关于客户
Founded in Hong Kong in 1987, Bossini Enterprises has expanded rapidly to become a leading clothing retailer in the Asia-Pacific region. Today, the company operates more than 1,000 stores in about 30 countries. Bossini defines speed and efficiency as a strategic differentiator in the fast-paced fashion industry. The company wanted to have better visibility into its business and operational processes by synchronizing real-time data across multiple orders, shipments and stock-keeping units (SKUs). However, the data resided in a number of systems, from point-of-sale (POS) solutions to Bossini’s warehouse management inventory. In order to achieve its goals, Bossini had to integrate a series of platforms including the old and new versions of its Oracle application and the company’s legacy platform.
挑战
To keep ahead in the fast-moving fashion industry, Bossini wanted to have better visibility into its business and operational processes by synchronizing real-time data across multiple orders, shipments and stock-keeping units (SKUs). However, the data resided in a number of systems, from point-of-sale (POS) solutions to Bossini’s warehouse management inventory. In order to achieve its goals, Bossini had to integrate a series of platforms including the old and new versions of its Oracle application and the company’s legacy platform. During the transition from legacy system to SOA, the company’s different platforms had to be integrated. Other applications like the company’s new POS system had to be connected not only to its new Warehouse Management System (WMS), but also to the old POS because the company was still in the midst of systems migration.
解决方案
Bossini selected Software AG’s webMethods Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) to address its requirements. As a proven solution with demonstrated scalability and a robust architecture, the webMethods ESB enables Bossini to minimize the risks involved in such a large-scale integration project. At the same time, its support for industry standards ensures greater ease of integration with internal applications and third-party trading partners. With the webMethods ESB, Bossini is able to take full advantage of the standards-based interfaces to integrate with their existing systems and utilize service orchestration to connect their existing systems to their processes. This allows Bossini to speed up the deployment of new applications and processes and bring new partners on board much more quickly. Subsequent changes are also easier to implement, and the company enjoys cost savings resulting from the re-use of the service components.

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.
