About The Customer
Unifaun AB is a company specializing in developing cutting-edge software solutions for transportation management. Their flagship product, Pacsoft Online, is used by over fifty thousand Swedish shipping companies to meet the stringent package labeling requirements of the Swedish Post Office. Unifaun's customers range from small shippers who can use standard desktop laser printers to large shippers who require more robust printing solutions. The company is committed to providing reliable and efficient solutions to enhance the operational efficiency of its customers.
The Challenge
Unifaun AB needed to find a compact, durable, and robust thermal printer for high-volume Swedish shippers using their Pacsoft Online system. The challenge was to meet the stringent package labeling requirements of the Swedish Post Office, especially for large shippers printing 50 or more labels per day. Unifaun's CEO, Staffan Isaksson, tested various printers on the European market to find one that offered unmatched durability and quality, ensuring minimal trouble post-purchase.
The Solution
After extensive testing, Unifaun's CEO, Staffan Isaksson, selected the Honeywell MP family of printers, specifically the MP Compact Series, for high-volume Swedish shippers. The MP Compact Mobile printer was chosen for its rugged and reliable performance in a compact footprint, making it ideal for shippers handling 50 to 500 packages per day. The printer's ability to deliver continuous operation, ease of use, and high performance made it the preferred choice in Swedish warehouses. Additionally, the MP Compact Mobile printer's compact size allowed it to fit easily in tight packing stations, and its unique design accommodated the specific label length requirements of the Swedish Post Office.

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
