Data is King

Manufacturing is changing. US manufacturing jobs are being lost due to technology and automation. This trend is expected to continue because of the age of most manufacturing equipment in the US.

Manufacturers will be changing out almost all of their equipment over the next 7 to 10 years. When this happens, more automation and artificial intelligence will be in place and more data will be generated.

What is Manufacturing Analytics?

There are a lot of manufacturing software systems on the market today and it can be confusing when selecting the right tool to solve a specific problem. The problem with the standard, and most standards, is that most companies don’t fit the standard. The unique aspects of each company cause this model to collapse and requires software to cross these boundaries.

This white paper outlines how manufacturing analytics are different than ERP, SCADA, MES, BI, or other technology systems.

We also highlight how it should co-exist and improve the way these other technologies operate by providing data insights that drive business value.

What's the Value?

Manufacturing is changing. Gone are the days of simply making physical products. Changes in consumer demand, supply chain, and technology are forcing manufacturers to evolve and adapt. These trends are expected to continue. As companies embrace the future of manufacturing, more automation will be in place and more data will be generated.

The most successful manufacturers are the ones that will collect, understand, and leverage their data to make smart decisions to give them a competitive edge. With the inclusion of greater demand on the supply chain and increased automation, companies will need to determine how the lines and equipment are running, in real-time to improve performance and create efficiencies.

This is where manufacturing analytics is critical for modern manufacturers. In this paper, we will review what manufacturing analytics is, how it’s different than existing manufacturing software, and how your company can use it to create a competitive advantage and dominate the market.

Mingo helped us realize that our small micro stoppage problem was actually a bigger problem than we anticipated. What we used before was essentially an Excel sheet. You might miss a problem, and what you absolutely missed was all of the micro stoppages.
