关于客户
Founded in 1985, Chronopost is the French specialist for express parcel deliveries up to 30kg to companies and individuals all over the world. A subsidiary of GeoPost, Chronopost is a holding company for Parcel and Express deliveries of La Poste Group. The company relies on a network consisting of 69 operational sites of which six are hubs. On 23 December 2008, Chronopost achieved a record level of 430,000 parcels delivered.
挑战
Back in 1997, Chronopost already broke new ground by introducing mobile computing and digital signatures. Since 2002, it has selected Honeywell Dolphin mobile computers, provided by the French integrator CEMI for data collection and communication. Facing the growing needs of the express delivery market, Chronopost has placed traceability of its deliveries using cutting-edge information technology in the core of its development strategy. Offering flawless real-time tracking information to its customers at each stage was one of the main concerns for Chronopost already at an early stage.
解决方案
In early 2006, Chronopost decided to migrate to the third generation of mobile computers and implement GPRS transmission to all its delivery rounds. The required solution had to meet the following criteria: resistance to temperature differences and dust, lightweight form factor, and a touch screen with a numeric keyboard. Three models were selected and subjected to tests in real-life conditions at three pilot sites. To guarantee a higher uptake of the solution, the agents were immediately involved in the selection process and invited to give their feedback on the mobile terminal’s battery life, weight and design. The costs and IT performance were also assessed during testing. Following the initial test phase, the Honeywell Dolphin 9500 mobile computers were selected.

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
Cold Chain Transportation and Refrigerated Fleet Management System
1) Create a digital connected transportation solution to retrofit cold chain trailers with real-time tracking and controls. 2) Prevent multi-million dollar losses due to theft or spoilage. 3) Deliver a digital chain-of-custody solution for door to door load monitoring and security. 4) Provide a trusted multi-fleet solution in a single application with granular data and access controls.
Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
