挑战
4flow 是全球领先的供应链咨询、软件和第四方物流 (4PL) 服务提供商，面临着重大挑战。该公司正在应对与先前计划的运输流程的偏差迅速增加的问题。及早发现这些偏差对于避免额外成本和保持效率至关重要。然而，如果没有实时数据，实现绝对的供应链可视性是一项艰巨的任务。作为不以车队为基础的中立 4PL，4flow 无法访问实时运输数据。缺乏可见性导致效率低下，并因偏差和例外情况而增加成本，例如逾期处罚和争议管理成本。在最坏的情况下，它会导致供应链中断的时间延长。迟发现的延误意味着采取预防措施所需的时间被浪费，可能导致滞纳金和罚款。如果供应链合作伙伴之间未自动交换运输状态数据，则还需要承运商、客户和运输计划人员之间进行手动通信。
解决方案
为了应对这些挑战，4flow 与 Shippeo 合作，将实时跟踪信息纳入 4flow 综合运输管理系统 (iTMS)。 Shippeo 的实时运输可视性使 4flow 能够提高供应链透明度，并利用数据提高托运人、承运人和最终客户的效率。将实时跟踪信息集成到 4flow 的 IT 系统中，创建了更早识别偏差所需的数据层，从而降低了额外成本并释放了实时跟踪的生产力和服务优势。现在，4flow 的运输执行团队可以立即追踪单个零件，直至运输该零件的卡车。获得的信息和透明度可以随时与客户共享。这种实时数据和优化的预计到达时间 (ETA) 计算，再加上 4flow 对供应链优化的深刻理解，有助于为 4flow 和 Shippeo 的共同客户构建更有弹性、更高效的供应链。

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).
