Manufacturing Intelligence

Industry Challenges

Tier One manufacturers face incredible pressure to boost productivity and improve financial performance – while at the same time OEMs expect you to reduce cost. Even the smallest inefficiency – from the plant floor or top floor – can translate into significant financial consequences. Gaining visibility into plant operations and equipment status represents a critical step for manufacturers competing for market share in a global economy.

Accessing production information and generating accurate reports is complicated by:

• Data streams to front-line employees and management are in different formats
• Technologies and systems were not built from the get-go to talk together
• Everyone’s need for information varies depending on their organization role and responsibility

With customers demanding innovation and competition moving faster and faster to deliver it, information must be delivered to the right people, at the right time – and it must be accurate the first time. Streamlining manufacturing requires real-time visibility into plant floor operations.

Manufacturing Intelligence Best Practice

Better informed people do a better job. The Manufacturing Intelligence module improves performance by enhancing visibility into plant operations and improving decision making. The benefits include:

• Improve overall equipment effectiveness
• Eliminate bottlenecks
• Improve cycle times and workflow
• Better communication across the enterprise
• Accurate information is always at hand

Create personalized dashboards to communicate real-time status of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Now you can view all your manufacturing data from one common interface – anytime, anywhere. Eliminate production bottlenecks – and respond quicker to concerning situations.
