挑战
Granado Pharmácias, Brazil’s oldest cosmetics company, was looking to modernize its traditional manufacturing process to improve production and product traceability. This was crucial for the company to strengthen its brand internationally and continue its expansion. The company had to ensure repeatability in all its production processes and much better traceability of manufacturing information. Any quality issue would result in a product being rejected at the end of the manufacturing chain, affecting output. The company’s management decided to integrate the latest industrial automation into the company’s traditional production process, and began a potentially tricky digital transformation.
关于客户
Founded in 1870, Granado Pharmácias is Brazil’s oldest, and one of its biggest, cosmetics brands. It boasts a portfolio of more than 600 premium products, including soaps, creams, and perfumes, based on natural ingredients. Since its beginnings as a traditional apothecary in Rio de Janeiro, Granado has grown into an international business. It now operates stores in major European cities, as well as an online business that serves more than 30 countries. To continue expanding and strengthening its international brand, Granado had to make sure its high product standards were always maintained.
解决方案
Schneider Electric was chosen to implement Granado’s modernization project at the company’s Japeri plant. The upgrade was particularly challenging as the 30,000 square-meter factory operated almost completely manually, resulting in difficulties in diagnosing failures, inconsistencies in product quality, and a lack of process repetitiveness. Schneider Electric offered powerful solutions based on EcoStruxure™ Plant, an IoT-enabled, open and interoperable architecture and platform. These included EcoStruxure Hybrid DCS, a single automation system for plant engineering and operation, as well as AVEVA's Batch Management control system for building and controlling complex batching processes, and Historian, AVEVA's high-performance real-time database of historical information for building and visualizing production reports.

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.

Revolutionizing Rodent Control
From pet- and child-safe traps, to touch-free and live-catch rodent control solutions, Victor continues to stay committed to producing superior products that meet the varying needs of today’s pest control professionals. And, with a long standing history supporting customers in the food processing, service, and retail settings, Victor knew that strict regulations were costing organizations thousands of dollars in excess overhead trying to manage their rodent-control solutions. Trap inspections in these environments are often difficult and time consuming, requiring personnel to manually check a trap’s status multiple times per day, amounting to over six hours of manual labor. Victor is looking for an innovative way to increase operational efficiencies with the use of technology.
