About The Customer
Revive Kombucha is a beverage company based in Sonoma County, California, known for its craft-brewed kombucha. The company has gained immense popularity and has expanded its distribution nationwide, including major retailers like Trader Joe's and Whole Foods Market. With a commitment to quality and sustainability, Revive sources organic, fair-trade, non-GMO certified ingredients and focuses on producing a healthy and delicious beverage. The company has scaled its operations significantly, moving into a 50,000 square foot facility in Petaluma, CA, and continues to grow its team to meet increasing demand.
The Challenge
Revive Kombucha faced the challenge of scaling its production while maintaining high product quality and sustainability. With rapid growth and national distribution, the company needed to ensure consistent quality across all batches. Additionally, the risk of misprints on lot codes and labels, as well as the need for accurate fill levels, posed significant challenges. The company also aimed to operate more sustainably by monitoring real usage data, such as temperature and water flow, to manage resources efficiently.
The Solution
Revive Kombucha partnered with Samsara to implement IoT sensors and a centralized dashboard for real-time monitoring and data analytics. Samsara's sensors were deployed to monitor and record temperature performance of coolers, ensuring consistent product quality. The system also helped verify lot codes, best-by dates, and label applications, reducing the risk of misprints. Additionally, Samsara's solution enabled accurate fill level monitoring, which improved production flexibility and reduced waste. By providing visibility into plant usage and a centralized dashboard, Samsara allowed Revive to manage quality and plant performance efficiently. The availability of real usage data helped the company operate more sustainably by managing resources like water use creatively.

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.
