Logistics
The Galaxy platform is designed to manage data collected
via M2M, including vehicle telematics. For logistics and
supply chain companies, Gbots can help to navigate
vehicles through less congested routes. Gbots can
increase the benefts from the use of Radio Frequency
Identifcation (RFID) tags on goods, and of satellite
navigation technologies. They can also help to manage
storage facilities and ensure cold chains are not breached.
Retail
Gbots can be used to monitor the energy usage patterns
and the cooling and heating requirements of a retail
unit, ensuring optimum light levels, increased customer
comfort and high reliability. The Galaxy platform and the
Gbots can also be used to create a database repository
of customers’ buying behavior and analyze consumption
patterns with respect to location, demographics,
economic environment and the physical environment
in the store – for example to correlate light levels with
footfall or sales. The expertise created can be used by fast
moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies to plan their
budgets, product launches, product category expansion,
packaging, labeling, and pricing, all of which are driven
by patterns of customer behavior. The system also helps
in protecting inventory, by ensuring goods are securely
stored in appropriate conditions and that cold chains are
not broken.
Utilities
The supply of utilities in many countries is in transition
from a regulated environment to a competitive free-
market, forcing the utility companies to rethink their
strategies and redesign their systems. They are having
to make the shift from supplying a single commodity at a
standard price to becoming enterprises that offer a range
of support services in response to customer needs. Within
this general business context, the recent advances in IT,
such as smart metering, offer opportunities for competitive
advantage and bring new challenges. Technological
breakthroughs in communication and computing are
already reshaping the utility industry. Gbots can be a
valuable tool for utilities to become more responsive,
both to their customers and to increasing pressure from
governments to reduce carbon emissions.
