挑战
DEUTZ, a leading manufacturer of innovative drive systems, faced challenges in securing its supply chain and being risk aware. The company had integrated Sphera Supply Chain Risk Management into its global risk management within procurement, but realized that limited visibility into sub-tiers represented a significant risk of supply disruptions or shortfalls. In 2022, the focus was on meeting strong demand, fulfilling delivery obligations, and keeping supply chains up and running. At the same time, the German Supply Chain Act with special focus on human rights and environmental protection along the supply chain, drove companies such as DEUTZ to perform risk management and reporting for all suppliers. DEUTZ’s attempt at manual identification of sub-tier suppliers failed due to two significant hurdles: it did not meet the requirements of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and it involved a high expenditure of time, yet did not provide value to neither DEUTZ nor their customers.

解决方案
To increase transparency across the supply network and uncover sub-tier risks faster, DEUTZ decided to implement Sphera Sub-tier Visibility in 2021. In this approach, enterprises invite their suppliers to join Sphera Supply Risk Network, and to share basic information about their own suppliers. As soon as suppliers upload data on their relevant suppliers, enterprises can visualize their sub-tiers on a digital world map within Sphera Supply Chain Risk Management. Using this collaborative approach enables companies to connect the dots, create multi-tier transparency, and monitor risk below their direct suppliers. With visibility throughout the supply network, companies gain early insights into risks before these become critical. Suppliers benefit from being able to visualize their own suppliers on a world map and receive risk alerts free of charge through Sphera Risk Radar Network Edition. These capabilities empower suppliers to become more risk aware, react faster, and thus avoid disruption in their own supply chains. In this way, the entire supply network becomes more resilient.

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.
