About The Customer
EAT is a successful high street food retailer based in London. The company operates over 100 stores and sells a range of food and drink items. EAT prides itself on making its food fresh in store every day. The company operates in a competitive food and drink industry where the landscape can change quickly due to factors like competitor deals or weather changes. EAT needed a system that could provide managers with instant access to easily digestible information in real-time.
The Challenge
EAT, a successful high street food retailer in London, was facing challenges with its data analysis process. The company was relying on Excel for data analysis, which involved going through numerous spreadsheets to find specific information. The process of downloading data to share with teams was time-consuming and led to inconsistencies when different employees ended up working from various versions of the 'latest' information. This was particularly problematic in the fast-paced food and drink industry where product popularity can change rapidly due to factors like competitor deals or weather changes. EAT needed a system that could provide managers with instant access to easily digestible information in real-time.
The Solution
EAT decided to deploy QlikView, a business intelligence solution that could provide the needed data in a meaningful, rapid way. The QlikView Business Discovery platform was found to be perfect for EAT's needs. The company underwent a company-wide deployment of the tool, which is now being used across all functions of the business – from HR to IT, finance and sales departments, inventory management, and even in food production. Each department now has access to their own individual dashboards, providing directors with all necessary information, whether drilling down into the least profitable products or most successful members of staff. As all data is in real-time, it is consistent across the business so the HR department can be analysing the very same data as IT or Finance, to harness their own insights.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

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.
