关于客户
Manufacture Belge de Chocolats (MBC) is a Belgian chocolate manufacturer based in Brussels. The company has historically been part of the corporate Godiva family, but in 2019 Godiva sold its Brussels operations. After the sale, MBC became a young, standalone company-no longer a part of Godiva administratively-but still manufacturing chocolates for the brand. The divestiture presented the opportunity for MBC to create its own foothold in the chocolate industry with a new brand-Rosalie's. Whether the customers are retail consumers, private labels, or large food companies, MBC is striving to be an agile manufacturer that can satisfy production demands for all types of customers. In the future as prospective clients request batch orders of all sizes, including smaller batches, MBC will be able to meet those needs easily with its improved manufacturing infrastructure. The ability to manufacture batches of any size is a key goal for the business moving forward.
挑战
Manufacture Belge de Chocolats (MBC), a Belgian chocolate manufacturer, was part of the corporate Godiva family until 2019 when Godiva sold its Brussels operations. This led to MBC becoming a standalone company, still manufacturing chocolates for Godiva but also creating its own brand - Rosalie's. The company aims to be an agile manufacturer that can meet production demands for all types of customers, including smaller batch orders. However, following the divestiture, MBC had to replicate the technical and administrative services that had been centralized under Godiva in the US. This included security, product specification management, and an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. To meet its new manufacturing goals, MBC needed to digitalize its factory and automate its processes.
解决方案
MBC implemented a comprehensive digital roadmap to renew its application landscape within a five-year timeline. The company began renewing its product specification management system in August 2021. To accommodate MBC's new manufacturing goals, the digital transformation required interfacing with various applications to speed up existing processes and avoid redundancy. MBC relied heavily on the advice of its trusted technology partner, Computacenter Belgium, to help it select the right technology. Computacenter presented multiple HPE solutions, with HPE SimpliVity ultimately being the best fit. MBC also implemented HPE InfoSight to monitor the systems and check if a problem occurs. The company plans to replace networking components and wireless network protocols (Wi-Fi) next year. Additionally, MBC's engineering manager will conduct a use case to determine how the company can benefit from and easily implement the Internet of Things (IoT) technology in the manufacturing environment.
运营影响
  • MBC now does more with less hardware than before, using only 25% of what was previously needed.
  • Less hardware in the factory data center means MBC realizes a 50% savings in power consumption, which translates into economical savings and a reduced carbon footprint.
  • The less time IT staff spend on system management, the more time they have to support production line operations and IoT enhancements that drive growth and efficiency.
  • Staff benefit from simple, right-click operations, VM-centric management, and policy automation built into the familiar VMware vCenter interface.
