关于客户
通用电气 (GE) 是一家多元化的全球基础设施公司，为 100 多个国家的客户提供服务，在全球拥有 30 多万名员工。该公司涉足塑造现代世界的业务，收入超过 1500 亿美元。从涡轮机到电视，从家用电器到发电厂，GE 拥有广泛的产品和服务。该公司的全球部署覆盖整个企业，使用多种语言，包括英语、法语、西班牙语、德语、日语和中文。
挑战
由于供应链高度复杂，通用电气面临着管理全球 70 多万家供应商的复杂挑战。不同系统中的供应商主数据缺乏架构层次结构、供应商认证、合规性数据和合同。由于供应商信息和分类流程不准确，供应商迅速激增且缺乏适当的控制，整个企业的支出缺乏可见性。该公司需要一种解决方案，可以提供一个全球部署的单一供应商主数据管理解决方案，为整个组织的供应商创建一个“真实来源”。
解决方案
GE 实施了 Aravo 供应商生命周期管理解决方案。Aravo SLM 是一个软件即服务 (SaaS) 平台，使 GE 等企业能够自动化和管理全球供应商生命周期流程，从而提高供应商管理效率、改善供应商数据质量、降低成本并增强与供应商谈判更有利条款的能力。GE 现已启用 Aravo SLM，以六种语言管理 700,000 家供应商。Aravo SLM 将继续在全球用户中推广，并在 2011 年剩余时间内被新业务部门采用。Aravo SLM 是在高度可配置的 SaaS 平台上交付的，尽管数据类型、业务需求和流程极其复杂，但 GE 仍可快速部署。

Predictive maintenance in Schneider Electric
Schneider Electric Le Vaudreuil factory in France is recognized by the World Economic Forum as one of the world’s top nine most advanced “lighthouse” sites, applying Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies at large scale. It was experiencing machine-health and unplanned downtime issues on a critical machine within their manufacturing process. They were looking for a solution that could easily leverage existing machine data feeds, be used by machine operators without requiring complex setup or extensive training, and with a fast return on investment.

Leveraging the IoT to Gain a Competitive Edge in International Competition
Many large manufacturers in and outside Japan are competing for larger market share in the same space, expecting a growing demand for projectors in the areas of entertainment, which requires glamor and strong visual performance as well as digital signage that can attract people’s attention. “It is becoming more and more difficult to differentiate ourselves with stand-alone hardware products,” says Kazuyuki Kitagawa, Director of Service & Support at Panasonic AVC Networks. “In order for Panasonic to grow market share and overall business, it is essential for us to develop solutions that deliver significant added value.” Panasonic believes projection failure and quality deterioration should never happen. This is what and has driven them to make their projectors IoT-enabled. More specifically, Panasonic has developed a system that collects data from projectors, visualizes detailed operational statuses, and predicts issues and address them before failure occurs. Their projectors are embedded with a variety of sensors that measure power supply, voltage, video input/ output signals, intake/exhaust air temperatures, cooling fan operations, and light bulb operating time. These sensors have been used to make the projector more intelligent, automatically suspending operation when the temperature rises excessively, and automatically switching light bulbs. Although this was a great first step, Panasonic projectors were still not equipped with any capability to send the data over a network.
