Tokyo Electrics
Tokyo Electrics is an engineering and manufacturing enterprise. The
company produces a variety of electrical, electronic, and mechanical
equipment for various sectors, including transmission,
transportation, oil and gas, and other allied industries.
Due to the onset of the pandemic, the employees of Tokyo Electrics
had to work from home. The new shift made it difficult for them to
work together, from different locations.
Presently, we would require a Project Management tool that will
help the teams to work from home more efficiently. Better
collaborative tools, presentation tools, screen time regulation,
and recreation tools could help the employees have a more
productive Work from Home experience.
Tokyo Electrics aims to minimize the damages to the environment from
their end. The organization strives to restructure itself as a Green
Company.
TE is looking out for methods to minimize the use of plastic in
their commodities, use renewable sources of energy in the
manufacturing plants, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Tokyo Electronics has partnered with a small-scale agro-based
enterprise to promote its development. However, the collaboration
has not really proved beneficial to the small enterprise. The
enterprise cannot invest large capital directly or indirectly in
high-scale machinery.
To help them out, Tokyo Electronics wants to put forward
cost-effective alternatives for advanced machinery to deliver
similar efficiency.
Tokyo Electronics Hospital caters to the employees of TE and other
residents of the city. Anyone can visit doctors with a prior
scheduled appointment and get the prescribed medication. There are
no charges for the employees and their families of Tokyo
Electronics. However, a fee is charged to the non-employees visiting
the hospital.
TE is planning to implement an efficient registration portal for
the hospital (by means of an app or website). The company wants a
database management system that clearly shows the medical records
of each employee visiting TEH.
Berlin Motors
Berlin Motors is a South German multinational automobile
manufacturer. The corporation is actively involved in the design,
development, manufacturing, marketing, and selling of motor
vehicles. Berlin Motors is the first company in town to start
electric cars.
Initially the sales of the company escalated pretty fast. But due to
problems like difficult access to electric ports and the long
duration to charge the car battery, their sales went down.
The company is trying to introduce new methods to automatically
charge the car without stopping.
The employees at Berlin Motors face a long-standing issue of
shortage of parking spaces. Vehicles continue to outnumber existing
parking spaces, thus clogging roads.
The corporation has been trying to implement smarter alternatives
for a more efficient parking system in the premises.
After the introduction of AI/ML in the car industry the demand for
automated cars has risen. To be the leading supplier in the
automatic car industry Berlin Motors has tried new edge technology.
However, this requires a lot of research and development effort
leading to increased prices and still prone to functionality errors.
The team at BM firm is working hard to strike a balance in terms
of advancements in automated cars, minimum error and the price to
suit people.
One of the competitors of Berlin Motors recently encountered a cyber
invasion into their infrastructure. Cyber thieves use a variety of
techniques, including attacks on critical infrastructure, industrial
espionage, phishing emails, and drive-by downloads, which can result
in faulty goods, production downtime, the theft of sensitive
information, and more.
The IT Department at Berlin Motors is under real pressure to
compile a secure system that can protect the company from any such
cyber threat/attack.
Denver Travel Co.
Denver Travel Co. is a private retailer that provides travel and
tourism-related services to the tourists in Colorado. However, DTC
wants to make positive changes and make the experience of tourists
more safe and memorable.
Most of the tourists prefer to visit distant and geographically
popular sites in Colorado. The locations are far from urban
settlements. At times, tourists get separated from the group and
cannot find their way back.
The owner of Denver Travel Co. is looking for a dedicated device
powered by solar energy to guide the tourists in remote areas by
using offline map navigation and GPS.
Very recently, there has been an increase in the number of female
tourists in Colorado. Many women have complained about feeling
insecure with certain natives of the place.
DTC plans to provide women with a wearable safety device whose
supporting hardware is connected with central authorities of the
city.
Colorado is prone to frequent natural calamities. To ensure the
safety of tourists and natives,
Denver Travel Co. in collaboration with the city municipality aims
to install a network of end nodes in hilly terrain areas prone to
landslides that can detect any aberrant behaviour of the terrains
signalling a landslide utilising the hills' vibration, land shift,
and rainfall data, and then inform the central node via long-range
RF.
At times tourists in Colorado dine out at varied food joints. Some
tourists are fussy, very particular about their food choices and its
quality.
DTC is looking for a smart device to check food adulteration so
that people can steer clear of unhealthy and harmful food.
Moscow Pharma Ltd.
Moscow Pharma Ltd. is an American multinational pharmaceutical and
biotechnology corporation. The firm develops, manufactures, and
markets medicines or pharmaceutical drugs for usage as medications
to be delivered (or self-administered) to patients in order to cure,
vaccinate, or relieve symptoms.
The everyday activities of the company generate a considerable
amount of solid waste. The MPL committee is looking at installing an
Automatic Solid Waste Collection Alert System, as well as the
necessary software and hardware.
An automated garbage collecting system made up of autonomous
dustbins that may collect rubbish at predetermined times from
preset locations and provide real-time notifications to a central
node regarding the dustbins' current capacity.
The increasing traffic jams in the city are extremely inconvenient
and contribute to urban air pollution. Moscow Pharma Ltd.
experiences delivery delays and loses productivity as a result of
these issues. Bottlenecks slow emergency vehicles, potentially
putting lives at danger.
MPL in alliance with the state governor wants to put together a
smart traffic management system to curb the issues.
Moscow Pharma Ltd. distributes its supplies to a large number of
chemists, hospitals and Drug Dispensing Outlets.
Due to the COVID restrictions, MPL has been approached by these
retailers to help for quicker and safer delivery of medicines and
essentials to citizens, hospitals and medical outlets.
Few board of directors of Moscow Pharma Ltd. are the members of the
Managing Committee of the High School in the city. The pandemic shut
all the schools, restricting teachers and students to their homes.
They need to come up with a more smart and effective online class
interface to help students learn more constructively.
