关于客户
该客户是世界上最大的轮胎和橡胶公司之一，为全球客户提供各种轮胎。他们的产品范围包括乘用车、卡车、公共汽车、飞机、建筑和采矿车辆、摩托车等轮胎。该公司在预测和库存管理方面面临重大挑战，导致库存频繁过剩和短缺，并且缺乏对供应风险和产能优先级的了解。公司现有的系统Excel和Aspen无法有效应对这些挑战。
挑战
世界上最大的轮胎和橡胶公司之一向全球客户提供各种轮胎，但其运营面临着重大挑战。该公司正面临着不准确的预测，而这些预测主要是基于滞后指标。预测缺乏准确性导致缺乏对供应风险和产能优先级的了解。此外，该公司无法有效地利用需求驱动因素来预测未来趋势。这导致库存频繁过剩和短缺，从而产生潜在的库存负债，并需要额外的价格促销来清理库存。该公司当前的销售和运营计划 (S&OP) 流程效率低下，并且缺乏对供应风险和基于财务的产能优先级的可见性。
解决方案
该公司与领先的人工智能规划解决方案提供商 o9 合作，应对这些挑战。 o9 的平台使该公司能够了解需求驱动因素，例如经销商/零售商的销售情况和渠道库存信息、定价/促销影响以及邮政编码级别分析。这些信息用于更快地发现差距并更有效地应对不断变化的市场状况。该平台还通过将这些需求驱动因素纳入其预测功能，帮助该公司优化和降低库存水平。然后，销售人员利用这些见解向经销商提出品种建议。此外，o9 的平台为该公司提供了单一集成云原生平台的全面可见性，使其能够更有效地推动 S&OP。该公司还实施了企业知识图谱，集成了销售和需求规划、S&OP 以及假设场景规划。该公司用 o9 的平台替换了现有的系统 Excel 和 Aspen。

Case Study
Underground Mining Safety
The goal was to produce a safety system to monitor and support underground mining operations; existing systems were either too simple (i.e. phone line) or overly complex and expensive, inhibiting deployment, and providing little-to-no support in event of an accident. Given the dangerous nature of the mining work environment and the strict regulations placed on the industry, the solution would have to comply with Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) regulations. Yet the product needed to allow for simple deployment to truly be a groundbreaking solution - increasing miner safety and changing daily operations for the better.

Mining Firm Quadruples Production, with Internet of Everything
Dundee Precious Metal’s flagship mine, in Chelopech, Bulgaria, produces a gold, copper, and silver concentrate set a goal to increase production by 30%. Dundee wanted to increase production quality and output without increasing headcount and resources, improve miner safety, and minimize cost.

Fastenal Builds the Future of Manufacturing with MachineMetrics
Fastenal's objective was to better understand their machine downtime, utilization, quality issues, and to embrace cutting-edge manufacturing technology/process improvement capabilities to bring their team to the next level. However, there was a lack of real-time data, visualization, and actionable insights made this transition impossible.
Case Study
Joy Mining Systems
Joy equipment faces many challenges. The first is machine integration and control. The business end of the machine has a rapidly-spinning cylinder with 6-inch diamond-studded cutting teeth. It chews through rock at rates measured in tens of tons per minute. The system grinds through the rock in front, creating a rectangular mine tunnel. Hydraulic lifters support the ceiling as the machine moves forward. Automated drills and screws drive 3-ft long screws into the ceiling to stabilize it. The rock and coal fall into a set of gathering "fingers" below the cutting cylinder. These fingers scoop up the rock and coal and deposit it onto a conveyor belt. The conveyor passes under the machine and out the back. A train of conveyor belt cars, up to a mile long, follows the cutter into the mine. The rock shoots along this train at over 400 feet per minute until it empties into rail cars at the end. Current systems place an operator cage next to the cutter. Choking dust (potentially explosive), the risk of collapse and the proximity of metal and rock mayhem make the operator cage a hazardous location.

Improved Monitoring in Industrial Manufacturing Facility
When your crane is moving tons of magma-hot iron, you can’t afford an unexpected failure. McWane Ductile knew monitoring the crane motor metrics within their facility could help prevent a mechanical failure that would strand an enormous bucket of molten metal overhead. Unfortunately, their legacy wired monitoring system couldn’t work with moving objects in this extreme environment. If they could integrate wireless capabilities into their existing equipment they could extend their monitoring capabilities without starting over from scratch.
