关于客户
Merrow 缝纫机公司是一家小型家族企业，总部位于马萨诸塞州福尔里弗。该公司历史悠久，可追溯到 1838 年，当时它以 Merrow Mills 起家，是美国第一家针织棉制品制造商。几年后，该公司发明了包缝线迹和用于批量生产的缝纫机。这种缝线仍然用于我们在 21 世纪穿着的大多数服装。如今，Merrow 由 Merrows 的第六代人、首席执行官 Charlie Merrow 和他的兄弟 Owen 经营。该公司生产数千种不同的缝纫机零件，销往 65 个国家。他们还为各种客户和应用制造定制缝纫机。
挑战
Merrow 缝纫机公司是一家小型家族企业，自 1838 年以来一直是纺织行业的先驱。该公司发明了包缝线迹，至今仍用于大多数服装。然而，由于定制的复杂性和成本高，该公司面临着挑战。他们不断为各种客户和应用制造定制缝纫机，这在经济上变得具有挑战性。此外，他们最近的创新 ActiveSeam，一种新的缝线和商业模式，需要无缝订单跟踪、强大的报告和严格的库存控制。他们之前的内部部署 ERP 系统限制多多且笨重，无法支持他们的增长和创新。
解决方案
Merrow 缝纫机公司与 Kenandy 合作，满足其所有 ERP 需求。Kenandy 的云端 ERP 系统为 Merrow 提供了管理 ActiveSeam 创新业务模式所需的功能。该系统可实现无缝订单跟踪、强大的报告和严格的库存控制。Kenandy 的系统还允许 Merrow 自行定制系统，而无需程序员。这使 Merrow 能够更清楚地查看其数据并对变化做出快速反应。与 Kenandy 合作的成功是 Merrow 决定投资 Merrow Global 旗下其他业务机会（如 HydeStore.com、Boston Thread 和 Patch Light）的重要因素。Kenandy 的系统使 Merrow 能够无缝利用信息和资源，从而使公司发展壮大。

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.
