The Challenge
As a decentralized organization, Dorel Juvenile previously relied on multiple, in-market translators to execute translations in its European markets. Efficiency and speed varied among the translators, making it difficult to deliver translations with uniformity. Dorel Juvenile sought the services of one Language Service Provider (LSP) for its European markets to achieve uniform processes and faster translation delivery times. Quality was another incentive. Since the company had no translation memories, glossaries or style guides to draw upon, individual translators provided their own spin during the translation process, making brand voice inconsistent. Dorel Juvenile set out to: Achieve brand consistency throughout its markets, Reduce the amount of time it would take to complete translations, Reach its customers across multiple platforms.

The Solution
Dorel Juvenile selected Lionbridge because of its localization expertise, understanding of market needs and ability to effectively communicate its recommendations. The retail supplier of children’s goods also points to Lionbridge’s customer focus and easy onboarding process as key benefits of the engagement. Lionbridge centralized the translations in Dorel Juvenile’s European markets and provided both translation and transcreation services for six divisions in 11 languages. Transcreation is when a message is adapted from its original language and made culturally relevant to its new target audience. Lionbridge provided comprehensive and multi-faceted services so Dorel Juvenile could produce a variety of marketing collateral and reach its consumers in multiple ways. Among its services, Lionbridge: Translated content for 49 European websites, Translated and transcreated a catalogue that contained more than 150 pages into 11 languages for the Maxi-Cosi line, Translated product descriptions (SKUs) for online shops on Amazon, Translated marketing collateral, such as articles, brochures and product leaflets for store owners and consumers, Contributed to the development of ad campaigns, Translated social media content, including copy for Facebook posts, Instagram and Instagram Stories, Provided subtitles for YouTube videos to showcase products, Translated PowerPoint presentations and product information for mobile training apps to support sales teams. In executing all these translation initiatives, Lionbridge created and implemented the use of style guides, glossaries and translation memories. A style guide is a document that contains the preferred language elements to most effectively communicate with customers in target markets. A glossary is a database of key terminology and their approved translations in all target languages. Translation memories consist of previously translated material that is put into a database and is reused when it reappears in the content being translated. Together, these tools increased the speed and productivity of translations and ensured brand consistency across markets.

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.
