About the company
Thule was founded in 1942 by the Thulin family in Hillerstorp, southern Sweden. Today they have 2400 employees worldwide and are global market leaders in a number of product categories, such as roof racks, roof boxes, bike racks used on a car, camera bags, as well as multisport- and bicycle trailers. Their business concept is to offer high-quality products with smart features and a sustainable design that make it easy for people across the globe to live an active life.
Challenges:
Thule felt the urge to push further in certain areas maximizing their use of AWS
With a certain focus on digitalizing various manual processes, implementing them at scale, with an end goal of setting up more connected machinery
Staying on their path of using licenses, based on-prem, and databases to collect data for industry 4.0 purposes was a dead end
Our Solutions:
Building and expanding on top of their established AWS services
A Proof of Cloud Concept (PoCC), was set up as a playground to start testing out and expand ideas
By using the AWS cloud, physical servers on-site were limited to a minimum and in this case only used as Edge computers
Streamlining the processes, and setting up the Infor M3 ERP system as a master and starting point.
Connecting the setup to the on-prem “not previously connected” device, which receives data information back while the process is ongoing.
