About The Customer
DLF Ltd. is one of India’s largest commercial real estate developers. DLF Promenade, one of the premier retail properties of DLF Ltd., is a premium-brand, fashion-themed shopping mall in Vasant Kunj, an upscale community of more than 100,000 residents located in the Delhi National Capital Region (NCR) of India. The mall occupies more than 4.6 million square feet of real estate and features restaurants, cinemas, an expansive children’s playground and fashionable shops representing many high-end international brands.
The Challenge
DLF Ltd., one of India's largest commercial real estate developers, wanted to enhance the mobile shopping app of the DLF Promenade mall to deliver insights about customers that retailers could use both to enrich the shopping experience and to influence customer behavior. The mall, located in an upscale community of over 100,000 residents in the Delhi National Capital Region (NCR) of India, occupies more than 4.6 million square feet of real estate and features many high-end international brands. The challenge was to help retailers develop a higher conversion ratio of visitors to buyers by providing them with valuable insights about customer behavior.
The Solution
DLF Promenade uses intelligent, location-based technology, device-resident mobile data and cloud-based near-real-time analytics to gain valuable insights about onsite and in-store customer behavior. By performing deep analytics on data extracted from sensors embedded in visitors’ smartphones, the mall lets retailers develop a contextual portrait of customers in near-real time, enabling them to offer effective and timely promotions to help drive sales. The solution drives increased sales by matching a customer’s location to relevant shopping venues, enabling retailers to push near-real-time promotions to influence shopper behavior. It also helps optimize marketing efforts by providing near-real-time insights about which promotions are most attractive to shoppers.

Case Study
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.

Digital Retail Security Solutions
Sennco wanted to help its retail customers increase sales and profits by developing an innovative alarm system as opposed to conventional connected alarms that are permanently tethered to display products. These traditional security systems were cumbersome and intrusive to the customer shopping experience. Additionally, they provided no useful data or analytics.
Case Study
Ensures Cold Milk in Your Supermarket
As of 2014, AK-Centralen has over 1,500 Danish supermarkets equipped, and utilizes 16 operators, and is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. AK-Centralen needed the ability to monitor the cooling alarms from around the country, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Each and every time the door to a milk cooler or a freezer does not close properly, an alarm goes off on a computer screen in a control building in southwestern Odense. This type of alarm will go off approximately 140,000 times per year, equating to roughly 400 alarms in a 24-hour period. Should an alarm go off, then there is only a limited amount of time to act before dairy products or frozen pizza must be disposed of, and this type of waste can quickly start to cost a supermarket a great deal of money.
Case Study
Supermarket Energy Savings
The client had previously deployed a one-meter-per-store monitoring program. Given the manner in which energy consumption changes with external temperature, hour of the day, day of week and month of year, a single meter solution lacked the ability to detect the difference between a true problem and a changing store environment. Most importantly, a single meter solution could never identify root cause of energy consumption changes. This approach never reduced the number of truck-rolls or man-hours required to find and resolve issues.
