关于客户
Panasonic Electric Works Information Systems is a leading IT company focused on improving people’s homes and lives. The company comprises six main businesses – Lighting, Information Devices, Electronics, Building Materials, and Control Devices. Each is run autonomously, but all have made data analysis a priority since the 1990s. The Information Systems group at Panasonic Electric Works (PEW) has been supporting the company’s technology needs for the past 40 years. When the organization spun off from Panasonic Electric Works Group in 1999, it transformed itself into a cutting-edge technology company, providing superior capabilities and a broad range of services that includes everything from consulting to full-time system maintenance.
挑战
Panasonic Electric Works (PEW) recognized the importance of using the massive volume of data generated from daily corporate activities to evaluate the state of the business and forecast future conditions. However, the reporting tools chosen and implemented by end users required extensive data preparation before analysis, leading to significant dependence on IT. The Lighting and Control Device Divisions of PEW needed a data-analysis platform that could better support supply-chain management and work seamlessly with the related systems that were deployed a few years prior. They needed a tool that offered simple data preparation, so reports could be generated and modified quickly based on user requests.
解决方案
PEW chose WebFOCUS as their business intelligence solution. The Lighting Division reconfigured its data warehouse environment to enable data analysis. Data is incorporated into the data warehouse server from multiple systems, such as the product management application. Information is then organized for fast, easy retrieval and analysis by end users. The Control Device Division also leverages WebFOCUS to report and analyze very detailed data from production, delivery, and sales management systems. The Operation Devices Division (ODD) uses WebFOCUS to provide 20 to 30 different reports highlighting sales activities and related statistics, which are used by 300 employees of PEW’s Automation Controls Co., Ltd., the subsidiary that oversees sales.

Case Study
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.
