored in a central document pool. The digital filing of outgoing invoices was also successfully tested. These invoices are immediately available to the accounting staff for further processing steps, like verifying payments received.

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

Digitize Railway with Deutsche Bahn
To reduce maintenance costs and delay-causing failures for Deutsche Bahn. They need manual measurements by a position measurement system based on custom-made MEMS sensor clusters, which allow autonomous and continuous monitoring with wireless data transmission and long battery. They were looking for data pre-processing solution in the sensor and machine learning algorithms in the cloud so as to detect critical wear.

Cold Chain Transportation and Refrigerated Fleet Management System
1) Create a digital connected transportation solution to retrofit cold chain trailers with real-time tracking and controls. 2) Prevent multi-million dollar losses due to theft or spoilage. 3) Deliver a digital chain-of-custody solution for door to door load monitoring and security. 4) Provide a trusted multi-fleet solution in a single application with granular data and access controls.
Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
