关于客户
Ahlsell AB is a leading wholesaler in the Nordic countries, specializing in the distribution of installation products, tools and machinery, heating and sanitation, and other DIY equipment. The company operates a modern distribution center in Hallsberg, Sweden, which serves as the hub of its business. From this central warehouse, Ahlsell provides rapid order processing and direct deliveries to customers throughout the region. The company is known for its extensive product range and efficient logistics operations, ensuring timely and accurate deliveries to its customers.
挑战
Ahlsell AB, a leading wholesaler in the Nordic countries, faced a significant challenge in their warehouse operations due to the harsh and cold climate of their Nordic warehouse. The company needed robust and reliable printers that could withstand the demanding environment and ensure continuous operation in their 24-hour warehouse. The existing printers were not built for mobile printing and often failed to meet the high-volume thermal printing requirements, leading to increased service costs and operational disruptions.
解决方案
To address the challenges faced in their warehouse operations, Ahlsell AB selected the Honeywell MP Compact Mobile printers. These printers are known for their robustness, reliability, and high performance, making them ideal for the harsh warehouse environment. The MP Compact Mobile printers are mounted on forklifts and connected to the forklift's battery, allowing for mobile printing operations. The printers generate picking labels, part labels, and shipping labels, ensuring accurate and efficient order processing. Additionally, the Honeywell MP Nova printers are used for generating address/shipping labels at the shipping station. The deployment of these printers has resulted in continuous operation, minimal hardware errors, and significant cost savings in service and running costs.

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.
