关于客户
C&J Clark International (Clarks) 由赛勒斯 (Cyrus) 和詹姆斯 (James) 兄弟于 1825 年创立，是一家全球鞋类设计、制造和零售商，每年销售超过 5000 万双鞋。Clarks 总部位于英国萨默塞特，业务遍及 35 多个国家。该公司的业务依赖于识别消费者想要的鞋子并快速交付。为此，该公司必须快速收集和分析快速增长的客户群的信息。Clarks 依赖于一系列 SAP 应用程序，包括 SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization、SAP ERP 和 SAP Business Warehouse，这些应用程序在虚拟化 IBM Power® 770 服务器和 IBM XIV® 存储上运行。
挑战
Clarks 是一家快速发展的鞋类零售商，需要不断向企业提供反馈，了解哪些产品最受客户欢迎，并利用这些见解来指导未来的设计。该公司将支持其英国业务的 SAP 解决方案扩展到美国和亚洲业务，从而避免管理多个系统的开销并简化其企业范围运营的分析。然而，该公司面临现有存储基础设施的挑战，这会影响批处理时间并可能影响运营。
解决方案
Clarks 要求 IBM 团队使用 Oracle Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) 工具对其存储需求进行分析，结果显示 IBM FlashSystem 存储可以解决公司的挑战。作为第一步，Clarks 在其现有存储基础设施旁部署了一个配置为操作系统镜像的 IBM FlashSystem 840 解决方案。通过为首选读取设置 FlashSystem 存储，该公司最大限度地提高了读取操作的性能，并立即看到了批处理时间的改善。接下来，该公司实施了第二个 FlashSystem 解决方案来支持其 SAP Business Warehouse 系统。

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.

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.
