关于客户
AutoZone is a retail company specializing in automotive parts and accessories. The company is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, and employs over 105,000 people. AutoZone operates numerous stores across the United States and has a diverse international supplier base. The company's operations involve complex logistics and transportation processes, which require efficient management to ensure timely and cost-effective delivery of products.
挑战
AutoZone was faced with the challenge of managing 'first-mile' production visibility across a diverse international supplier base. The company needed a solution that could provide comprehensive visibility and control over its global production and transportation processes. The challenge was further compounded by the need to integrate the solution with AutoZone's existing legacy ERP system without requiring extensive reprogramming.
解决方案
AutoZone selected Mercado as their global production management and transportation platform. Mercado's solutions, including Freight Visibility, PO distribution, Production status, Booking automation, and Drayage management, were used to enhance AutoZone's production and transportation processes. To ensure a smooth transition and integration with AutoZone's existing legacy ERP system, Chain.io partnered with AutoZone and Mercado. Chain.io connected the legacy ERP to Mercado's APIs and AutoZone's freight forwarders via custom interfaces, eliminating the need for reprogramming.

Case Study
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).

Case Study
Improving Production Line Efficiency with Ethernet Micro RTU Controller
Moxa was asked to provide a connectivity solution for one of the world's leading cosmetics companies. This multinational corporation, with retail presence in 130 countries, 23 global braches, and over 66,000 employees, sought to improve the efficiency of their production process by migrating from manual monitoring to an automatic productivity monitoring system. The production line was being monitored by ABB Real-TPI, a factory information system that offers data collection and analysis to improve plant efficiency. Due to software limitations, the customer needed an OPC server and a corresponding I/O solution to collect data from additional sensor devices for the Real-TPI system. The goal is to enable the factory information system to more thoroughly collect data from every corner of the production line. This will improve its ability to measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and translate into increased production efficiencies. System Requirements • Instant status updates while still consuming minimal bandwidth to relieve strain on limited factory networks • Interoperable with ABB Real-TPI • Small form factor appropriate for deployment where space is scarce • Remote software management and configuration to simplify operations
