关于客户
Unionwear 是一家定制棒球帽、手提袋和服装制造商。该公司总部位于新泽西州纽瓦克，拥有 120 名工会工人。尽管 Unionwear 位于历史上成本最高的地区，并且在美国处于一个大幅衰退的行业，但它还是通过精益制造和持续改进取得了成功。该公司已经实践了这一流程 9 年，因此，他们的生产率提高了三倍。Unionwear 的主要原材料是面料，客户需求要求他们使用多种颜色和类型的面料。
挑战
Unionwear 是一家位于新泽西州纽瓦克的定制棒球帽、手提袋和服装制造商，其经营所在的市场充满挑战。美国的服装和服饰行业出现了大幅下滑，美国人消费的服装和服饰中美国制造的占比从 1960 年的 95% 下降到今天的 2% 左右。此外，美国家庭的平均服装支出从 4,300 美元下降到 1,700 美元，家庭在服装上的支出占比从 1960 年的 10% 下降到今天的 3.5%。因此，服装行业的就业人数从 1960 年的平均 902,000 人减少到今天的 136,000 人左右。然而，Unionwear 通过采用精益制造和持续改进，成功地在这个充满挑战的市场中取得了成功。
解决方案
Unionwear 采用了 Rootstock Manufacturing ERP，这是一款专为制造环境设计的系统。Rootstock 由云端提供，是 Salesforce 的 Force.com 平台上最大的单一原生应用程序。其设计有利于快速轻松地实施，无需进行重大 IT 基础设施投资，并能够与成功的制造商一起成长。Unionwear 希望采用一种系统，既能增强其为客户增加价值的目标，又不会在维护和维护复杂系统上消耗宝贵的资源。Unionwear 专注于两个主要领域，以继续其持续改进过程。第一个领域是库存领域。精确规划生产所需的材料数量并准确了解在任何特定时刻可用于生产的物料至关重要。第二个领域是效率测量。Unionwear 只测量成品生产的效率，因为准备发货的成品对客户来说才是有价值的。

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.

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.

Monitoring and Controlling Automatic Mixing and Dispensing Machines
As technology advances, textile manufacturing has been transformed from a labor-intensive to a partially or fully automated industry. Automation is significant in all segments of textile production - from spinning to printing, and textile machinery manufacturers are constantly searching for new technologies and automation processes will increase the productivity of their machines. The color paste mixing and dispensing machine is an essential part of the printing and dyeing process. With the advantage of automatically computerized controls and database management, the system can significantly improve its dispensing precision, working efficiency and production quality as well as reducing material consumption.
