关于客户
Hansgrohe SE 是一家市场领先的卫生洁具制造商，总部位于德国希尔塔赫。该公司在 44 个国家/地区设有 10 个生产基地和办事处，是卫生洁具行业为数不多的全球性企业之一。Hansgrohe 拥有 3,500 多名员工，2013 年总收入为 8.414 亿欧元。在将业务扩展到新兴全球市场（尤其是亚洲）后，Hansgrohe 努力为越来越多的客户提供一流的支持，同时又不让成本失控。
挑战
Hansgrohe SE 是一家市场领先的卫生洁具制造商，在将业务拓展到新兴全球市场（尤其是亚洲）后，该公司面临着诸多挑战。该公司努力为不断增加的客户提供一流的支持，同时又不让成本失控。此前，Hansgrohe 的集成 SAP 应用程序运行在 Oracle 数据库上。随着公司的扩张，现有环境难以提供所需的性能，而当业务需要扩大时，许可成本急剧增加。
解决方案
在评估了多家供应商的产品后，Hansgrohe 决定部署 IBM DB2 和两台 IBM Power 770 服务器，每台服务器配备 36 个 IBM POWER7+™ 处理器核心和 1 TB 主内存，并连接到两个虚拟化 IBM Storwize V7000 存储系统。通过与 IBM 的密切合作，Hansgrohe 将其 SAP Business Warehouse 和 SAP ERP 应用程序从 Oracle Database 迁移到在 IBM AIX 上运行的 IBM DB2。该公司还受益于 IBM PowerHA® SystemMirror® for AIX 带来的业务连续性改善。该公司现在还在 System x 上运行 VMware、Windows 和 Linux。

Case Study
Plastic Spoons Case study: Injection Moulding
In order to meet customer expectations by supplying a wide variety of packaging units, from 36 to 1000 spoons per package, a new production and packaging line needed to be built. DeSter wanted to achieve higher production capacity, lower cycle time and a high degree of operator friendliness with this new production line.

Robot Saves Money and Time for US Custom Molding Company
Injection Technology (Itech) is a custom molder for a variety of clients that require precision plastic parts for such products as electric meter covers, dental appliance cases and spools. With 95 employees operating 23 molding machines in a 30,000 square foot plant, Itech wanted to reduce man hours and increase efficiency.
Case Study
Fully Automated Visual Inspection System
Tofflon has developed a fully automatic machine that uses light to inspect vials, medicine bottles, or infusion containers for glass fragments, aluminum particles, rubber grains, hairs, fibers, or other contaminants. It also detects damaged containers with cracks or inclusions (microscopic imperfections), automatically removing faulty or contaminated products. In order to cover all production processes for freeze-dried pharmaceuticals, Tofflon needed to create an open, consistent, and module-based automation concept.
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.
Case Study
SAP Leonardo Enabling Rocket Science
At times, ULA has as many as 15 different operating systems dedicated to overlapping processes, such as rocket design, testing, and launch. Multiple systems created unnecessary costs and unwanted confusion among workers at offices, factories, and launch sites in different location. In order to improve collaboration and transparency during vital activities that directly influence mission success, ULA wanted to improve data sharing and streamline manufacturing processes.
