About The Customer
Amazon, a global leader in e-commerce, has been at the forefront of innovation in the retail industry. Since its inception, Amazon has revolutionized the way people shop online, offering a vast selection of products and services to customers worldwide. With a strong focus on customer satisfaction, Amazon continuously seeks to enhance the shopping experience by leveraging advanced technologies. The company has a significant presence in multiple countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, India, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates. As a large corporate entity, Amazon is committed to providing its customers with the best possible shopping experience, utilizing cutting-edge technologies to streamline processes and improve customer satisfaction.
The Challenge
In the competitive retail industry, customer reviews have become a crucial element for shoppers to make informed purchasing decisions. Since the introduction of customer reviews by Amazon in 1995, the platform has continuously evolved to enhance the review process, making it easier for customers to submit reviews and add new content types like photos and videos. However, with the vast amount of reviews available, it can be challenging for customers to quickly determine the overall sentiment and key features of a product. This situation necessitated a solution that could provide a concise and clear overview of customer opinions, helping shoppers to quickly assess whether a product meets their needs.
The Solution
To address the challenge of providing a clear and concise overview of customer opinions, Amazon introduced an AI-powered feature in 2023. This feature generates a short paragraph on the product detail page, highlighting shared positive, neutral, and negative opinions from customers about a product and its features. The AI-generated review highlights are available across a broad selection of products, allowing customers to quickly determine if a product is right for them. The feature uses text-based reviews from Amazon Verified Purchases and requires that multiple customers share the same opinion before generating a review highlight. This ensures that the highlights are based on a consensus of customer opinions, providing a reliable overview of the product's features. Additionally, customers can click on specific words or phrases to get more information about particular product features, such as picture quality or ease of installation. This interactive element allows customers to gain insights at a glance and decide for themselves if a product feature is important to them.

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

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.

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.

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.
