关于客户
Southeastern Foods Merchandisers 是一家位于阿拉巴马州的 QSR 分销商，提供冷冻、冷藏和常温食品。该公司运营着一支由 20 辆卡车组成的私人车队，产品销往田纳西州、密西西比州、佐治亚州、阿拉巴马州和北佛罗里达州狭长地带。该公司拥有固定的路线规划系统，并开发了自己的订单管理系统，该系统与 Aptean 的 Paragon 接口，发送包含交货详细信息的每日订单文件。
挑战
食品服务产品分销商Southeastern Foods Merchandisers 在三月的第一周面临着重大挑战，冰雨和雪覆盖了其大部分网络。这种恶劣的天气条件迫使该公司推迟了向一些客户的交货。尽管天气恶劣，田纳西州、密西西比州、佐治亚州、阿拉巴马州和佛罗里达州北部的餐厅顾客仍在继续下新订单，造成订单积压。该公司通常每天为每辆卡车安排多次取货和送货，因此需要一个解决方案来管理这种意外情况并确保向客户持续供应产品。
解决方案
为了克服这一挑战，Southeastern Foods Merchandisers 求助于 Paragon Systems 的动态路由系统。该软件考虑了本周的历史订单量，为经理们提供了本周剩余时间的预测。该公司的运营总监杰森·切斯特纳特 (Jason Chestnut) 还使用该软件对各种“假设”场景进行建模，以防止出现意外情况，例如，如果某些送货被推迟到周日，司机就必须重新调整工作时间。该公司使用 Paragon 路线和调度软件已有大约六年的时间，每天使用它来微调 20 辆卡车的固定路线，并定期重新设计其整体网络。最近，大约三分之二的航线进行了重新设计，通过减少燃料、里程和劳动力来节省 15% 的成本。

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.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.
