About The Customer
Harris Integrated Solutions (HIS) is a family-run digital control company that creates efficient, energy-saving solutions for their customers. Their diverse line of products can operate everything from home lighting, to a commercial HVAC system, to a jet air fueling tank. The company manages three service trucks that run all day, every day. The entire day is billable, making productivity in that billable time essential. Profits are given back to employees as bonuses.
The Challenge
Harris Integrated Solutions (HIS) is a digital control company that operates three service trucks that run all day, every day. The company faced challenges in accurately billing for all the costs incurred during a service call, including labor, travel time, and mileage. In the past, some of these costs were often estimated, leading to potential revenue loss. Additionally, monitoring employee activity and verifying the routes and locations of drivers throughout the day was a challenge. HIS also wanted to improve their response time to customers and deliver better communication.
The Solution
HIS implemented Linxup GPS Tracking to manage their service trucks. The system allowed the company to create more accurate billing by providing precise data on travel time and mileage. This led to an immediate increase in productivity and enabled the company to accurately bill for all costs incurred during a service call, thereby increasing revenue for each job. Linxup also provided HIS with the ability to verify the routes and locations of drivers throughout the day, helping to monitor employee activity and reduce excessive personal use of the vehicle. The system also provided insights into each service call, such as idling time, leading to cost-saving advice for the team. Furthermore, Linxup improved HIS's response time to customers and enabled better communication.

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.
