关于客户
American Metalcraft 是一家领先的厨房和餐厅用品批发生产商,总部位于伊利诺伊州富兰克林。该公司于 20 世纪 40 年代开始生产汽车轮毂盖,现已转型为全国主要的厨房和餐厅用品批发商。他们向全国批发买家销售 3000 多种注重潮流的酒吧、厨房、桌面和自助餐用品产品。该公司专注于产品开发,并拥有转型历史,从生产轮毂盖转向生产厨房和餐厅用品就可以看出这一点。
挑战
American Metalcraft 是一家领先的厨房和餐厅用品批发生产商,一直在与过时的供应链流程作斗争。该公司专注于产品开发,导致忽视了供应链流程的升级。传统的物流流程使该公司难以有效管理其在途库存并准确衡量其总产品成本。该公司与一家货运代理合作了十多年,这种关系被描述为“典型的遗产”。该团队总是等待几天才能获得发货更新,这对于拥有数千件同时移动库存的公司来说是一个重大挑战。
解决方案
American Metalcraft 寻求对其供应链的货运代理部分进行数字化升级,并在 Flexport 中找到了基于技术的解决方案。该解决方案为他们的采购和财务团队提供了对供应链中发货的更多可见性和控制力,使他们能够做出更明智、更快速的决策。借助 Flexport,American Metalcraft 的采购团队获得了在途库存的更大透明度,使他们能够更快、更智能地行动。财务团队还受益于实时通知和增加的可见性,这使他们能够及时提取财务数据来评估供应链的财务健康状况。 Flexport 平台上提供的发票数据使他们能够准确计算整个运输过程中的产品成本,并有效地将在途货物与资产负债表上的货物进行核对。

Case Study
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.

Case Study
IoT-based Fleet Intelligence Innovation
Speed to market is precious for DRVR, a rapidly growing start-up company. With a business model dependent on reliable mobile data, managers were spending their lives trying to negotiate data roaming deals with mobile network operators in different countries. And, even then, service quality was a constant concern.

Case Study
Digitize Railway with Deutsche Bahn
To reduce maintenance costs and delay-causing failures for Deutsche Bahn. They need manual measurements by a position measurement system based on custom-made MEMS sensor clusters, which allow autonomous and continuous monitoring with wireless data transmission and long battery. They were looking for data pre-processing solution in the sensor and machine learning algorithms in the cloud so as to detect critical wear.

Case Study
Cold Chain Transportation and Refrigerated Fleet Management System
1) Create a digital connected transportation solution to retrofit cold chain trailers with real-time tracking and controls. 2) Prevent multi-million dollar losses due to theft or spoilage. 3) Deliver a digital chain-of-custody solution for door to door load monitoring and security. 4) Provide a trusted multi-fleet solution in a single application with granular data and access controls.

Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
