The Challenge
Ice cream manufacturers in Sri Lanka were facing a significant challenge in transporting their perishable product due to the tropical climate of the island. The temperature inside the containers often reached almost 35°С, causing the ice cream to melt and spoil. Additionally, drivers would often switch off the refrigerators to save fuel, exacerbating the problem. This situation led to substantial losses for both the shippers and receivers of the ice cream.
About The Customer
The customer in this case study is a large ice cream manufacturer based in Sri Lanka. The company has a significant logistical operation, with routes that are quite lengthy (about 250 km). The company was facing significant losses due to the melting and spoiling of their product during transportation. The tropical climate of Sri Lanka, with temperatures reaching almost 35°С, was a major challenge for the company. Additionally, the practice of drivers switching off the refrigerators to save fuel was further contributing to the problem.
The Solution
Kloudip, a telematics service provider from Sri Lanka, implemented the Wialon tracking system in the workflow of the ice cream manufacturer. The solution involved the use of GPS trackers, Queclink temperature sensors, and the Sensolator application. The GPS trackers were installed in all the units and were used to send and receive telematics data, monitor speed, and the location of objects. The Queclink temperature sensors were used to control the temperature inside the containers. The Sensolator application was used for visual control of the temperature data received from the containers. If the temperature rose, the operator would instantly receive a notification from the application.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Coca Cola Swaziland Conco Case Study
Coco Cola Swaziland, South Africa would like to find a solution that would enable the following results: - Reduce energy consumption by 20% in one year. - Formulate a series of strategic initiatives that would enlist the commitment of corporate management and create employee awareness while helping meet departmental targets and investing in tools that assist with energy management. - Formulate a series of tactical initiatives that would optimize energy usage on the shop floor. These would include charging forklifts and running cold rooms only during off-peak periods, running the dust extractors only during working hours and basing lights and air-conditioning on someone’s presence. - Increase visibility into the factory and other processes. - Enable limited, non-intrusive control functions for certain processes.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.

Coca-Cola Refreshments owns and manages Coca-Cola branded refrigerators in retail establishments. Legacy systems were used to locate equipment information by logging onto multiple servers which took up to 8 hours to update information on 30-40 units. The company had no overall visibility into equipment status or maintenance history.
