About The Customer
Neon Buddha is a Canadian female clothing brand that has been in business for about twenty years. The company offers an inclusive fashion experience to women of all sizes and shapes, with an all-female design team based in Montreal. Neon Buddha's clothing is designed for both travel and everyday wear, reflecting a synergy between travel, adventure, and fashion. The company's ethos is encapsulated in its tagline 'Express Your Zen', representing a balance of expressiveness and calmness. Neon Buddha has a small team of 15 employees.
The Challenge
Neon Buddha, a Canadian clothing brand, was struggling with the management of its business processes. The company's workflow involved several processes from idea conception to production and marketing, which were serviced by a myriad of standard operating procedures (SOPs). However, these SOPs were created in Word documents and Excel sheets, leading to disorganization and inefficiency. Employees had to scramble to find the information they needed for work, wasting valuable time and resources. The lack of a centralized, accessible system for managing SOPs was hindering the company's growth and diverting attention from the high-level creativity needed to excel in the competitive fashion industry.
The Solution
Neon Buddha turned to SweetProcess, a cloud-based business process management system, to streamline its operations. SweetProcess offered several key features that addressed the company's challenges. Firstly, it provided easy process documentation, allowing Neon Buddha to create and manage SOPs without the hassle of creating new layouts from scratch. Secondly, SweetProcess offered remote access and user-rights controls, enabling employees to access SOPs from anywhere and ensuring that the right people had access to the right information. Thirdly, SweetProcess facilitated collaboration among teams, allowing employees to work together on projects and contribute to achieving set goals. Lastly, SweetProcess could be integrated with other productivity tools, simplifying the workflow and saving time and energy. Additionally, SweetProcess allowed users to download all their files if they chose to opt-out, addressing a major concern of the company.

Fire Alarm System and Remote Monitoring Sytem
Fire alarm systems are essential in providing an early warning in the event of fire. They help to save lives and protect property whilst also fulfilling the needs of insurance companies and government departments.Fire alarm systems typically consist of several inter-linked components, such as smoke detectors, heat detector, carbon monoxide, manual call points, sounders, alarm and buzzer. The fire alarm system should give immediate information in order to prevent the fire spread and protect live and property.To get maximum protection a shoe manufacturer in Indonesia opted for a new fire alarm system to monitor 13 production sites spread over 160 hectars. Although the company had an existing fire alarm system, it could not be monitored remotely.It was essential that the new system would be able to be monitored from a central control room. It needed to be able to connect to the existing smoke detector and manual call point. Information should be easily collected and passed on to the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. Furthermore, the system should have several features such as alarm management, auto reporting, being connected to many client computers without additional cost, and run 24/7 without fails. The company also needed a system which could be implemented without changing the architecture of the existing fire alarm system.

IoT Applications and Upgrades in Textile Plant
At any given time, the textile company’s manufacturing facility has up to 2,000 textile carts in use. These carts are pushed from room to room, carrying materials or semi-finished products. Previously, a paper with a hand-written description was attached to each cart. This traditional method of processing made product tracking extremely difficult. Additionally, making sure that every cart of materials or semi-finished products went to its correct processing work station was also a problem. Therefore, the company desired an intelligent solution for tracking assets at their factories. They also wanted a solution that would help them collect process data so they could improve their manufacturing efficiency.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
