关于客户
Royal FloraHolland is a Netherlands-based company that connects buyers and sellers around the world through its online trading platform Floriday and its world-famous live floral auctions. The company is the world’s largest flower auction company and has been organizing the international marketplace for flowers and plants for growers and buyers for over 100 years. The company brings supply and demand together for an optimal price and low transaction costs and supplies the world with fresh flowers and plants every day. The flower auction at Aalsmeer, a Royal FloraHolland location, is the world’s largest trading center for plants and flowers.
挑战
Royal FloraHolland, a century-old company, recognized the importance of going digital to provide its growers and buyers with more opportunities. The company wanted to improve current processes and provide growers and sellers with new opportunities to reach buyers. The company recognized its need to reorganize in order to go digital and become more data-driven. Royal FloraHolland wanted to use other trading methodologies outside of the physical auction house to sell flowers. The company also wanted to improve the quality of the images that are presented at the auction and provide buyers with stock availability and alternative options tailored to their preferences.
解决方案
Royal FloraHolland chose to migrate to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and use it to deploy all future applications built in its digital greenhouse. The company built a team to support its digital transformation and partnered with Xebia, a partner with data science and AWS expertise, to help educate its growing data science team and identify use cases in which well-trained deep learning models could drive better business decisions. Xebia helped Royal FloraHolland build a sophisticated container architecture on AWS. The company created an Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) platform using Docker microservices. All workloads on AWS are deployed using automated deployment pipelines and AWS CloudFormation. The company is using microservices and Amazon SageMaker to build models and drive new insights.

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

How Sirqul’s IoT Platform is Crafting Carrefour’s New In-Store Experiences
Carrefour Taiwan’s goal is to be completely digital by end of 2018. Out-dated manual methods for analysis and assumptions limited Carrefour’s ability to change the customer experience and were void of real-time decision-making capabilities. Rather than relying solely on sales data, assumptions, and disparate systems, Carrefour Taiwan’s CEO led an initiative to find a connected IoT solution that could give the team the ability to make real-time changes and more informed decisions. Prior to implementing, Carrefour struggled to address their conversion rates and did not have the proper insights into the customer decision-making process nor how to make an immediate impact without losing customer confidence.

Digital Retail Security Solutions
Sennco wanted to help its retail customers increase sales and profits by developing an innovative alarm system as opposed to conventional connected alarms that are permanently tethered to display products. These traditional security systems were cumbersome and intrusive to the customer shopping experience. Additionally, they provided no useful data or analytics.
Case Study
Ensures Cold Milk in Your Supermarket
As of 2014, AK-Centralen has over 1,500 Danish supermarkets equipped, and utilizes 16 operators, and is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. AK-Centralen needed the ability to monitor the cooling alarms from around the country, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Each and every time the door to a milk cooler or a freezer does not close properly, an alarm goes off on a computer screen in a control building in southwestern Odense. This type of alarm will go off approximately 140,000 times per year, equating to roughly 400 alarms in a 24-hour period. Should an alarm go off, then there is only a limited amount of time to act before dairy products or frozen pizza must be disposed of, and this type of waste can quickly start to cost a supermarket a great deal of money.
Case Study
Supermarket Energy Savings
The client had previously deployed a one-meter-per-store monitoring program. Given the manner in which energy consumption changes with external temperature, hour of the day, day of week and month of year, a single meter solution lacked the ability to detect the difference between a true problem and a changing store environment. Most importantly, a single meter solution could never identify root cause of energy consumption changes. This approach never reduced the number of truck-rolls or man-hours required to find and resolve issues.
