The Challenge
When Damartex began its journey, the company grappled with inefficient, time-consuming, and fragmented manual patch management processes. Employees used an array of third-party software management tools, resulting in inconsistencies in patch deployment. The lack of uniformity led to incomplete patching, raising concerns about security and systems stability. The objective was clear: Damartex needed to find an automated solution to address these challenges and transform its approach to IT management. With this goal in mind, Damartex focused on overcoming the inefficiencies of their manual patch management process, which took too long and raised security concerns, and streamlining software deployment within their IT infrastructure and seeking a solution with a centralized platform and user-friendly experience.
About The Customer
As a leading European distributor of clothing for seniors, Damartex stands at the forefront of retail innovation. With a strong market presence in France, Britain, Belgium, and Switzerland, the company ditched manual patching inefficiencies to achieve streamlined, automated processes showcasing its commitment to operational excellence and security. Damartex works toward a fairer, more inclusive, more responsible world that is resolutely Senior-oriented. The company employs over 3000 people and manages over 450 endpoints, making it a significant player in the senior clothing retail sector.
The Solution
Driven by the need for a more efficient and unified solution, Damartex was intrigued by Automox's centralized platform, comprehensive features, and reputation for reliable patch management. The game-changing experience of deploying software and patches with unprecedented ease, coupled with the power of custom Automox Worklets, made Automox not just a solution, but an exciting revelation in their IT management journey. With Automox, Damartex upped its IT management by massively reducing the time and effort spent on manual patching. The centralized platform provided uniformity across various systems, eliminating inconsistencies and enhancing system stability. Ensuring complete and timely patch deployment, Automox mitigated potential security vulnerabilities for Damartex. This increased the overall security of its IT infrastructure and reduced concerns about potential cyberthreats. Automox’s unique Worklets feature allowed Damartex to create custom scripts for recurring problems, increasing the IT team's productivity. Worklets enhanced the team’s PowerShell skills, adding value to their technical expertise while simplifying software management. It was like adding a new specialist to the team.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

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.
