挑战
According to the National Retail Federation’s most recent survey, U.S. retail losses amounted to $41.6 billion in 2006, or 1.61% of total sales. A large percentage includes losses stemming from consumers passing bad checks. In Smith County’s fourth precinct, the problem was especially acute. Smith County is home to a large number of universities and a highly transient population, with thousands of individuals moving in and out every year. As a result, tracking down the authors of bad checks can be an almost impossible challenge. “When I took office, there were boxes of bad checks dating as far back as the early eighties,” said Constable Smith. “Tracking down each individual, while important, would require more man hours than we could provide and would have diverted us from other more pressing responsibilities.” After spending several months trying to come up with a solution, Constable Smith came across the answer at a state-mandated continuing education course for constables. The instructor was outlining technical solutions designed to support the needs of law enforcement. One product, LexisNexis® Accurint® for Law Enforcement, stood out.
关于客户
Located in the northeast region of the state, Smith County is the 25th most populous county in Texas. In addition to Sheriff and local police departments, the county is policed by five constables and their subordinates. In June 2006, John Smith was appointed as Smith County Constable serving the fourth precinct. Upon taking office, he encountered a challenging workload, including thousands of outstanding warrants for the arrest of writers of bad checks.
解决方案
Using Accurint, Constable Smith and his staff began opening the archive of bad checks. For most cases they were able to use driver’s license information captured at the time the check was written as the basis for the Accurint search. Ninety-five percent of the time these searches were successful in identifying and locating the check writer—even if the check had been written decades earlier and the author had relocated to another state. For the remaining searches, especially those without driver’s license information, Smith was able to locate check writers by searching under last name and first initial. Each Accurint search took seconds, shortening the entire process of locating an individual to minutes instead of hours or days.

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

Smart City Public Safety
Amyx+ worked with a local government authority to develop an Internet of Things-enabled public safety strategy. In the current state, vigilance meant manually scanning through potentially hundreds of analog surveillance videos feeds. Manual, costly and ineffective, the local agency desired to transition from analog to digital CCTV, apply computer vision and other technologies to automatically detect potential crime in progress, expedite and streamline emergency calls and integrate with personal wearables to ensure the safety of their citizens.

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.

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.
