About The Customer
Dubai Marine Beach Resort & Spa is a luxury beachfront property located in the United Arab Emirates. Known for its opulent amenities and exceptional guest services, the resort features 17 food and beverage outlets, each offering a unique dining experience. The resort attracts a diverse clientele, including tourists, business travelers, and local residents, all seeking a high-quality hospitality experience. The resort's management is committed to maintaining high standards of service and operational efficiency, which is why they sought to upgrade their point-of-sale (POS) technology. The goal was to enhance guest service and streamline staff workflows, thereby improving overall operational efficiency. The resort partnered with Agilysys, a leading technology company specializing in hospitality solutions, to implement a new POS system that would meet these objectives. Simplified Solutions, an authorized distributor for Agilysys InfoGenesis, facilitated the implementation, leveraging their expertise in hospitality software sales and services in the Middle East.
The Challenge
The Dubai Marine Beach Resort & Spa faced several challenges in their food and beverage outlets. Firstly, service inefficiency was a major issue as servers spent a lot of time running back and forth between the kitchen, the POS terminal, and the guests, making it difficult to meet guest needs effectively. Secondly, there was a lack of reporting capabilities, which meant that management had little to no access to essential report data for managing multiple outlets. This limited their ability to adjust operations to streamline guest service. Lastly, insufficient connectivity was a problem; both managers and servers were limited by the functionality of their Wi-Fi service, and when it went down, so did the POS system. The leadership at Dubai Marine Beach Resort & Spa aimed to improve guest service and efficiency in their food and beverage outlets. They sought a technology solution that would provide consistent connectivity and greater mobility, even during their busiest periods.
The Solution
To address the challenges, Dubai Marine Beach Resort & Spa implemented Agilysys InfoGenesis® POS and InfoGenesis® Flex. These solutions provided both fixed and mobile point-of-sale technologies, significantly improving the management of their 17 food and beverage outlets. The new system allowed servers to capture up-to-the-minute guest and server performance data, offering reporting flexibility and enabling on-the-go operations management. One of the key features of the solution was its straightforward user interface, which was much easier to use compared to the previous POS technology. This led to significant time savings in all food and beverage outlets, as servers could now spend more time attending to guests rather than running back and forth between the kitchen and the POS terminal. The solution also offered offline functionality, allowing servers to continue entering orders and processing payments even if the Wi-Fi was inconsistent. This ensured that operations could continue smoothly without any interruptions. Additionally, managers now had access to up-to-the-minute business data, whether they were on the floor or working remotely. This improved their ability to manage multiple outlets effectively and make data-driven decisions to enhance guest service. The cost-effectiveness of the solution was another advantage, as it was comparatively better priced than other POS systems with similar features.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

Goldcorp: Internet of Things Enables the Mine of the Future
Goldcorp is committed to responsible mining practices and maintaining maximum safety for its workers. At the same time, the firm is constantly exploring ways to improve the efficiency of its operations, extend the life of its assets, and control costs. Goldcorp needed technology that can maximize production efficiency by tracking all mining operations, keep employees safe with remote operations and monitoring of hazardous work areas and control production costs through better asset and site management.
Case Study
Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.

Remote Monitoring and Control for a Windmill Generator
As concerns over global warming continue to grow, green technologies are becoming increasingly popular. Wind turbine companies provide an excellent alternative to burning fossil fuels by harnessing kinetic energy from the wind and converting it into electricity. A typical wind farm may include over 80 wind turbines so efficient and reliable networks to manage and control these installations are imperative. Each wind turbine includes a generator and a variety of serial components such as a water cooler, high voltage transformer, ultrasonic wind sensors, yaw gear, blade bearing, pitch cylinder, and hub controller. All of these components are controlled by a PLC and communicate with the ground host. Due to the total integration of these devices into an Ethernet network, one of our customers in the wind turbine industry needed a serial-to-Ethernet solution that can operate reliably for years without interruption.
