About The Customer
The customers utilizing Vertex AI and its generative AI capabilities are diverse and span across various industries. They include large corporations such as Uber Eats, Ipsos, Jasper, Shutterstock, and Quora, among others. These organizations are leveraging the power of generative AI to enhance their operations, improve customer experiences, and drive innovation. For instance, a fast-food retailer is using AI to analyze video footage for optimizing store layouts, while a financial institution is processing scanned images for accurate data comparison. The customers are typically large enterprises that require robust AI solutions to handle complex data and provide actionable insights. They are looking for ways to integrate AI into their existing workflows to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance decision-making processes. These companies are at the forefront of adopting cutting-edge AI technologies to maintain a competitive edge in their respective markets.
The Challenge
The challenge faced by businesses was the need to accelerate the deployment of generative AI agents to enhance various operations. Prior to the advancements in AI models like Gemini 1.5 Pro, many multimodal use cases were not feasible, such as analyzing video footage or processing scanned images alongside text. Businesses required solutions that could handle large context windows and provide low latency and cost-effective AI capabilities. Additionally, there was a need for AI models that could integrate with existing systems and provide accurate, real-time insights across different industries, including retail, finance, and insurance.
The Solution
Google Cloud's Vertex AI platform, with its advanced generative AI models like Gemini 1.5 Flash and Pro, provides a comprehensive solution to the challenges faced by businesses. The platform offers a wide range of capabilities, including multimodal AI, which allows for the analysis of video, text, and images simultaneously. This enables businesses to unlock new use cases, such as video analysis for retail optimization and image processing for financial services. The introduction of context caching significantly reduces input costs, making it more affordable for businesses to deploy AI solutions at scale. Additionally, the platform's grounding capabilities with Google Search and third-party data ensure that AI outputs are accurate and reliable, meeting the stringent requirements of enterprise applications. Vertex AI's provisioned throughput feature provides predictability and reliability, allowing businesses to scale their AI workloads efficiently. The platform's integration with third-party models and its support for data residency and sovereignty further enhance its appeal to enterprises looking for secure and compliant AI solutions.

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

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.

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.

Real-time In-vehicle Monitoring
The telematic solution provides this vital premium-adjusting information. The solution also helps detect and deter vehicle or trailer theft – as soon as a theft occurs, monitoring personnel can alert the appropriate authorities, providing an exact location.“With more and more insurance companies and major fleet operators interested in monitoring driver behaviour on the grounds of road safety, efficient logistics and costs, the market for this type of device and associated e-business services is growing rapidly within Italy and the rest of Europe,” says Franco.“The insurance companies are especially interested in the pay-per-use and pay-as-you-drive applications while other organisations employ the technology for road user charging.”“One million vehicles in Italy currently carry such devices and forecasts indicate that the European market will increase tenfold by 2014.However, for our technology to work effectively, we needed a highly reliable wireless data network to carry the information between the vehicles and monitoring stations.”

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.
