The Challenge
Asiana Airlines needed a streamlined process for handling data and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements to avoid delays and penalties. The airline faced challenges in ensuring compliance with country-specific regulations for electronic customs and security clearance, monitoring compliance with the EU-wide Import Control System (ICS), and avoiding costly shipment delays and fines.
About The Customer
Asiana Airlines, a member of the Star Alliance network, was established in 1988 with a focus on maximum safety and customer satisfaction. The airline operates cargo traffic worldwide on over 27 domestic and international routes, connecting 30 cities in 15 countries. Asiana Airlines is a global, five-star airline with a fleet of 84 aircraft and is headquartered in Beijing, China. The airline is known for its uncompromising approach to customer service and has developed into a major player in the global aviation industry.
The Solution
BluJay Solutions provided Asiana Airlines with a single system to handle critical capabilities such as global shipments, real-time visibility on goods in transit, comprehensive reporting, and connectivity to carriers and government regulatory agencies. The platform ensures compliance with regulations in individual countries and provides a secure data exchange with local customs authorities. The initial implementation covers air cargo activities and ICS compliance in Germany, with the potential to extend to additional countries. BluJay continuously updates the system to meet regulatory requirements, helping Asiana Airlines avoid costly delays due to changes in customs procedures.

Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
