The Challenge
Trilogy, a multi-location organization based in Australia and New Zealand, is renowned for its high-performance natural skincare products. The company ships orders globally on a daily basis, which necessitates a robust and efficient order management system. Trilogy's e-commerce side involves intercompany drop shipping, which requires compliance with certain standards for generating purchase orders and invoices. The company faced complex issues due to its international order volume and needed a way to automate and simplify their processes. They were using an FTP Server for packing notifications and shipping confirmations, and a custom workflow to automatically generate an invoice once an item was shipped. However, the process was complex and required a more streamlined solution.
About The Customer
Trilogy is a multi-location organization based in Australia and New Zealand, known for producing award-winning high-performance natural skincare products. The company has an international reputation and is respected and endorsed by dermatologists, beauty editors, doctors, and celebrities. Trilogy's Certified Organic Rosehip Oil has an international following. With over a decade of research, development, and natural product innovation, Trilogy makes natural products that not only perform better, they are better – ethically, aesthetically, and environmentally. Trilogy ships orders globally on a daily basis and has done over $12 million in sales in China alone this year.
The Solution
Trilogy consulted with Celigo and McPhee, their 3PL provider, to devise a solution. They decided to use Shopify and Magento 2 integration applications, which were configured to send order information from Shopify and Magento 2 to both NetSuite and the 3PL system upon customer checkout. This solution automated the order invoices and ensured the data complied with Trilogy’s standards. The integration applications facilitated invoices in a really good way, making it easy for Trilogy's accounts team to consolidate and reconcile against payment gateways. The solution simplified a complex process, making it easy for Trilogy to manage their international order volume.

Ensures Tanker Safety and Emissions Compliance
Storage tanks are irregular in shape and a certain amount of mathematical modelling is required to get an accurate representation of volume and, more importantly, the weight of material in each tank. In addition, countries have different emission regulations, so the ships position needed to be accurately known in order to geotag emission data.

Real-time Networked Sonar System for Ships
A multinational, knowledge-based corporation that delivers marine electronics solutions is utilizing industrial Ethernet technology to help ensure that operations at sea are dependable and optimal. Based in Europe, the company has nearly 4000 employees working in 20 countries around the world, and produces high-tech systems for offshore oil and gas operations, merchant marine systems, and various applications for the defense and aerospace industries. The company produces products and systems used by merchant vessels and offshore installations for positioning, navigation, automation, as well as for surveying and monitoring the seabed, and for fishing vessels and fi sheries research. As one of the major suppliers of high quality marine electronics in the world, their products include chart plotters for yachts, triple redundant dynamic positioning systems for oil drilling rigs, and sonar and instrument systems for scientifi c research vessels. Products used for marine applications must be rugged enough to endure the corrosive effects of salt water, and be able to withstand excessive amounts of vibration and shock. For this reason, the company only uses DNV and GL certified products and components to ensure that their systems can meet the high standards required by the maritime industry.

Digital Transformation of Atlanta Grout & Tile: An IoT Case Study
Atlanta Grout & Tile, a Tile, Stone & Grout restoration company based in Woodstock, Georgia, was facing challenges with its traditional business model. Despite steady growth over the years, the company was falling behind the web revolution and missing out on the opportunity to tap into a new consumer base. They were using independent software from different vendors for each of their department information and workforce management. This resulted in a lot of manual work on excel and the need to export/import data between different systems. This not only increased overhead costs but also slowed down their response to clients. The company also had to prepare numerous reports manually and lacked access to customer trends for effective business decision-making.

Mitsubishi Electric's Edge Computing Solution Powered by Wind River VxWorks
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, a global leader in factory automation (FA) applications, identified edge computing as a critical component of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The company aimed to enhance device and data security, reduce data traffic to the cloud, and enable faster response to network or device issues. In 2018, Mitsubishi Electric launched its first line of industrial hardware products designed for edge computing, the MELIPC Series. The primary development goals for MELIPC were to support the type of edge computing promoted by Mitsubishi Electric and to introduce advanced vision technology for device control. The flagship computer of the MELIPC line, the MI5000, was designed to combine real-time equipment control with high-speed data collection, processing, diagnosis, and feedback in a single machine. However, the development team needed a real-time control platform that could seamlessly integrate real-time control with proven analytic and diagnostic applications.
