关于客户
Gilt Groupe is an online retailer that provides access, by invitation only, to Men’s, Women’s and Children’s coveted fashion and luxury brands at prices up to 70 percent off retail. Each sale lasts 36 hours and features hand selected styles from a single designer. From Valentino to Tibi and John Varvatos, Gilt Groupe offers a selection of merchandise at a range of prices. The company has millions of unique visitors to its website and over 5,000 requests per second during peak periods. A 10-minute downtime could result in the loss of a large percentage of its daily profits.
挑战
Gilt Groupe, an online retailer with millions of unique visitors to its website and over 5,000 requests per second during peak periods, was facing the challenge of potential loss of a large percentage of its daily profits due to just 10 minutes of downtime. The company was looking for a way to ensure a consistently excellent customer experience, increase revenue, and decrease back-end costs. They decided that moving to a cloud environment would provide the flexibility, scalability, and speed of deployment they needed. However, they faced several challenges in moving their architecture into a cloud environment.
解决方案
Gilt Groupe decided to move to virtualization with Brocade as their traffic management solution. They implemented Brocade Virtual Traffic Manager and Brocade Virtual Web Application Firewall in their cloud environment. The company was able to set up additional servers in minutes and also run more redundancy across a larger number of physical servers. The Brocade solutions were easy to operate and worked well, from details like SSL Certificates to preventing fault tolerance in the cluster. Gilt Groupe also used the Brocade subscription model to roll out a larger number of Brocade servers. They implemented a multitier, service-oriented architecture, with multiple independent clusters all managed from Brocade. This allows them to manage all aspects of the infrastructure with a common, reliable load balancer and content cache.

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.
