挑战
Manufacture Belge de Chocolats (MBC), a Belgian chocolate manufacturer, was part of the corporate Godiva family until 2019 when Godiva sold its Brussels operations. This led to MBC becoming a standalone company, still manufacturing chocolates for Godiva but also creating its own brand - Rosalie's. The company aims to be an agile manufacturer that can meet production demands for all types of customers, including smaller batch orders. However, following the divestiture, MBC had to replicate the technical and administrative services that had been centralized under Godiva in the US. This included security, product specification management, and an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. To meet its new manufacturing goals, MBC needed to digitalize its factory and automate its processes.
关于客户
Manufacture Belge de Chocolats (MBC) is a Belgian chocolate manufacturer based in Brussels. The company has historically been part of the corporate Godiva family, but in 2019 Godiva sold its Brussels operations. After the sale, MBC became a young, standalone company-no longer a part of Godiva administratively-but still manufacturing chocolates for the brand. The divestiture presented the opportunity for MBC to create its own foothold in the chocolate industry with a new brand-Rosalie's. Whether the customers are retail consumers, private labels, or large food companies, MBC is striving to be an agile manufacturer that can satisfy production demands for all types of customers. In the future as prospective clients request batch orders of all sizes, including smaller batches, MBC will be able to meet those needs easily with its improved manufacturing infrastructure. The ability to manufacture batches of any size is a key goal for the business moving forward.
解决方案
MBC implemented a comprehensive digital roadmap to renew its application landscape within a five-year timeline. The company began renewing its product specification management system in August 2021. To accommodate MBC's new manufacturing goals, the digital transformation required interfacing with various applications to speed up existing processes and avoid redundancy. MBC relied heavily on the advice of its trusted technology partner, Computacenter Belgium, to help it select the right technology. Computacenter presented multiple HPE solutions, with HPE SimpliVity ultimately being the best fit. MBC also implemented HPE InfoSight to monitor the systems and check if a problem occurs. The company plans to replace networking components and wireless network protocols (Wi-Fi) next year. Additionally, MBC's engineering manager will conduct a use case to determine how the company can benefit from and easily implement the Internet of Things (IoT) technology in the manufacturing environment.

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.

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.
