关于客户
BIC 是文具、打火机和剃须刀产品的全球领导者。该公司业务遍布全球，消费者每天购买 3200 万件 BIC 产品。该公司希望提高其夏洛特包装工厂的手动排序流程的规划范围和准确性。该工厂已接近满负荷状态，如果无法提高生产量，则需要对新工厂进行资本投资。
挑战
BIC 是全球领先的文具、打火机和剃须刀产品制造商，其夏洛特包装工厂的手动排序流程面临挑战。该流程只能预测三天，限制了他们利用改进的生产计划的能力。三天滚动计划导致频繁、昂贵且耗时的转换。此外，夏洛特工厂已接近产能，如果无法提高生产量，则需要对新工厂进行资本投资。
解决方案
为了克服这些挑战，BIC 实施了 Blue Yonder 的工厂规划功能。该解决方案使 BIC 能够共享和协作单一生产计划，让从车间主管到供应规划员的每个人都知道何时可以向客户发货生产订单。该解决方案提供了一个改进的可重复流程，通过每周消除一到两次转换，将生产转换减少了 40%。它还确定了每周 20 小时的额外包装能力，从而无需对新包装设施进行资本投资。

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

Revolutionizing Rodent Control
From pet- and child-safe traps, to touch-free and live-catch rodent control solutions, Victor continues to stay committed to producing superior products that meet the varying needs of today’s pest control professionals. And, with a long standing history supporting customers in the food processing, service, and retail settings, Victor knew that strict regulations were costing organizations thousands of dollars in excess overhead trying to manage their rodent-control solutions. Trap inspections in these environments are often difficult and time consuming, requiring personnel to manually check a trap’s status multiple times per day, amounting to over six hours of manual labor. Victor is looking for an innovative way to increase operational efficiencies with the use of technology.
