挑战
A Big Box Specialty Retailer entered a strategic relationship with a specific vendor, who had developed an exclusive yoga & fitness wear for Big Box Specialty Retailer and was also seeking to significantly expand its assortment in the women’s running and men’s apparel. The Big Box Specialty Retailer, in partnership with the vendor, engaged First Insight to examine the market potential for the new line as well as identify potentially strong and weak items across the board. The vendor has solid brand equity in footwear, but still struggles to establish a reputation in apparel. The Big Box Specialty Retailer was taking a significant risk in expanding the vendor apparel lines. Retailers in the big box market rarely test items in advance. Buyers typically purchase from CAD drawings and, in apparel, may get to review single samples from the vendor. The vendor was going to support the apparel launch with co-op dollars and adspend. To test the product in time for the campaign, First Insight was able to deliver test results in time for informed key buys. The vision was to reduce the risk for both retailer and vendor in this new program and to allow the Big Box Specialty Retailer to expand its space and inventory investment in the vendor with confidence.

解决方案
First Insight provided a comprehensive market testing platform to evaluate the new apparel line's potential. The platform utilized advanced sentiment analysis and predictive analytics to assess customer reactions and forecast market performance. By categorizing each item into one of six recommendation buckets based on value scores and sentiment, First Insight enabled the retailer to make informed decisions. The categories included 'Invest, consider price increase,' 'Invest,' 'Reduce buy,' 'Reduce price,' 'Avoid,' and 'Neutral/Evaluate further.' This granular approach allowed the retailer to strategically adjust pricing, calibrate buys, and negotiate better terms with the vendor. The solution also included real-time data analysis, enabling the retailer to quickly adapt to market trends and customer preferences. This proactive approach ensured that the retailer could minimize risks and maximize returns on their new product line.

Case Study
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.

Digital Retail Security Solutions
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.
Case Study
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.
Case Study
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.
