关于客户
Brødrene Dahl AS is Norway’s leading water, heating, and sanitation technology wholesaler, owned by Saint-Gobain Distribution Nordic, one of Europe’s leading industrial groups. With an estimated revenue of 320 billion NOK, Brødrene Dahl operates at 56 locations throughout Norway and employs around 1,300 people. The company has a significant e-commerce presence and works across various fields, including water and sewage and industry. They define themselves as a logistics company, focusing on efficient and precise order fulfilment to meet the high expectations of their B2B customers.
挑战
In the last decade, the rise of e-commerce has significantly changed the landscape of business-to-business (B2B) transactions. Customers now expect higher order frequency, shorter lead times, and user-friendly order fulfilment. Brødrene Dahl AS, a leading water, heating, and sanitation technology wholesaler in Norway, faced the challenge of meeting these evolving customer expectations. Their central warehouse in Langhus was responsible for fulfilling all orders and distributing goods to regional warehouses across Norway. However, their existing manual distribution center could no longer keep up with the growing business demands. The company needed to optimize their order fulfilment process to handle a wide range of product sizes and orders, from single items to fully loaded pallets, with expectations of overnight or even same-day delivery.
解决方案
To address the challenges, Brødrene Dahl partnered with Swisslog, a highly qualified Norwegian supplier of warehouse and logistics solutions. Swisslog provided a comprehensive solution that included a High bay Warehouse with automated pallet stacker cranes, an integrated picking solution, and a short-term buffer storage facility. The solution also featured Swisslog's warehouse and automation software, which controls the entire system and communicates with Brødrene Dahl's order management software. The High bay Warehouse, equipped with eight Vectura pallet stacker cranes, allows for large storage capacity on a small footprint, ensuring maximum pallet throughput and high storage density. Additionally, Swisslog introduced GreenLog standards to optimize energy efficiency, utilizing lightweight designs, energy-efficient drives, and innovative control concepts. The solution also included a pick-to-belt system for efficient and ergonomic picking of cartons, and a buffer storage facility with three types of transport units for fast and organized transportation of goods.

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.

Ensures Cold Milk in Your Supermarket
As of 2014, AK-Centralen has over 1,500 Danish supermarkets equipped, and utilizes 16 operators, and is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. AK-Centralen needed the ability to monitor the cooling alarms from around the country, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Each and every time the door to a milk cooler or a freezer does not close properly, an alarm goes off on a computer screen in a control building in southwestern Odense. This type of alarm will go off approximately 140,000 times per year, equating to roughly 400 alarms in a 24-hour period. Should an alarm go off, then there is only a limited amount of time to act before dairy products or frozen pizza must be disposed of, and this type of waste can quickly start to cost a supermarket a great deal of money.
Case Study
Supermarket Energy Savings
The client had previously deployed a one-meter-per-store monitoring program. Given the manner in which energy consumption changes with external temperature, hour of the day, day of week and month of year, a single meter solution lacked the ability to detect the difference between a true problem and a changing store environment. Most importantly, a single meter solution could never identify root cause of energy consumption changes. This approach never reduced the number of truck-rolls or man-hours required to find and resolve issues.
