The Challenge
AAAA World, a leading distributor of consumer electronics and appliances, faced significant challenges in accessing and analyzing data within their Rocket D3 database. The company relied heavily on a consultant to manually run reports, which was time-consuming and inefficient. Employees had to wait for authorized personnel to generate reports, leading to delays in obtaining critical data. The TCL command option was also complex and not user-friendly, further complicating the reporting process. AAAA World needed a more efficient, cost-effective solution to streamline their reporting and data analysis processes.
About The Customer
AAAA World is a prominent distributor of consumer electronics and appliances, operating both a distribution network and a retail showroom named AAAA Universe in Florida. The company offers a wide range of products, including consumer electronics and home appliances. With a focus on providing high-quality products and services, AAAA World has established itself as a key player in the consumer electronics market. The company employs a team of professionals dedicated to ensuring customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. However, the reliance on manual reporting processes and external consultants for data analysis posed significant challenges, prompting the need for a more streamlined solution.
The Solution
AAAA World implemented Entrinsik Informer, a user-friendly reporting and analytics solution, to address their data access and reporting challenges. Referred by a third party, AAAA World chose Informer for its ease of use, flexibility, and automated scheduling capabilities. Informer’s built-in query engine allowed both technical and non-technical users to generate and schedule reports based on live production data. This enabled AAAA World to decentralize report creation, allowing users to customize reports without IT support. The solution also facilitated the automatic scheduling and emailing of reports, significantly improving efficiency and reducing reliance on external consultants.

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.
