关于客户
Sensata Technologies is a global industrial technology company that develops sensors, sensor-based solutions, including controllers and software, and other mission-critical products to create valuable business insights for customers and end users. The company operates in two segments, Performance Sensing and Sensing Solutions. Sensata Technologies ships over 1.1 billion units globally each year from 12 international locations using a variety of modes. The company's supply chain is complex, coordinating thousands of orders using heavyweight air carriers, ocean, ferry, train, as well as LTL, parcel and hand carry carriers for expedited shipments.
挑战
Sensata Technologies, a company that ships over 1.1 billion units globally each year from 12 international locations using a variety of modes, was facing challenges in managing their complex supply chain. The company was seeking a more effective way to manage transportation operations with the help of technology. Their goals were to reduce costs, identify areas needing improvement, and gain visibility, traceability and control of global logistics operations. The company needed a technology solution that could flex with their needs due to the complicated nature of shipping product internationally.
解决方案
Sensata Technologies chose Kuebix TMS as their transportation management platform. The implementation began with a pilot in 2016 in the Aguascalientes facility in Mexico and the Fort Worth facility in Texas. The pilot was successful and resulted in the launch of Kuebix across all of their Central European sites in 2017. Kuebix TMS is now used for all modes of transportation in the original locations as well as in two additional sites in the USA, two in Bulgaria, one in Malaysia, and in their Antrim facility in Ireland. The company uses Kuebix to rate, book, track and trace standard orders internationally. Order information is automatically populated from their ERP system into Kuebix so that all the information needed for shipping is accurate and instant. Kuebix TMS is also integrated directly with carriers, making it easy for Sensata’s warehouse employees to view real-time, accurate rate information instead of rate estimates.

Remote Temperature Monitoring of Perishable Goods Saves Money
RMONI was facing temperature monitoring challenges in a cold chain business. A cold chain must be established and maintained to ensure goods have been properly refrigerated during every step of the process, making temperature monitoring a critical business function. Manual registration practice can be very costly, labor intensive and prone to mistakes.

Leveraging the IoT to Gain a Competitive Edge in International Competition
Many large manufacturers in and outside Japan are competing for larger market share in the same space, expecting a growing demand for projectors in the areas of entertainment, which requires glamor and strong visual performance as well as digital signage that can attract people’s attention. “It is becoming more and more difficult to differentiate ourselves with stand-alone hardware products,” says Kazuyuki Kitagawa, Director of Service & Support at Panasonic AVC Networks. “In order for Panasonic to grow market share and overall business, it is essential for us to develop solutions that deliver significant added value.” Panasonic believes projection failure and quality deterioration should never happen. This is what and has driven them to make their projectors IoT-enabled. More specifically, Panasonic has developed a system that collects data from projectors, visualizes detailed operational statuses, and predicts issues and address them before failure occurs. Their projectors are embedded with a variety of sensors that measure power supply, voltage, video input/ output signals, intake/exhaust air temperatures, cooling fan operations, and light bulb operating time. These sensors have been used to make the projector more intelligent, automatically suspending operation when the temperature rises excessively, and automatically switching light bulbs. Although this was a great first step, Panasonic projectors were still not equipped with any capability to send the data over a network.
