Data is a valuable asset for any manufacturer. However, it is often severely underutilized when it comes to the shop floor. The collection and use of data often center around the aggregation of the data from the various sensors, machines, and information systems such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions, manufacturing execution systems (MES), and more.

However, they often stop at aggregation and visualization. If data is not contextually and continually analyzed in real-time,  production teams are left without actionable data during production runs themselves, unable to identify, react to, and solve issues as they arise.

To identify events in real-time, automate triggers and alerts, and reduce the time it takes to react to events, manufacturers need real-time data that is continually analyzed and delivered to key stakeholders in the most suitable format.  Real-time operational intelligence (RtOI) solutions expertly meet the needs of shop-floor stakeholders by making it possible to leverage data throughout individual production runs and shifts. RtOI solutions serve as multi-source data aggregators, collecting high-resolution real-time data from machines, sensors, information systems, and people, and providing actionable data that can be used to react faster, creating a more efficient and productive shop floor.

Modern factory floors are complex environments that rely on multiple process steps working together with tight scheduling to achieve optimal efficiency. Without real-time insight into how each step is working within the larger context of the process, production teams aren’t able to act during shifts to increase productivity and reduce waste.
