The Challenge
Jupiter Shop Channel (JSC), Japan’s first television shopping network, was facing several challenges in executing its omni-channel strategy for unified shopping across TV and e-commerce. The company needed a platform that could convert data into actionable insights, simplify workflows, boost interdepartmental collaboration, and improve customer engagement. The IT staff was burdened with increasing workloads, especially in failure investigation, after the launch of an e-commerce site to support the omni-channel initiative. The company was using Zabbix, a software tool for detecting system errors, but it was not effective in handling disparate data sources across multiple servers and operational silos. The IT team had to manually correlate access logs and application logs before they could analyze failures, which was time-consuming and challenging.

About The Customer
Jupiter Shop Channel (JSC) is Japan’s first television shopping network that broadcasts live programs selling lifestyle goods to home shoppers. To support its omni-channel initiative, JSC launched an e-commerce site, which increased the workload of the IT staff, especially in failure investigation. The company required a seamless collaboration between its call center, studio, and production control room to ensure viewers obtain real-time information about order status and merchandise availability when they call. JSC is committed to providing an exceptional customer experience and responds to every customer inquiry within one working day.
The Solution
JSC adopted Splunk, a platform that provided a unified view of data with full visibility into operations. Splunk technology automatically consolidated and indexed all types of logs, enabling the IT team to search, correlate, visualize, analyze, and report on any log data to identify and resolve operation issues. The company streamlined its daily operation by integrating and analyzing mobile application logs and Zabbix logs. Splunk also helped JSC break down silos, standardizing analysis and driving cohesion to gain a complete view of the organization’s data. The platform played a critical role in relieving the burden on IT operations by reducing the time taken to identify system issues across multiple servers. Splunk also enabled JSC to move from passive investigation to proactive analysis with one unified monitoring experience.

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.

Sennco wanted to help its retail customers increase sales and profits by developing an innovative alarm system as opposed to conventional connected alarms that are permanently tethered to display products. These traditional security systems were cumbersome and intrusive to the customer shopping experience. Additionally, they provided no useful data or analytics.

Ensures Cold Milk in Your Supermarket
As of 2014, AK-Centralen has over 1,500 Danish supermarkets equipped, and utilizes 16 operators, and is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. AK-Centralen needed the ability to monitor the cooling alarms from around the country, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Each and every time the door to a milk cooler or a freezer does not close properly, an alarm goes off on a computer screen in a control building in southwestern Odense. This type of alarm will go off approximately 140,000 times per year, equating to roughly 400 alarms in a 24-hour period. Should an alarm go off, then there is only a limited amount of time to act before dairy products or frozen pizza must be disposed of, and this type of waste can quickly start to cost a supermarket a great deal of money.

Supermarket Energy Savings
The client had previously deployed a one-meter-per-store monitoring program. Given the manner in which energy consumption changes with external temperature, hour of the day, day of week and month of year, a single meter solution lacked the ability to detect the difference between a true problem and a changing store environment. Most importantly, a single meter solution could never identify root cause of energy consumption changes. This approach never reduced the number of truck-rolls or man-hours required to find and resolve issues.
