挑战
Having implemented NetSuite previously, Midwest Equipment (MWE) faced mobility gaps in their warehouse operations. The initial mobile warehouse solution they chose eliminated the need for paper pick slips and manual data entry into NetSuite. However, the service and support for this solution deteriorated over time, leading to stability and connectivity issues. Transactions would take up to 15 minutes to reflect in NetSuite, and the system would often time out, requiring redoing of transactions. Additionally, MWE experienced login issues and difficulties with customizations, making the solution frustrating to use.
关于客户
Midwest Equipment (MWE) is a leading provider of construction equipment tracks and tires, known as the 'Gold Standard' in the industry. They offer parts and services for top brands like CAT and John Deere, setting a high bar for customer service and support. This commitment to excellence has allowed MWE to thrive in a highly competitive market. As the company expanded from a 40,000 square foot facility to one over 200,000 square feet, they needed advanced technology to support their growth initiatives and maintain their high standards of service.
解决方案
MWE decided to switch to RF-SMART after hearing about its dependability and superior functionality from another company. RF-SMART was chosen for its performance, usability, and excellent service and support. The solution provided faster transaction updates in NetSuite, eliminating the delays and timeouts experienced with the previous system. RF-SMART's straightforward prompts on handheld devices reduced errors and reliance on tacit knowledge of warehouse staff. The solution also offered functionalities like item look-up and cycle counting, which were not available in the previous system, significantly improving efficiency and accuracy in the warehouse.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
