The Challenge
Grupo Munreco, a leader in the Spanish watch manufacturing sector, needed a business intelligence (BI) solution that would provide the group with fast access to all company information, as well as a tool to help managers carry out analyses from different perspectives. They wanted a solution that was flexible, fast, user-friendly, and provided self-service BI. The company wanted to optimize its order fulfillment service, monitor each and every one of the orders and repairs processes, and integrate them within an automated warehouse system.
About The Customer
Grupo Munreco is a Spanish manufacturer and distributor of watches and accessories of different brands including Maurice Lacroix, Sandoz, and Viceroy. With more than 25 years’ experience, the company has become the leader in the Spanish watch sector, with a portfolio of brands serving different consumer needs. Based in Alcobendas, near Madrid, it has 200 employees. The company is committed to paying the utmost attention to detail with its products and designs. It aims to produce unique, exclusive items, customised to the needs of its customers. All the watches are original prestige pieces.
The Solution
Grupo Munreco opted for QlikView over other more static solutions and deployed the application in the sales, purchasing, warehouse, and technical services departments. The first phase of the QlikView roll out was done in 2008, with the development of a project for the sales department. Subsequently, in 2010, a second phase was launched in which QlikView was deployed in the company’s technical services business unit. At present 10 users are working with the BI application, from area managers to the most senior executives. With QlikView, different data sources, such as SQL Server databases, Multibase, flat text files, and Excel workbooks have been integrated.

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.
