Starwood Hotels & Resorts needed a social media management solution to handle 300,000 monthly messages across their 10 brands and 1200+ hotels. Using Sprinklr, they can now monitor channels globally around the clock, respond to guests faster, and route messages to the appropriate teams based on color-coded priorities. Key metrics from Sprinklr have reduced their reporting time by 96% so the team can spend more time on customer service.
Avon Material Handling Preventative Maintenance Case Studyintelligrated
Avon Products relies on highly automated distribution systems to ship customer orders rapidly and on time. To keep the aging systems running optimally, Avon outsources a preventive maintenance program to Intelligrated. Intelligrated's quarterly maintenance visits reduced Avon's unscheduled downtime by 68%, saving costs and improving customer satisfaction. Intelligrated also tracks maintenance work and parts to maximize system uptime.

The document discusses strategic foresight as a tool for territorial governance. It outlines the strategic foresight process, which involves framing questions, scanning horizons, forecasting futures, envisioning preferred futures, planning options, and taking action. Key aspects of the process include identifying drivers of change, creating alternative future scenarios, and moving from planning to implementation.

This article summarizes content from an RSS feed about green transportation topics. It discusses several concepts and developments, including a proposed nuclear-powered car, comparisons of plug-in hybrid vehicles, electric vehicle concepts from Audi and Smart, and technologies to harvest kinetic energy from vehicles and subway trains.
Este documento discute los problemas de la intervención militar internacional en Libia en 2011, incluyendo que estableció un peligroso precedente al asistir en el derrocamiento de Gaddafi a pesar del mandato de proteger a los ciudadanos, costó miles de millones a los países involucrados, y la intervención podría continuar por mucho tiempo con consecuencias impredecibles. También menciona las protestas en Siria y plantea si debería haber una intervención militar allí.
1. The document proposes a strategic research agenda to guide urban research in Europe over the coming decades.
2. It identifies four key pillars of research: society, mobility, ecology, and the economy/innovation. Under each pillar are strategic research issues and "urban images" or future city scenarios for 2050.
3. The agenda outlines instruments like joint projects, data sharing networks, and experimental demonstration projects to coordinate urban research across Europe. The goal is to help cities meet challenges of trends like population growth, globalization, and sustainability.
The Kelly-Moore Paint Company needed to improve the efficiency of its manufacturing process at its San Carlos, California headquarters. It was manually palletizing paint cans and pails weighing up to 70 pounds, which posed ergonomic and production issues. Intelligrated designed and installed an automated system using Alvey robotic palletizers to increase efficiency and safety. The system achieved a 76% return on investment in the first year through reduced overtime and an 80% reduction in changeover times.
This document provides an autodescription of Adolfo Hernández Ruiz, an English teacher at Cuauhtemoc Arias. It gives his name and occupation but does not provide any other details about himself or his work. The document is very short and does not contain much substantive information to summarize.
Kirkland's, a home decor retailer experiencing 30% annual growth, needed a new distribution center design to support higher throughput for handling its diverse products and accommodate growth. Intelligrated partnered with Sedlak to design a new distribution center for Kirkland's that increased outbound throughput capacity by 75% and enabled real-time allocations at product receipt. The new design included conveyors, sorters, and automation to streamline product flow and fulfillment without increasing shifts.
Big Lots implemented a new distribution center in Durant, OK designed to be 10% more efficient than its top performing center. The new center doubled throughput and improved flow using a second discharge point from pick modules. It was completed on time and on budget. Future growth was planned for with capacity to expand receiving and shipping doors without disruption. Speed and throughput were priorities in the conveyor system selection, with the ability to sort 300 cartons per minute, 30% faster than competitors. The control system provides real-time monitoring and troubleshooting to keep operations running efficiently.
This white paper discusses factors to consider when deciding whether to transition a fulfillment operation from manual paper picking to automated paperless picking. It outlines the business challenges distribution center managers face today in meeting accuracy, productivity, and flexibility demands. The white paper recommends starting with a thorough analysis of the current operation to identify weaknesses. Automated solutions like pick-to-light and voice picking can increase productivity by 25-50% and cut training time, helping improve accuracy rates and reduce costs from returns. The document provides an example calculation showing how a 30% productivity gain from automating could result in over $112,000 in annual labor cost savings.

Andrew Carnegie grew up poor in a one-room cottage but became a steel tycoon, donating millions to educational causes. Samuel Walton milked cows and delivered newspapers as a boy but founded Walmart, becoming the richest man in the US. Oprah Winfrey experienced hardship and abuse as a child but became the richest African American of the 20th century and wealthiest self-made woman in America. These stories profile seven entrepreneurs who rose from humble beginnings to achieve great success.
