关于客户
Hibbett Sports, Inc. is a full-line sporting goods retailer headquartered in Birmingham, AL., operating stores in small and mid-sized markets, predominantly in the South, Southwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest. The retailer provides a broad assortment of quality branded athletic footwear, apparel, and equipment with a high level of customer service. As of October 2017, the company operated a total of 1,082 retail stores comprised of Hibbett Sports stores and Sports Additions athletic shoe stores in 33 states. Hibbett has been on a growth trajectory since the early 90s, consistently opening several new stores every year. With that growth, the company’s inbound shipments from a large list of vendors have also increased exponentially, as has its need for greater consolidation.
挑战
Hibbett Sports needed one system to capture all transportation and logistics data, and required better visibility for consolidating and optimizing its inbound shipments, with an end goal of also realizing cost reductions. Managing the shipments of merchandise to stock its growing number of stores can be a complex and challenging task, which led Hibbett to begin researching a Transportation Management System (TMS) in 2012. As part of the research phase, Hibbett identified a need to capture all transportation and logistics data in one system. The company also required better visibility for consolidating and optimizing its inbound shipments, ultimately with a goal of realizing cost reductions. Additionally, as a result of a supply chain analysis, Hibbett discovered how cumbersome it was to gather and evaluate data from different systems and realized that a TMS was necessary to simplify the process.
解决方案
Hibbett selected the MercuryGate TMS to provide the foundation for its transportation logistics management. The TMS provides Hibbett with critical information and analytics to make informed decisions that affect the entire supply chain. Hibbett is also using MercuryGate’s transportation optimization solution, Mojo, to analyze shipments, rates, and constraints to produce realistic load plans. With the recent opening of a California-based consolidation center, Hibbett is now keeping loads at various providers’ warehouses for up to several days. The MercuryGate TMS provides Hibbett with critical information, including shipment dates, to give the company the visibility they need to determine which loads will go best together. The increased visibility also enables Hibbett to create more backhaul opportunities with its own fleet drivers or its vendors, resulting in additional cost savings. Additionally, Hibbett has been able to add its suppliers into the TMS which makes scheduling of shipments much easier.

Case Study
Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.
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.
