About The Customer
FilterFiller.com is an online air filter supply business based in Oxford, Mississippi. The company was founded by Jeff Berry, a homeowner who experienced the inconvenience and high cost of failing to change his home's air filters regularly. FilterFiller.com offers a simple solution to this problem. Customers can schedule the recurring shipment of their new filters for as long as they own their home. The company tracks more than 200 SKUs and keeps their inventory in an old medical building, sorted by air filter quality to simplify the picking process. The company's concept is to deliver the right filters to the customers on the scheduled day, without the customers having to worry about it again.
The Challenge
FilterFiller.com, an online air filter supply business, was facing challenges in tracking more than 200 SKUs and managing all the purchasing, picking, packing, and shipping required by the company. They needed an easy-to-use inventory system that could integrate with QuickBooks. Additionally, as a new company, they needed help in the design and layout of their new website. The company was also looking for a solution that could handle their light manufacturing needs and integrate with Magento.
The Solution
FilterFiller.com chose Fishbowl Warehouse as their warehouse management solution because of its QuickBooks integration and numerous inventory tracking features. They also decided to work with DesignForest, a longtime Fishbowl partner for ecommerce Web design and data migration needs. To provide the direct integration to Fishbowl, FilterFiller.com went with the Magento shopping cart integration provided by Sharpe Concepts, another Fishbowl partner. As a result of their Magento shopping cart integration, orders that are processed on the FilterFiller.com website are automatically pushed over to the Fishbowl database along with all the specifications and instructions for each filter. The order is then picked, packed, and shipped to the customer. Fishbowl keeps track of inventory levels and notifies the company when a product needs to be reordered.

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.
