About The Customer
Electrician Path is designed for current and aspiring electricians looking for their next career opportunity. The app is particularly beneficial for millennials and Generation Z individuals looking to break into skilled trades and grow their electrician careers. Users can be from any state, as the app provides state-specific information and resources. The app is also useful for electrical trade schools, non-union electrical contractors, and trade unions looking to reach a wider audience and attract potential apprentices.
The Challenge
The journey to becoming an electrician is often fraught with disparate paths and scattered information. Aspiring electricians typically have to navigate through trade union apprenticeships, employer apprenticeships, or trade schools, often without a centralized source of information. This lack of a unified platform makes it difficult for individuals to discover the route that best aligns with their career objectives. Furthermore, the process of applying for certificate and degree programs, as well as joining local unions, can be daunting without proper guidance. The challenge was to create a platform that could centralize this information and provide guidance to current and aspiring electricians.
The Solution
Electrician Path, an app developed by Alex Rodriguez and his team, addresses this challenge by centralizing the information needed to become an electrician. The app provides guidance on applying for certificate and degree programs, as well as joining local unions. Users can select a state and browse the available options for becoming an electrician in that area. For each state, Electrician Path provides information and job postings from electrical trade schools, non-union electrical contractors, and trade unions. Users can learn about pay scales, specializations, and current apprenticeship opportunities. The app was built using Bubble, a no-code platform that allowed the team to focus on customer acquisition and quickly iterate based on user feedback.

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.

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.
