About The Customer
Monetary LLC is a payments processing company based in Denver, Colorado. Founded by industry veterans, Monetary offers a connected commerce platform that works exclusively with Point Of Sale systems. The platform integrates payment, gift, loyalty, and syncing capabilities to take relevant data from the POS to create a targeted, automated marketing platform for merchants. As an early-stage company, Monetary is rethinking the payments and credit card processing industry. They follow best practices and use only test data in the Postman app and Postman monitors to maintain PCI compliance.
The Challenge
Monetary, a Denver-based payments processing company, offers a connected commerce platform for Point-of-Sale (POS) developers and retailers. The platform provides unprecedented access to purchasing data to deliver a more personalized consumer experience and generate increased revenue. However, the Monetary development team faced challenges in staying synchronized with the latest versions of their API tests. The complex testing methodology for their APIs required them to run millions of monitoring requests every month using Postman. They needed to store response information in environment variables to use in other requests. Additionally, as an early-stage company rethinking the payments and credit card processing industry, Monetary had to ensure strict adherence to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS).
The Solution
Monetary adopted Postman Pro for team collaboration and source control, which helped them stay synchronized with the latest versions of their API tests. They used Postman tests to store response information in environment variables to use in other requests. The team also focused on synthetic testing to simulate common customer behaviors and identify potential performance issues. They scheduled a suite of tests to run every 5 minutes to monitor their production platform. The team tightly coupled monitoring and alerting, relying on Postman Pro integrations, such as sending alerts to Slack or PagerDuty to inform on-call staff when there were failures. For PCI compliance, Monetary used only test data in the Postman app and Postman monitors. Postman was the perfect out-of-the-box solution that maintained PCI compliance.

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.

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.
