关于客户
本案例研究中的客户主要是依赖全球物流开展业务的进口商和出口商。这些客户受到了 COVID-19 大流行造成的干扰的严重影响,包括通胀压力、贸易模式转变和物流成本上升。他们必须应对波动的市场,海运价格和进口到美国的集装箱数量都出现大幅波动。此外,他们还必须应对港口工会之间的劳资纠纷和合同谈判的影响。尽管面临这些挑战,这些客户仍在继续寻求解决方案,以确保其运营的效率和有效性。
挑战
自 COVID-19 大流行爆发以来,由于通货膨胀压力、贸易模式转变和物流成本上升,全球物流业面临着严重破坏。海运价格,特别是中国-美国西海岸的运价呈下降趋势,已达到疫情前的水平。截至 2022 年 11 月,美国进口集装箱量有所下降,洛杉矶/长滩等主要港口的拥堵状况显着缓解。然而,自 2022 年 4 月底以来,从亚洲运送 40 英尺集装箱到美国西海岸的运费已下降了 80% 以上,而到东海岸的价格则下降了近三分之二。物流成本的下降主要是由于消费者支出的减少,这影响了过去两年许多进口商的销售。此外,港口工会之间的劳资纠纷和合同谈判也加剧了局势的复杂性。
解决方案
为了驾驭当前的货运市场,建议进口商和出口商比较报价和模式,以确保成本效率和服务有效性。还鼓励他们缓冲货运预算和运输时间的变化,探索仓储方案以减轻美国需求下降和业务限制的影响,并关注货物的盈利能力。建议货运代理定期与客户沟通,尽快预订订单,并确保在货物到达时有人力接收货物。在航空货运领域,行业内存在乐观情绪,因为即将推出的电子产品预计将在未来几个月推动潜在的旺季反弹。与此同时,随着承运人调整运力以适应第四季度运量的减少,亚洲的海运费预计将继续呈上升趋势,从 10 月份的低点反弹。

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.

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
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.

Case Study
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.”
