关于客户
Spectra Wood is a family-owned furniture manufacturer that supplies private-label furniture to large stores and sells directly to consumers. The company has a reputation for quality craftsmanship and has been in the furniture manufacturing business for several years. Spectra Wood's operations involve complex inventory management and manufacturing processes, which require robust and reliable enterprise resource planning (ERP) software to ensure efficiency and organization. The company faced significant challenges with their previous ERP system, which led them to seek a more dependable solution to support their business operations.
挑战
Family-owned furniture manufacturer Spectra Wood supplies private-label furniture to large stores and sells direct to consumers. The company was using a common enterprise resource planning (ERP) software to help manage the business, but the software had a number of ongoing issues that required time-consuming fixes. The issues and downtime ultimately left Spectra Wood unable to rely on their ERP for inventory planning. Spectra Wood knew they needed to find a more reliable ERP with better support in order to manage their inventory.
解决方案
Following an in-depth vetting process that included twenty-five ERP candidates, Spectra Wood chose WinMan, who kicked off the partnership with a thorough and methodical approach for implementing its ERP software. WinMan has also provided superior support for Spectra Wood. “There was one scenario where I desperately needed help, and within hours, WinMan pulled through and saved the day,” said Richard. WinMan ERP allows Spectra Wood to be more organized and efficient with their processes. For example, the software allows Spectra Wood to easily batch all the furniture from specific lines into groups. “This helps us optimize our woods,” Richard said, “and our yields increase because we’re grouping all this furniture together rather than making individual work orders. With WinMan, we are able to tier up the manufacturing process, so we’re not looking at various bits of information.” WinMan has not only helped Spectra Wood improve inventory management and efficiency, but it has also afforded the furniture manufacturer peace of mind with an ERP software and support team that they know they can rely on.

Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.
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
