关于客户
DW van Rooijen Warehousing B.V. (DVR) is a specialist in the storage of dangerous goods, particularly aerosols, and operates in the Rijnmond region of the Netherlands. Founded in 1984, the company has a warehouse space of 12,500 m2 and moved to a new location with CO2 bunkers in March 2019. DVR is one of the few companies authorized to store large quantities of aerosols and other hazardous substances. The company also handles customs clearance and can draw up the required export documents. DVR's operations are subject to strict supervision due to the nature of the goods they store, ensuring compliance with safety and environmental regulations.
挑战
Since the major fire at the Chemie-Pack company in Moerdijk in 2011, the storage of hazardous substances has been subject to extra strict supervision. DW van Rooijen Warehousing B.V. (later called DVR) specializes in the storage of dangerous goods and is one of the few companies in the Rijnmond region authorized to store large quantities of aerosols. An aerosol is a spray can with a mixture of gases and liquids. The company has 12,500 m2 of storage space. The move to new premises in March 2019 was a great opportunity for DVR to deploy a modern platform to support the storage of hazardous substances. The storage takes place in CO2-extinguished bunkers: in case of fire, the oxygen percentage is reduced to two percent, causing the fire to suffocate. In the event of a fire, therefore, the entire storage facility is not lost, but the loss is almost limited to zero.
解决方案
To manage the storage and logistics of hazardous substances, DVR selected BluJay’s Transportation Management for LSPs, a TMS specifically suitable for logistics service providers with transport and storage issues, and the core of BluJay’s LSP Platform. The implementation process involved detailed workshops to ensure the new system met DVR's requirements, and the contract was signed for the upgrade. The advantages of the upgrade include greater ease of use, improved search options, and the ability for customers to view stock directly via a web portal. DVR opted for a clean implementation to avoid reinstalling custom programs from the old system, re-entering data on the storage and transport of dangerous goods. The new system allows for real-time data availability for inspection, ensuring compliance with strict storage requirements. The use of scanners connected to the BluJay system has eliminated manual input errors and ensured adherence to storage rules.

Case Study
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.

Goldcorp: Internet of Things Enables the Mine of the Future
Goldcorp is committed to responsible mining practices and maintaining maximum safety for its workers. At the same time, the firm is constantly exploring ways to improve the efficiency of its operations, extend the life of its assets, and control costs. Goldcorp needed technology that can maximize production efficiency by tracking all mining operations, keep employees safe with remote operations and monitoring of hazardous work areas and control production costs through better asset and site management.
Case Study
Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

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.
