关于客户
Since 1956, CG Appliance Express has become the premier place to shop for appliances and commercial laundry in the San Francisco Bay Area. A fleet of custom install trucks makes 1,000s of professional delivery and installation calls each week in the Bay Area. CG Appliance Express has withstood intense competition from large chain stores and survived the test of time by giving personal service, providing award winning installations, maintaining competitive prices and meeting changing customer needs.
挑战
Chris Parisis, President of CG Appliance Express, noticed that his sales department spent quite a lot of time tracking down drivers by calling them and asking for their current location and ETA to their next customer. This was unproductive phone tag for both sales people and drivers. Chris was also very interested in avoiding down time on his vehicles by planning vehicle maintenance schedules based on accrued mileage and proactively responding to engine alerts. Chris was very familiar with the traditional, installed ‘Black Box’ GPS systems available on the market. However, they didn’t provide the accurate data that he needed to make informed business and vehicle maintenance decisions. As an example, they provided speeding alerts but they didn’t tell him how much above the speed limit the drivers went, for how long they were above the limit, and other critical driver behavior information on hard braking and sudden acceleration. These details were important for Chris to get a solid discount from his insurance provider. In addition, since traditional systems depended entirely on GPS to get speed information and did some fancy math to calculate idling times, Chris couldn’t count on that data for accurately determining idling time. With the EPA stepping up on idling regulations, Chris wanted to make sure he had a very accurate idle time measurement solution.

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.
