关于客户
The customer is a global semiconductor manufacturer with revenues exceeding $5 billion. The company operates a complex network of over 30 factories and 40 distribution warehouses. Seven years ago, the company began a transformative journey to shift from 90% in-house manufacturing to a predominantly fabless model. This transition was driven by the need to adapt to new competitive models, technology advances, and changing customer preferences. The company also aimed to leverage mergers and acquisitions to innovate, access new markets, and achieve economies of scale.
挑战
The global semiconductor manufacturer faced several challenges as it transitioned from in-house to fabless manufacturing. The primary issues included maintaining manufacturing visibility, inaccurate and slow inventory reporting, increased scrap, and missed customer commitments due to yield issues. Additionally, the company struggled with overpayments for external services due to complex, manual contract reconciliation processes. These challenges were exacerbated by siloed systems that hindered timely and accurate reporting, raising the risk of regulatory non-compliance and impacting profits.
解决方案
The company selected e2open’s Manufacturing Collaboration application to address its challenges. The e2open platform connected to the firm’s underlying systems, collecting, cleansing, and harmonizing manufacturing, quality, and inventory data. This created a single source of truth for all business decisions and provided a holistic view of inventory across the entire operation. Automatic updates and closed-loop integration between systems ensured that all decision-making was based on the latest information. The platform enabled finance to gain timely and accurate reporting of inventory for compliance requirements and increased productivity by automating labor-intensive processes. Operations gained visibility into product quality and yield issues early in the manufacturing process, allowing proactive steps to reduce scrap and ensure product availability.

Remote Temperature Monitoring of Perishable Goods Saves Money
RMONI was facing temperature monitoring challenges in a cold chain business. A cold chain must be established and maintained to ensure goods have been properly refrigerated during every step of the process, making temperature monitoring a critical business function. Manual registration practice can be very costly, labor intensive and prone to mistakes.

Leveraging the IoT to Gain a Competitive Edge in International Competition
Many large manufacturers in and outside Japan are competing for larger market share in the same space, expecting a growing demand for projectors in the areas of entertainment, which requires glamor and strong visual performance as well as digital signage that can attract people’s attention. “It is becoming more and more difficult to differentiate ourselves with stand-alone hardware products,” says Kazuyuki Kitagawa, Director of Service & Support at Panasonic AVC Networks. “In order for Panasonic to grow market share and overall business, it is essential for us to develop solutions that deliver significant added value.” Panasonic believes projection failure and quality deterioration should never happen. This is what and has driven them to make their projectors IoT-enabled. More specifically, Panasonic has developed a system that collects data from projectors, visualizes detailed operational statuses, and predicts issues and address them before failure occurs. Their projectors are embedded with a variety of sensors that measure power supply, voltage, video input/ output signals, intake/exhaust air temperatures, cooling fan operations, and light bulb operating time. These sensors have been used to make the projector more intelligent, automatically suspending operation when the temperature rises excessively, and automatically switching light bulbs. Although this was a great first step, Panasonic projectors were still not equipped with any capability to send the data over a network.
