关于客户
Design Within Reach (DWR) is a multichannel modern furnishings retailer with 45 locations across the U.S. The company was founded in 1999 by Rob Forbes with a mission to make modern design accessible to anyone – anywhere at anytime. Headquartered in Stamford, Conn., DWR was launched due to Forbes' frustration with the difficulty of finding designs he loved and those produced by some of the most well-known designers. The company’s area managers work with studio managers and sales representatives to monitor item sales, demand and trends. Accessibility is at the heart of DWR's business, making it imperative for the company to be in sync with its studio sales team to know what is on the floor in all 45 of its studios in order to most effectively control inventory.
挑战
Design Within Reach (DWR), a multichannel modern furnishings retailer, was struggling with its data management. The company’s sales and inventory data was often analyzed using Excel, and occasionally with custom built reports using SAP’s Crystal Reports. This led to inconsistencies in data analysis as different people used different processes to create reports. The IT team was also burdened with doing one-off pulls from the company’s databases. DWR needed a solution that was flexible enough to be used by all Area Managers, regardless of location, and easy enough that they could find answers on their own, despite their levels of technical ability.
解决方案
DWR implemented QlikView, a Business Discovery platform that delivers self-service BI that empowers business users by driving innovative decision-making. QlikView brings together data from multiple sources into a single application, and its dynamic apps can be optimized for mobile access. With QlikView, DWR was able to create an Area Manager Dashboard that was designed for iPad and built to display details regarding Area Managers’ specific businesses, including sales representatives, item sales and trends. IT can now push data out to users, which they can access on their iPads and immediately gain insights into the inventory in their studios. At a glance, the studio sales team can see every DWR product and access data that informs intelligent decisions for allocating and managing products.

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.
