关于客户
AMF Magnetics 是一家澳大利亚公司，专门从事永磁体或“稀土”磁体的销售。该公司成立于 20 世纪 80 年代初，目前是澳大利亚最大的供应商，提供约 1500 种产品。该公司服务于广泛的客户，从大型 B2B 订单到专业医疗设备和休闲 D2C 客户。 AMF Magnetics 致力于提供毫不妥协的客户服务，并拥有复杂的供应链，多个供应商分布在不同地点。该公司于 2006 年被马克收购，他试图将其从一家“模拟公司”转型为一家数字化先进企业。
挑战
AMF Magnetics 是澳大利亚最大的永磁体供应商，在管理其复杂的业务运营方面面临着挑战。该公司满足各种客户的需求，从大型 B2B 订单到专业医疗设备和临时 D2C 客户，并与不同地点的多家供应商有业务往来。该公司对毫不妥协的客户服务的承诺增加了复杂性。尽管在一定程度上实现了数字化，并使用 MYOB 桌面软件进行库存和会计，但该公司发现其运营流程效率低下，限制了其发展。数字化转型的必要性显而易见，但实现转型的路径尚不清楚。
解决方案
为了应对这些挑战，AMF Magnetics 做出了两项战略决策。首先，他们聘请了一支拥有现代软件技能的内部营销和 IT 团队，其中包括一位具有强大业务运营背景的新首席执行官。其次，他们与外部专家、中小企业顾问合作。新任首席执行官 Catalina Rodríguez 带领团队将业务从 MYOB 过渡到 Xero 进行会计处理。然而，他们意识到需要一个强大的库存管理解决方案来补充 Xero。 SMB顾问在了解AMF的具体业务需求后推荐了Cin7。我们开发了一种混合解决方案，将 Cin7 与 Xero 集成，并在 Cin7 和 Shopify 之间构建自定义集成。该解决方案是针对 AMF 多样化的客户群和特定运营要求量身定制的。

Case Study
Hydro One Leads the Way In Smart Meter Development
In 2010, Ontario’s energy board mandated that time-of-use (TOU) pricing for consumers be available for all consumers on a regulated price plan. To meet this requirement, Hydro One needed to quickly deploy a smart meter and intelligent communications network solution to meet the provincial government’s requirement at a low cost. The network needed to cover Hydro One’s expansive service territory, which has a land mass twice the size of Texas, and its customers live in a mix of urban, rural, and remote areas, some places only accessible by air, rail, boat or snowmobile. Most importantly, the network needed to enable future enterprise-wide business efficiencies, modernization of distribution infrastructure and enhanced customer service. To meet these needs, Hydro One conceptualized an end-to-end solution leveraging open standards and Internet Protocols (IP) at all communication levels. The utility drew upon industry leaders like Trilliant to realize this vision.

Selling more with Whirlpool
Whirlpool wanted to add connectivity to appliances and transform the company's relationship with customers. Traditionally, Whirlpool interaction with customers was limited to purchases made once every ten years. Connected washer and dryers provide exciting new features like remote management of start times and inter-machine communication.

Real-time In-vehicle Monitoring
The telematic solution provides this vital premium-adjusting information. The solution also helps detect and deter vehicle or trailer theft – as soon as a theft occurs, monitoring personnel can alert the appropriate authorities, providing an exact location.“With more and more insurance companies and major fleet operators interested in monitoring driver behaviour on the grounds of road safety, efficient logistics and costs, the market for this type of device and associated e-business services is growing rapidly within Italy and the rest of Europe,” says Franco.“The insurance companies are especially interested in the pay-per-use and pay-as-you-drive applications while other organisations employ the technology for road user charging.”“One million vehicles in Italy currently carry such devices and forecasts indicate that the European market will increase tenfold by 2014.However, for our technology to work effectively, we needed a highly reliable wireless data network to carry the information between the vehicles and monitoring stations.”

SAS® Analytics for IoT: Smart Grid
Companies face falling revenues, rising infrastructure costs, and increasing risk of outages caused by inconsistent energy production from renewable sources. Less money is coming in as more people and organizations take steps to curb their energy use. Utilities are paying more to maintain and build infrastructure due to increasing complexity, resulting from the rising number of intermittent and variable renewable energy sources connected in the distribution grid.

Enel Secures Italian Power Generation Network
Electric energy operators around the world are working to increase the reliability and cyber resiliency of their systems. This includes Enel, a global power company that manages and monitors the Italian power grid. This grid:• Serves 31 million customers• Has a net installed energy capacity exceeding 31 gigawatts• Includes more than 500 power generation plants,including hydroelectric, thermoelectric, and wind• Is managed and monitored by Enel 24/7/365• Is operated by Terna, the Italian Transmission System Operator (TSO)Enel is responsible for the availability of the grid’s underlying ICS and industrial network. It also manages Regional Control Centers and Interconnection Centers which connect with the TSO. The TSO manages the flow of energy to the grid plus controls and remotely regulates the power generation of power plants, increasing and decreasing power production as required. The complex system of interaction and cooperation between Enel and the TSO has strong security implications as well as operational and business challenges.

IoT based Energy Quality Availability Monitoring Solution
There were several challenges faced:Since this data would be in the public domain, accuracy and authenticity of this data were of paramount importance. It should be able to withstand scrutiny.It is challenging to build an appliance that can withstand a wide range of voltage fluctuations from as low at 90v to as high as 320v. Since the device would be installed in remote locations, its resilience was of paramount importance.The device would have to deal with poor network coverage and have the ability to store and re-transmit data if networks were not available, which is often the case in rural India. The device could store up to 30 days of data.The platform that deals with the data should be readily available and highly reliable and never lose a packet of data.
