关于客户
本案例研究中的客户是宾夕法尼亚州的一家杂货经销商。他们的运输和销售业务严重依赖手动流程,事实证明这既耗时又低效。该分销商每年处理大量货物,约为 400 批,其中大部分是冷藏货物。他们与不同地区的 50 多家经纪人合作,将承运商列表导入到他们决定使用的任何运输软件中,这对于最大限度地减少服务中断至关重要。他们还需要一个可以处理盲目运输的系统,为这些货物提供必要的文书工作和标签。
挑战
宾夕法尼亚州的一家杂货分销商在获取货运报价、组织货运、打印标签和跟踪货运方面遇到了低效的手动流程。这是一项耗时的任务,使员工无法专注于销售和业务增长。该分销商每年在全国范围内处理大约 400 批冷藏货物,主要依靠各个地区的 50 多家经纪人。这使得将他们的承运商列表导入到他们决定使用的任何运输软件中对于最大限度地减少服务中断至关重要。此外,分销商需要一个能够无缝处理盲装的系统,为这些装运提供必要的文书工作和标签,并为每批装运设置业务规则。
解决方案
FreightPOP 的运输管理系统提供了杂货分销商所需的解决方案。该系统提供费率运输和现货报价,允许在单个屏幕上进行跨模式运输比较,无需登录和退出承运商网站。它还提供了对预先签约的 LTL 和 FTL 承运商网络以及综合批量运输工具的访问。该系统还向承运人提供实时接受和响应,并“设置后忘记”运输规则。 FreightPOP 的工程师将分销商的仓库和业务系统集成到运输管理系统中,连接到业务工具并支持数百种标准和定制集成。这允许承运人在 NetSuite 内部直接报价,并能够接收、更新和跟踪来自外部应用程序的订单。

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.

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.

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.”
