关于客户
Flyer Enterprises is the student-run business program at the University of Dayton. It is the fourth largest student-run business in the nation, with seven divisions and approximately 200 employees. The organization manages various retail, convenience, and food businesses on campus while also researching and planning for the establishment of new businesses. In order to most efficiently and effectively run its various on-campus ventures, as well as to demonstrate success to its Board of Directors, Flyer Enterprises relies heavily on financial analysis and reporting.
挑战
Flyer Enterprises, a student-run business program at the University of Dayton, was struggling with its traditional methods of analyzing data. The organization was manually entering numbers from flat files generated in internal operating systems, which was not only time-consuming but also prone to errors. The high turnover rates typical for a student-run business meant that the organization couldn’t devote adequate time toward training employees on its complicated analytical processes. Even after consolidating its data into a Data Warehousing environment, Flyer Enterprises was still lacking a method of viewing and analyzing its business information.
解决方案
Flyer Enterprises deployed Tableau in each of its seven divisions, resulting in a significant increase in the quality and effectiveness of its analytical reports. The organization was able to uncover several errors in previous reports that were not evident without Tableau’s powerful visual data analysis capabilities. Financial managers in each of the divisions now use Tableau to analyze real-time sales data by hour, menu item, location, etc., enabling them to make more informed business decisions and more effectively demonstrate financial success to Flyer Enterprise executives, its Board of Directors, and strategic venture partners. Due to Tableau’s intuitive nature and easily accessible on-demand training courses, Flyer Enterprises was able to significantly decrease time spent training employees on its analytical processes, enabling more people to benefit from Tableau.

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.
Case Study
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.
