Carrefour Egypt, a leading mega-retailer, operates in a highly competitive retail market. To differentiate itself, the company focuses on customer satisfaction by improving quality, choice, and prices. As part of its strategy, Carrefour Egypt is committed to sustainable business practices. Jean-Luc Graziato, the country head for Carrefour Egypt at Majid Al Futtaim Retail, implemented a project to reduce power consumption and ensure uptime in about half of all Carrefour stores. The key goals included measuring energy consumption across stores to identify high- and low-performing stores, using insights from energy dashboards and performance reports to continually optimize power usage, ensuring protection against downtime threats, such as equipment malfunctions or power outages, via timely notifications, and maximizing uptime for power, lighting, ovens, refrigerators, and other business-critical assets.
解决方案
To achieve the goals, Schneider Electric proposed a digital solution that could monitor individual devices and offer expert guidance on power use optimization. The solution chosen was EcoStruxure Facility Advisor from Schneider Electric. Schneider experts collaborated alongside Graziato’s team to adapt Facility Advisor solutions to the specific configurations of 19 stores. The installation and configuration were completed in 16 weeks. The Schneider engineering team analyzes data from Facility Advisor dashboards to provide two annual performance reports to Carrefour. These reports serve as action plans for optimizing energy use. They also allow Graziato to compare one store’s power consumption against another, thus empowering him to create performance benchmarks. Graziato’s team uses the Facility Advisor suite of services to centrally manage each store’s assets and power consumption from a single computer or tablet.

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.
Case Study
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.
