About The Customer
Flextronics is a Fortune Global 500 electronics manufacturing services provider. They offer design, engineering, and manufacturing services to customers in a wide array of industries ranging from automotive to clean tech to consumer goods. Their customer roster includes companies like Dell, Microsoft, Casio, and Xerox, and they have over 200,000 employees with operations in 30 countries across four continents. Flextronics is known for meeting its customers’ needs by using efficient processes, precise quality control measures, and socially responsible practices. Their internal practices, however, were not keeping up. Managing a large, fast-growing global team without centralized or automated processes was inconsistent with the high standards of their customer-facing operations. As a result, Flextronics turned to Workday and Collaborative Solutions to help modernize and simplify their HR needs.
The Challenge
Numerous acquisitions over the years left Flextronics with ownership of over 80 different HR systems and hardly any cohesion from location to location. They wanted a solution to bring more unity to their company. In addition, they did not have automatic reporting, so data accuracy and employee productivity was constantly compromised.
The Solution
An early adopter of Workday, Flextronics chose to deploy HCM as their global, unified HR system. Collaborative Solutions staffed the entire functional team, involving the global workforce in the process and creating better ways for Flextronics employees to do their jobs. Specifically, Collaborative Solutions standardized their HR process worldwide, and implemented employee and manager self-service features to give more power to the workforce.

Leveraging the IoT to Gain a Competitive Edge in International Competition
Many large manufacturers in and outside Japan are competing for larger market share in the same space, expecting a growing demand for projectors in the areas of entertainment, which requires glamor and strong visual performance as well as digital signage that can attract people’s attention. “It is becoming more and more difficult to differentiate ourselves with stand-alone hardware products,” says Kazuyuki Kitagawa, Director of Service & Support at Panasonic AVC Networks. “In order for Panasonic to grow market share and overall business, it is essential for us to develop solutions that deliver significant added value.” Panasonic believes projection failure and quality deterioration should never happen. This is what and has driven them to make their projectors IoT-enabled. More specifically, Panasonic has developed a system that collects data from projectors, visualizes detailed operational statuses, and predicts issues and address them before failure occurs. Their projectors are embedded with a variety of sensors that measure power supply, voltage, video input/ output signals, intake/exhaust air temperatures, cooling fan operations, and light bulb operating time. These sensors have been used to make the projector more intelligent, automatically suspending operation when the temperature rises excessively, and automatically switching light bulbs. Although this was a great first step, Panasonic projectors were still not equipped with any capability to send the data over a network.
