关于客户
ForbiddenPlanet.com is the leading science fiction retailer in Europe. The company is best known for its comic book subscription services available through its website, but it also offers a wide range of science fiction memorabilia, from lightsabers to TARDIS replicas. The company has 130,000 products on its website, 30,000 in its flagship London store, and more in other stores throughout the UK. It also provides a variety of comics, graphic novels, and books for purchase. The company's product volume and diversity are signs of a vibrant market and effective business model. However, the fast-paced nature of the comics business presents a challenge in estimating the number of each product needed for customers.
挑战
ForbiddenPlanet.com, a leading science fiction retailer in Europe, was struggling with data analysis. The company had a vast amount of data but lacked a system for effective analysis. This was particularly problematic in their fast-paced comics business, where new editions are released weekly and accurate estimations of product demand are crucial. The company's management account meetings were inefficient, with an 80-page management pack of quarterly account data that was already out of date by the time of the meeting. The lack of real-time data analysis led to meetings ending with more questions than answers.
解决方案
ForbiddenPlanet.com decided to adopt Qlik, a data analysis platform, to improve their data analysis capabilities. After a week of learning the software, the company was able to take a deep dive into product management analysis, determining their fastest and slowest sellers, where there was excess stock, and where they had no remaining stock. The company then presented live analytics during a management account meeting, which was met with awe and led to the approval of the purchase of 30 new licenses for Qlik Sense. The company also prioritized data literacy and data governance, ensuring that every new user of the program went through a full training session. They adopted the three Ts: tried, tested, and true, encouraging users to test the program by creating reports using the current method, and then compare the data using Qlik.

Case Study
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.

Digital Retail Security Solutions
Sennco wanted to help its retail customers increase sales and profits by developing an innovative alarm system as opposed to conventional connected alarms that are permanently tethered to display products. These traditional security systems were cumbersome and intrusive to the customer shopping experience. Additionally, they provided no useful data or analytics.
Case Study
Ensures Cold Milk in Your Supermarket
As of 2014, AK-Centralen has over 1,500 Danish supermarkets equipped, and utilizes 16 operators, and is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. AK-Centralen needed the ability to monitor the cooling alarms from around the country, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Each and every time the door to a milk cooler or a freezer does not close properly, an alarm goes off on a computer screen in a control building in southwestern Odense. This type of alarm will go off approximately 140,000 times per year, equating to roughly 400 alarms in a 24-hour period. Should an alarm go off, then there is only a limited amount of time to act before dairy products or frozen pizza must be disposed of, and this type of waste can quickly start to cost a supermarket a great deal of money.
Case Study
Supermarket Energy Savings
The client had previously deployed a one-meter-per-store monitoring program. Given the manner in which energy consumption changes with external temperature, hour of the day, day of week and month of year, a single meter solution lacked the ability to detect the difference between a true problem and a changing store environment. Most importantly, a single meter solution could never identify root cause of energy consumption changes. This approach never reduced the number of truck-rolls or man-hours required to find and resolve issues.
