挑战
Henny Penny faced challenges with manual data entry and inaccuracy in their parts distribution operation. Despite using RF-SMART in their finished goods area, there was room for improvement in their parts distribution process. The company needed to optimize picking for their parts distribution and decided to bring in vertical lift towers. This required integrating the software for their picking towers with their existing systems, a task that was handed over to Bob Blackburn's team.
解决方案
Henny Penny selected RF-SMART due to its highly configurable software, proven integration with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, and top-tier customer service. They began using RF-SMART to pick orders and validate the correct items were sent to the appropriate customer. The company utilized various RF-SMART workflows, including Work Order Completion, Picking, and Ship Confirm. The configurable nature of RF-SMART allowed Henny Penny to tailor it to their unique business processes, saving time and boosting efficiency in their warehouse. To further optimize their parts distribution, Henny Penny integrated vertical lift towers with RF-SMART. The integration of picking towers to JD Edwards was seamless, with RF-SMART handling all data exchange and keeping JD Edwards up to date in real-time. This integration allowed for accurate inventory management and real-time visibility, significantly improving their operations.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

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.
