关于客户
The Jersey Post Group is the licensed universal service provider of mail service for the Bailiwick of Jersey, the larger of the two English Channel Islands. Today, Jersey Post employs more than 200 postal delivery workers, serving the island’s approximately 100,000 inhabitants in all of their mail service requirements. Jersey Post has a long history of providing reliable mail services to the residents of Jersey, and it has adapted over the years to meet the changing needs of its customers. With the rise of online shopping, Jersey Post has seen a significant increase in the volume of parcels it handles, necessitating improvements in its delivery and tracking systems to maintain high levels of customer satisfaction.
挑战
As customers have turned to online shopping, Jersey Post has experienced a 196% increase in parcels handled since 2007. Customers expect Jersey Post’s parcel delivery service to be robust and reliable. They also want a real-time view of where their deliveries are and when they will arrive. To meet these challenges and create new revenue streams, Jersey Post needed to extend track-and-trace capabilities across its entire network. However, this was hindered by outdated, bulky handheld devices that could not be upgraded to the Android operating system and the newest technologies.
解决方案
Jersey Post engaged Symec Technologies, a firm specializing in the supply, installation, and maintenance of rugged mobile data capture devices, and Skillweb, a provider of mobile workforce and item tracking solutions. Their goal was to revamp the outdated system to meet customer demands for better notification throughout the delivery process and streamline the customs clearance process for imported items. Skillweb deployed its SmartTask POD software on the latest generation of Honeywell Dolphin™ CT50 mobile computers, which offer 2D barcode scanning and remote management capabilities. The devices feature a modern all-touch interface, which is intuitive and easy for postal workers to learn, and a powerful, fast scanner that helps workers achieve a new level of productivity and efficiency for scan-intensive applications.

Case Study
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
IoT-based Fleet Intelligence Innovation
Speed to market is precious for DRVR, a rapidly growing start-up company. With a business model dependent on reliable mobile data, managers were spending their lives trying to negotiate data roaming deals with mobile network operators in different countries. And, even then, service quality was a constant concern.
Case Study
Digitize Railway with Deutsche Bahn
To reduce maintenance costs and delay-causing failures for Deutsche Bahn. They need manual measurements by a position measurement system based on custom-made MEMS sensor clusters, which allow autonomous and continuous monitoring with wireless data transmission and long battery. They were looking for data pre-processing solution in the sensor and machine learning algorithms in the cloud so as to detect critical wear.
Case Study
Cold Chain Transportation and Refrigerated Fleet Management System
1) Create a digital connected transportation solution to retrofit cold chain trailers with real-time tracking and controls. 2) Prevent multi-million dollar losses due to theft or spoilage. 3) Deliver a digital chain-of-custody solution for door to door load monitoring and security. 4) Provide a trusted multi-fleet solution in a single application with granular data and access controls.
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.”
