关于客户
Wesfarmers is one of Australia’s largest companies with operations that include supermarkets, department stores, home improvement and office supplies, coal production and export, chemicals, energy and fertilizers, and industrial and safety products. Revenue for 2014 was $A60.18 billion and staff numbered 200,000 plus. The group’s best-known brands are in retail, including household names such as Coles Supermarkets, Target, Kmart, Officeworks, and Bunnings Warehouse, the leading retailer of home improvement and outdoor living products in Australia and New Zealand. Coles Supermarkets alone has 765 stores nationwide, serviced by 100,000 plus staff. Wesfarmers Limited, the group’s holding company, has a staff of around 250.
挑战
Based in Perth, Western Australia, Wesfarmers Limited needed to replace a Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2006. The reverse proxy device, which enabled access to internal websites and an Exchange server, was nearing its end of life and support. The company required a virtual device compatible with their VMware virtualized environment to ensure approximately 250 head office staff could rely on web access and receive mobile emails without issue. Wesfarmers undertook a careful evaluation process, checking offerings from multiple vendors including F5, Bluecoat, Riverbed Stingray, and Websense. After review, the company chose an A10 Networks vThunder virtual appliance for its cost-effectiveness, scalability, and range of functionality.
解决方案
Wesfarmers selected the vThunder ADC line to provide expansion capabilities, fitting easily into its existing VMware virtualized infrastructure without requiring new hardware. The vThunder ADC offers rapid deployment, consolidated infrastructure, and high performance with no feature limitations. Each vThunder ADC virtual appliance includes all available ADC or Carrier Grade Networking (CGN) features, with versions licensed by bandwidth up to 8 Gbps on commodity hardware, or aggregate throughput up to 100 Gbps on A10 Networks Thunder HVA hybrid virtual appliances. Additional advantages include dynamic service chaining, granular policy enforcement, support for high-density multi-tenancy architecture, and dynamic provisioning and operation. The vThunder ADC reduces capital expenditure and operational costs by allowing more efficient use of resources.

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

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.
Case Study
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.
