About The Customer
Nissan Saudi Arabia is a National Sales Company established in November 2015. The company has a strong heritage in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that dates back to the 1950s. Nissan appointed Petromin Nissan in 2016 as the official authorized retail dealer in the Kingdom, offering service with Nissan trained technicians and Nissan genuine parts, at more than 700 service points throughout Saudi Arabia and 12 showrooms. In May 2019, Nissan also appointed Manahil International as a new specialized dealer in Saudi Arabia, further expanding its sales network across the Kingdom with over 98 Identified Independent Retailers. Manahil International, a Mohamed Yousuf Naghi & Brothers Group Company, focuses on fleet sales for Nissan as well as government and business enterprises.
The Challenge
Nissan Saudi Arabia, with a strong heritage dating back to the 1950s, has always prided itself on catering to customers’ needs, creating positive interactions, and building a positive brand image. However, the company faced a challenge in finding the right communication method to cater to customers 24/7. The primary communication channel was a call center, where queries were routed from a website-based chatbot. Due to working hours limitations, customers were not catered to around the clock. The previous chatbot was only available via one channel and accessed through their main website. Analysis of the chatbot user behavior revealed that it was limiting customer penetration to Nissan Saudi Arabia’s services and products. The company realized the impact of delay in response time on customer experience and sought to adopt new communication channels to champion two-way communication with customers.
The Solution
To improve customer engagement and support customers 24/7, Nissan Saudi Arabia introduced an AI-based chatbot service on the verified WhatsApp Business Platform. The choice of WhatsApp was due to its popularity in Saudi Arabia, with over 75% penetration rate. The company chose Infobip’s WhatsApp Business Platform due to its analytical capabilities and technical expertise. Infobip catered to all Nissan Saudi Arabia’s requirements with high flexibility and scalability and offered a secure platform that meets all Nissan Saudi Arabia’s business communications needs. The WhatsApp Business Platform enabled Nissan Saudi Arabia to support customers 24/7 while catering to their automotive needs securely, offering always-on support, and sending updates in real-time. In November 2020, Nissan Saudi Arabia deployed WhatsApp Business API to enhance customer engagement, increase trust, and build long-lasting relationships with customers.

Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).
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
