关于客户
Container Centralen 是一家拥有并管理欧洲绿色产业供应链基础设施中可回收容器系统的公司。该系统由该领域的多个利益相关者使用,包括种植者、拍卖行、运输商、出口商等,并在 22 个国家/地区运营。该公司在欧洲提供可重复使用的植物和花卉运输容器,库存中有超过 350 万个容器。这些容器在遍布欧洲的 60 个仓库中流通。
挑战
Container Centralen 是欧洲一家可重复使用的植物和花卉运输容器供应商,其库存中有超过 350 万个容器,这些容器在欧洲各地的 60 个仓库中流通。多年来,该公司一直面临着一个重大挑战:假冒。多达 20% 的容器都是假冒的,这对 CC 来说是一个双重挑战。首先,由于可重复使用的容器属于 CC,因此 CC 负责清洁、维护、维修和更换它们。其次,由于客户使用的容器多于他们支付的费用,CC 在对不属于自己的容器负责的同时,损失了租赁收入。
解决方案
通过实施定制的 RFID 控制系统,Container Centralen 为供应链创造了一种自我转型的方法,而无需承担创建它的成本。该解决方案是业内首创的解决方案,旨在一劳永逸地消除假冒容器的问题。CC 方法的一个巧妙之处在于,标签贴在假冒容器还是真容器上并不重要,重要的是流通中的带标签容器总数。实施该解决方案还使 CC 的客户受益,因为与每个标签相关的信息还可以提供对供应链的前所未有的洞察。例如,无需物理检查就能准确知道每个容器中的内容,这使客户能够主动管理其产品运输,以最大限度地提高效率。为了促进这一行业转型,CC 正在向希望开发该功能的任何客户免费提供必要的应用程序接口。

IoT Applications and Upgrades in Textile Plant
At any given time, the textile company’s manufacturing facility has up to 2,000 textile carts in use. These carts are pushed from room to room, carrying materials or semi-finished products. Previously, a paper with a hand-written description was attached to each cart. This traditional method of processing made product tracking extremely difficult. Additionally, making sure that every cart of materials or semi-finished products went to its correct processing work station was also a problem. Therefore, the company desired an intelligent solution for tracking assets at their factories. They also wanted a solution that would help them collect process data so they could improve their manufacturing efficiency.

Remote Temperature Monitoring of Perishable Goods Saves Money
RMONI was facing temperature monitoring challenges in a cold chain business. A cold chain must be established and maintained to ensure goods have been properly refrigerated during every step of the process, making temperature monitoring a critical business function. Manual registration practice can be very costly, labor intensive and prone to mistakes.

Buoy Status Monitoring with LoRa
The Netherlands are well-known for their inland waterways, canals, sluices and of course port activities. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure indicates that there are thousands of buoys and fixed items in and near water environments that would profit from IoT monitoring. One of the problems with buoys for example, is that they get hit by ships and the anchor cable breaks. Without connectivity, it takes quite some time to find out that something has happened with that buoy. Not to mention the costs of renting a boat to go to the buoy to fix it. Another important issue, is that there is no real-time monitoring of the buoys at this moment. Only by physically visiting the object on the water, one gains insight in its status.

IoT Based Asset Tracking System
The existing system used by the customer could only track a few thousand assets and was able to generate only a few standard set of reports. As the number of assets tracked grew exponentially, the system started to break at the seams. The Tracking devices were from different manufacturers following different protocols. There was no proper integration among the devices to send instant alerts. There are thousands of tracking devices spread across multiple geographies, that are moving. The configuration and troubleshooting of these devices incurred heavy costs, which was a logistics challenge. The existing system did not provide sophisticated Analytics, Business Intelligence and Insights from the data
