The Challenge
When Dominion Liquid Technologies acquired a specialty coffee syrup manufacturer, they faced significant challenges in making the new entity successful. The priorities were to improve traceability, quality, and inventory control capabilities without a huge capital investment. Historically, different teams within the manufacturing process worked in silos, making information sharing slow, clumsy, and error-prone. It was extremely difficult to get accurate and reliable data on inventory levels and expiration dates. The company required a system that could provide real-time information to make better-informed decisions, which was vital for bottom-line growth.
The Solution
Dominion Liquid Technologies partnered with Plex and Revolution Group to deploy the Plex Manufacturing Cloud. The Plex solution was chosen for its real-time, integrated nature, particularly its traceability, quality, and inventory control capabilities. Revolution Group played a crucial role in evaluating ERP solutions and deploying the technology, ensuring that the management team gained greater confidence in decision-making across all aspects of the business. The deployment was completed in just six months, streamlining operations across the board. Technicians can now share data from pre-operational checks, and the new quality control process ensures that specifications are always met. From a business perspective, the management team can evaluate downtime, line productivity, and identify different kinds of scrap to see significant margin improvement. Interdepartmental communication has improved tremendously, and the system has had a spectacular effect on the efficiency of the production floor.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.
