Abstract

An Energy Monitor is a device used for measuring energy and displaying the energy consumption. It is widely used in industrial and large commercial settings where high power is consumed. It has been observed that energy consumption can be reduced if monitored regularly and right actions are taken based on observations. There exists a need to integrate cloud technology with conventional technology in electronics product space, thus a Wi-Fi based Energy Monitor helps to achieve new heights in energy conservation. This technical paper aims to optimize cost and weight of a Wi-Fi based energy monitor to drive profitability, improve the reliability and increase the Value proposition of the product by the application of Value Analysis Methodology. A cross-functional Value Engineering team was formed to perform a case study on the Wi-Fi based Energy Monitor to identify the potential areas for optimization through Functional Analysis and Decision Matrix. The application of VAVE tools resulted in higher savings, decreased fault rate and reduction in weight of the product which led to a decrease in freight charges for the organization and increased the overall Value to the customers.

Abstract

Supply chain traceability is one of the most important problems faced by all organizations globally. Tracking any commodity is a tedious job and requires a lot of manual attention. The existing system uses a centralised database system to track a commodity. Blockchain is a decentralised, immutable ledger managed by a cluster of computers. The very nature of blockchain makes it suitable technology for traceability in a supply chain. Blockchain creates immutable records. Once a transaction is stored in the blockchain, it is impossible to tamper it illegally. This immutability of blockchain builds trust among the participants that conduct business in a lack of trust environment. Using consensus protocols, blockchain builds trust between the various participants. Blockchain provides traceability since immutable records are added in blockchain; it is easy to track the source of the product. This paper illustrates the Application of Blockchain in Agri-Food Supply Chain. It unfolds how blockchain technology can be integrated to an Agri Supply Chain and improves the traceability. This integration enables companies to quickly track unsafe products back to their source and see where else they have been distributed. This integration can result to prevent illness and save lives, as well as reduce the cost of product recalls.
