关于客户
Litehouse Foods 是冷藏沙拉酱、奶酪、蘸酱、酱汁、苹果酒和冻干香草的领先制造商。该公司因发明奶油蓝纹奶酪酱而闻名。Litehouse 由 Hawkins 家族于 50 多年前创立，自 2014 年以来一直是一家 100% 员工持股的公司。如今，Litehouse 是一家市值 3 亿美元的公司，在充满热情的员工的推动下，继续专注于增长。自 2007 年以来，Litehouse 一直依靠 Aptean Factory MES 来推动持续改进并更好地简化生产流程，这两项工作都是通过他们积极参与 Factory MES 社区实现的。
挑战
Litehouse Foods 是一家领先的冷藏沙拉酱、奶酪、蘸酱、酱汁、苹果酒和冻干香草制造商，其四个生产设施均采用纸质系统。他们手动监控和记录停机时间等指标。他们现有的记录系统使得报告创建变得困难，并且几乎无法提供实时可见性，导致他们忽略了大量停机时间。当时，Lithouse 每条生产线有超过 400 个停机代码，并且给人的印象是他们的利用率和 OEE 比实际高得多。正是这种手动流程促使他们寻找一种解决方案，以消除对纸张的需求，同时提供优化性能和消除错误的机会。
解决方案
2007 年，Litehouse Foods 实施了 Aptean Factory MES，以推动持续改进并更好地简化生产流程。该系统在大约两周内推出，并在整个组织中受到了极大的欢迎。该解决方案提供了在操作员屏幕上显示的实时指标和 SPC 趋势，从而激发了人们对业务运营的兴趣和投资。除了改进他们一直跟踪的指标（例如正常运行时间和停机时间）之外，Litehouse 还获得了在实施工厂 MES 之前从未关注过的指标的可见性。由于之前没有跟踪产量或运行率的记录，该公司决定深入研究这些未知领域，并打破其为特定生产线上运行的每种产品分配相同成本的系统。

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.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.
