挑战
Whitmor 是一家专门生产家居整理产品的大型私营公司，在管理其供应链方面面临着挑战。多年来，该公司依赖传统的货运代理，并通过电子表格和电子邮件发票管理其供应链。这种方法使得公司很难进行财务分析或根据历史数据做出决策。由于拥有超过 5,500 个 SKU 和 40 多家供应商，缺乏可见性和数据是一个重大问题。由于缺乏信息，惠特莫尔不得不将关键的供应链决策委托给其供应商和物流提供商。该公司正在寻求一种方法来更好地控制其供应链，并将其转变为战略资产和竞争优势。

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
