As technology evolves the ability to exchange contextual information with other products, machines and systems will see the demand for digitalisation being increasingly driven down from OEMs through the supply chain.
Companies will need to increase their efforts to find even the smallest margins of improvement to confidently make competitive bids for work. They’ll need the flexibility and real time insight to be able to respond quickly to calls for parts, changing requirements, delays or disruptions. They’ll need to satisfy the demand for live progress updates and traceability of production history. All of this is best supported by validated data captured at point of event to provide people with instant, actionable insights. And by creating repeatable, controlled processes you reduce time spent on non-value adding activities such as paper-based communication or walking around the shopfloor to check progress, freeing people for innovation and creative problem solving.
The benefits of data driven manufacturing
- Support event based and strategic decision making
- Create repeatable and sustainable processes, requiring minimal intervention
- Identify improvement opportunities and accurately measure progress
- Uncover root causes and solve complex problems faste
- Improve communication and increase transparency and visibility
- Reduce risks and make cost savings
