About The Customer
Fuba Printed Circuits Tunisie SA (Fuba) is one of the largest and most technologically advanced producers of double-sided, plated, through-hole and multi-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs). Founded in 1991, the company has sales locations in Europe, the United States, Mexico, Brazil, China and Australia. Fuba is ISO 9001 and 14001 certified and TS16949 certified, and enjoys the tax exemption benefits of the free trade agreement between Tunisia and the European Union. The company has more than doubled in size since implementing Paradigm ERP and is planning an investment within the next two years that will increase capacity by another 40 percent to 50 percent.
The Challenge
Fuba Printed Circuits Tunisie SA (Fuba) is one of the largest and most technologically advanced producers of double-sided, plated, through-hole and multi-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs). As a fast-growing manufacturer of PCBs, Fuba found it increasingly difficult to keep up with a growing flow of orders and production using only spreadsheets and manual processes. They needed an integrated system to bring business information together. The company was also looking for a system that could link production with engineering and support the implementation of best practices.
The Solution
After an extensive survey of the market, Fuba decided to purchase Paradigm® ERP, a Cimnet solution offered by Aptean Corporation. The decision was made in large part because of Paradigm’s industry-specific functionality, Cimnet’s focus on PCB manufacturing and its other PCB industry focused offerings for engineering and quoting. In addition, many of Fuba’s competitors also use Paradigm ERP. Fuba is in the early stages of implementing Cimnet’s Engenix engineering package to integrate design data with Paradigm. In addition, Fuba hopes to decrease pre-production time by automating its engineering processes with Engenix.

Remote Temperature Monitoring of Perishable Goods Saves Money
RMONI was facing temperature monitoring challenges in a cold chain business. A cold chain must be established and maintained to ensure goods have been properly refrigerated during every step of the process, making temperature monitoring a critical business function. Manual registration practice can be very costly, labor intensive and prone to mistakes.

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.
