About The Customer
The Athenian is an award-winning restaurant chain that specializes in gyros made the Athenian way. Since its establishment in 2014, it has grown from a humble market stall to a network of 16 locations. The Athenian is known for its commitment to quality, using only the best ingredients sourced from partners in Greece and the UK. The restaurant chain is also a strong supporter of important causes, providing free meals to NHS key workers during the pandemic, donating to Greek Animal Rescue after wildfires, and supporting various charities and organizations in Greece. The Athenian has plans for further expansion, with new sites planned in Spain and the UAE.
The Challenge
The Athenian, an award-winning gyros restaurant chain, faced significant challenges with their previous software system. The software had limited customization options and was often difficult to use, leading to frustration among staff. The system would frequently crash, particularly when scheduling staff shifts, which was not up to the high standards set by the business. The Athenian team decided it was time to switch to a software with a better user interface and improved operational experience. They needed a solution that would allow them to monitor staff time with increased accuracy, provide a centralized platform for storing employee documentation, and save time on labor-intensive tasks such as payroll.
The Solution
The Athenian switched to Bizimply, a customizable Human Resource suite that allowed them to store all employee information in one centralized system. This made it extremely convenient for managers to access important documents from any location, eliminating the need to carry physical files. The new system also helped the HR team avoid compliance issues by storing crucial documents like working visas. Bizimply's Time and Attendance feature increased the accuracy of employee time tracking and relieved pressure on HR managers. Staff could clock in and out on an iPad via the Timestation app, and these shift times were automatically sent to timesheets for manager approval. The integration of Bizimply streamlined the day-to-day running of the business, freeing up time for the HR team to focus on other areas such as employee engagement and training opportunities. The Athenian also appreciated Bizimply's seamless integration options, particularly with Tenzo, a performance benchmarking tool they were already using.

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.

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.
