关于客户
Fanatics is the largest online retailer of officially licensed sports apparel and merchandise with over $1 billion in revenue every year. Headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, the company powers e-commerce sites for major professional sports leagues including the NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA, NASCAR, and PGA. It also operates e-commerce sites for leading media brands including NBC Sports, CBS Sports, and FOX Sports.
挑战
Fanatics collects a tremendous volume and variety of data. In addition to the data generated from handling over 30 million orders per year, the company collects web traffic and clickstream data from over 250 million annual website visits. They also source data from social media analytics, real-time event results, and news when making business decisions. Fanatics’ legacy reporting system was based in Excel. They faced issues with scalability, usability, and adoption, and sought to implement a modern analytics platform capable of supporting self-service data discovery. Their goal was to empower more business users to make data-driven decisions and more effectively operationalize real-time data via a cloud platform.
解决方案
Fanatics modernized their BI capabilities by tapping into a powerful combination of Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud technology and MicroStrategy. First, the company moved data storage to the cloud using Amazon Redshift as the primary data warehouse. Next, they chose to deploy MicroStrategy because it could support comprehensive BI capabilities while delivering self-service functionality and stringent security requirements. Additionally, the MicroStrategy Cloud Platform on AWS offered a powerful suite of administrative tools that—when combined with the elasticity of the cloud—enabled Fanatics to automate repetitive tasks and scale up or down at a moment’s notice. Shortly thereafter, Fanatics deployed a Hadoop distribution to help manage and process 500 terabytes of unstructured log data, which they analyze using MicroStrategy.

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.
