挑战
Columbia Sportswear 正在实施大规模 ERP 系统并进行重大业务流程转型，这威胁到其现有财务报告和规划流程的可行性。如果没有大量耗时的人工干预来整合来自不同 ERP 系统的数据集，该公司将面临失去执行核心财务流程的能力的风险。该公司需要一种解决方案，不仅可以保持向关键决策者的信息流，还可以增强信息流。除了简化信息传递之外，Columbia Sportswear 还希望找到一种解决方案，可以更深入地了解其业务各个部分的绩效，从而帮助企业做出更好的决策。
解决方案
Columbia Sportswear 选择了 IBM Cognos TM1 和 IBM 业务合作伙伴 Aviana 来帮助设计和实施解决方案，以支持财务规划、报告和分析以及相关主数据的管理。该公司还将 Cognos TM1 解决方案与其现有的 IBM Cognos Business Intelligence 软件集成在一起。在短期内，新的 IBM 解决方案充当了传统 ERP 环境和新 SAP ERP 环境之间的桥梁。TM1 平台与两个系统的总帐集成在一起，实现了数据协调，以支持全球管理报告和财务规划。哥伦比亚的财务规划流程也得到了增强，以实现基于驱动因素的规划、滚动预测和人员编制规划。

Case Study
Fire Alarm System and Remote Monitoring Sytem
Fire alarm systems are essential in providing an early warning in the event of fire. They help to save lives and protect property whilst also fulfilling the needs of insurance companies and government departments.Fire alarm systems typically consist of several inter-linked components, such as smoke detectors, heat detector, carbon monoxide, manual call points, sounders, alarm and buzzer. The fire alarm system should give immediate information in order to prevent the fire spread and protect live and property.To get maximum protection a shoe manufacturer in Indonesia opted for a new fire alarm system to monitor 13 production sites spread over 160 hectars. Although the company had an existing fire alarm system, it could not be monitored remotely.It was essential that the new system would be able to be monitored from a central control room. It needed to be able to connect to the existing smoke detector and manual call point. Information should be easily collected and passed on to the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. Furthermore, the system should have several features such as alarm management, auto reporting, being connected to many client computers without additional cost, and run 24/7 without fails. The company also needed a system which could be implemented without changing the architecture of the existing fire alarm system.

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.

Retailer Uses RFID Scanner to Improve Efficiency
Patrizia Pepe wished to improve the logistics of their warehouse: accepting incoming goods from their production sites, movement of items throughout
the warehouse, and packaging of goods for distribution to the retail locations. They initially tried to use barcodes for this function. Because barcodes must be individually scanned within a line-of-sight, the acceptance of goods coming into the warehouse was too time consuming. Working with the University of Florence, Patrizia Pepe instituted a five-month pilot project beginning in August of 2009 to test the validity of an RFID solution. The pilot involved tagging of about 60,000 items for the second seasonal collection, and convinced the company to move forward with tagging all items.

Monitoring and Controlling Automatic Mixing and Dispensing Machines
As technology advances, textile manufacturing has been transformed from a labor-intensive to a partially or fully automated industry. Automation is significant in all segments of textile production - from spinning to printing, and textile machinery manufacturers are constantly searching for new technologies and automation processes will increase the productivity of their machines. The color paste mixing and dispensing machine is an essential part of the printing and dyeing process. With the advantage of automatically computerized controls and database management, the system can significantly improve its dispensing precision, working efficiency and production quality as well as reducing material consumption.
