关于客户
National Food is a family-owned and operated snack food producer and distributor based in Miami, Florida. Founded in the 1960s, the company has enjoyed decades of success with its tropical snacks, including its signature Mariquitas plantain chips. Despite its success, National Food faced challenges due to outdated technology and inefficient back-office processes. The company serves key customers such as regional and national supermarket chains, including Publix, Winn-Dixie, Wal-Mart, BJ’s, and Sam’s Clubs.
挑战
National Food, a snack food producer and distributor, was using outdated handheld PCs and a mix of software packages that were not designed for the Direct Store Delivery (DSD) industry. This setup made it difficult to generate necessary sales and inventory reports, often taking hours to create a single report. These inefficiencies impacted deliveries to key customers such as regional and national supermarket chains including Publix, Winn-Dixie, Wal-Mart, BJ’s, and Sam’s Clubs.
解决方案
National Food turned to IntegraSys, a Honeywell partner and a leading provider of DSD route accounting solutions for the distribution industry. IntegraSys’ DSD Manager software provided a complete, end-to-end solution for all their DSD needs, including routing, inventory, electronic data interchange (EDI), and a full financial suite with accounts receivable. Additionally, on IntegraSys' recommendation, National Food upgraded its old handheld PCs to Honeywell CN70 mobile computers. These devices are built to withstand the rigors of the DSD environment, featuring ultra-rugged housing, highly motion-tolerant scanning, and large, indestructible keys for heavy data input.

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.
