About The Customer
The Seattle Seahawks are a professional American football team based in Seattle, Washington. They are a member of the National Football League (NFL) and compete in the league's NFC West division. The team is known for its passionate fan base, often referred to as the '12th Man,' and has a history of strong performances, including multiple Super Bowl appearances and a championship win. The Seahawks' home games are played at CenturyLink Field, a venue known for its loud and energetic atmosphere. The team also has a sister club, the Seattle Sounders Football Club, which competes in Major League Soccer (MLS). Both teams are committed to providing an exceptional fan experience, which includes offering a wide range of team merchandise and souvenirs through their pro shops.
The Challenge
In National Football League (NFL) pro shops, every home game is like Black Friday with a limited amount of time to sell as much merchandise as possible. To meet this challenge, this season, the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks and their sister team, the Seattle Sounders Football Club of Major League Soccer (MLS), are deploying Honeywell technology to help their fans can get the team gear and souvenirs they want. The technology upgrade was part of a complete pro shop remodel, which reported record sales with virtually no lines during the season’s grand opening event.
The Solution
The solution includes Honeywell’s Captuvo SL22 enterprise sleds, which transform an Apple iPod Touch into a mobile retailing tool, along with technology from eMobilePOS and POSitive Technology. The Captuvo SL22 has a built-in barcode scanner and credit card reader, enabling fast and efficient transactions. This technology allows associates to engage with customers throughout the store, reducing checkout lines and increasing productivity. The Captuvo also integrates with the store’s inventory system, providing accurate knowledge of merchandise levels and additional protection for the iPod. eMobilePOS created an application for the Apple iOS that facilitates payments and barcode scans for the iPod when docked inside the Captuvo SL22 sled. This integration was straightforward and trouble-free, allowing for quick deployment and minimal training time for associates.

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.

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.
