挑战
Averitt Express, a leading provider of freight transportation and supply chain management, faced a scheduling challenge for a national chain of restaurants and retail stores. Averitt operates a dedicated fleet for retail deliveries from the customer’s distribution center near Nashville, TN, to over 600 retail locations across 45 states. The complexity of the transportation operation, with each store typically receiving multiple deliveries per week based on demand, created variability in delivery times and routes. This variability made it difficult for store managers to ensure team members were on-site and available to unload trucks without having underutilized staff waiting around. Accurate, predictive visibility into delivery times was critical for store managers to schedule store labor effectively.
解决方案
FourKites provided a solution by integrating Averitt’s loads onto the FourKites platform using a proven, repeatable integration process and a dedicated onboarding team. Key Averitt personnel were trained as superusers to operate the platform autonomously, leveraging FourKites’ tools and capabilities. This integration provided granular visibility into delivery times, helping Averitt deliver a tech-enabled customer offering that optimized labor costs for its customer. Additionally, Averitt rolled out a new notification service, equipping the customer’s store managers with FourKites access via iPads, allowing them to track shipments from departure to delivery. This enhanced visibility and tracking capability significantly improved the customer’s ability to manage store labor effectively.

Case Study
Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.
Case Study
IoT-based Fleet Intelligence Innovation
Speed to market is precious for DRVR, a rapidly growing start-up company. With a business model dependent on reliable mobile data, managers were spending their lives trying to negotiate data roaming deals with mobile network operators in different countries. And, even then, service quality was a constant concern.
Case Study
Digitize Railway with Deutsche Bahn
To reduce maintenance costs and delay-causing failures for Deutsche Bahn. They need manual measurements by a position measurement system based on custom-made MEMS sensor clusters, which allow autonomous and continuous monitoring with wireless data transmission and long battery. They were looking for data pre-processing solution in the sensor and machine learning algorithms in the cloud so as to detect critical wear.

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
