挑战
Maggy London faced significant challenges with manual marker placement for their engineered prints. The manual process was slow, tedious, and lacked the precision needed to accurately estimate material consumption and stay within margins. This inefficiency was particularly problematic given the company's production of five seasons of nine lines each year, both for private label and in-house brands. The manual method involved designers scuttling pieces on a table to find the best position for their designs, which was not only time-consuming but also impractical. Despite 40 years of marker-making experience, the uncertainty of the manual process was a significant issue, especially in an industry with an unforgiving margin of error. The need for a more efficient and precise method became critical as the company aimed to grow and meet the demands of private labels and retailers who are very savvy about cost and time to market.
解决方案
To address the challenges of manual marker placement, Maggy London collaborated with Lectra to develop a more efficient solution. Leveraging their 20-year partnership, the two companies pooled their knowledge to create a system that allowed for the import of fabrics into Lectra markers. This enabled quick visualization of marker layouts and accurate estimation of material use. The new system allowed Marker Maker Alex Canoro to swiftly position markers on a fabric backdrop using Lectra's Diamino software, significantly reducing the time and effort required compared to the old manual method. The implementation of Lectra's solutions provided Maggy London with the precision needed to meet the demands of private labels and retailers. The design department and marker development team could now work together to design prints that fit the markers, optimizing fabric usage and saving valuable resources. This collaboration between design and production departments facilitated better and faster decision-making, enhancing the overall efficiency of the production process.

Fire Alarm System and Remote Monitoring Sytem
Fire alarm systems are essential in providing an early warning in the event of fire. They help to save lives and protect property whilst also fulfilling the needs of insurance companies and government departments.Fire alarm systems typically consist of several inter-linked components, such as smoke detectors, heat detector, carbon monoxide, manual call points, sounders, alarm and buzzer. The fire alarm system should give immediate information in order to prevent the fire spread and protect live and property.To get maximum protection a shoe manufacturer in Indonesia opted for a new fire alarm system to monitor 13 production sites spread over 160 hectars. Although the company had an existing fire alarm system, it could not be monitored remotely.It was essential that the new system would be able to be monitored from a central control room. It needed to be able to connect to the existing smoke detector and manual call point. Information should be easily collected and passed on to the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. Furthermore, the system should have several features such as alarm management, auto reporting, being connected to many client computers without additional cost, and run 24/7 without fails. The company also needed a system which could be implemented without changing the architecture of the existing fire alarm system.

IoT Applications and Upgrades in Textile Plant
At any given time, the textile company’s manufacturing facility has up to 2,000 textile carts in use. These carts are pushed from room to room, carrying materials or semi-finished products. Previously, a paper with a hand-written description was attached to each cart. This traditional method of processing made product tracking extremely difficult. Additionally, making sure that every cart of materials or semi-finished products went to its correct processing work station was also a problem. Therefore, the company desired an intelligent solution for tracking assets at their factories. They also wanted a solution that would help them collect process data so they could improve their manufacturing efficiency.

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.

Retailer Uses RFID Scanner to Improve Efficiency
Patrizia Pepe wished to improve the logistics of their warehouse: accepting incoming goods from their production sites, movement of items throughout
the warehouse, and packaging of goods for distribution to the retail locations. They initially tried to use barcodes for this function. Because barcodes must be individually scanned within a line-of-sight, the acceptance of goods coming into the warehouse was too time consuming. Working with the University of Florence, Patrizia Pepe instituted a five-month pilot project beginning in August of 2009 to test the validity of an RFID solution. The pilot involved tagging of about 60,000 items for the second seasonal collection, and convinced the company to move forward with tagging all items.
