Optimize Manufacturing: Leverage Data for Faster, Smarter, Better Efficiency

The powerful change that data analytics can unlock for companies in the manufacturing space allows for better competition and optimized performance in a highly competitive industry. IoT is playing an increasingly critical role in the manufacturing industry with the monitoring and optimization of manufacturing process data and providing increased insight. See how OmniData™ can help you on your journey to the cloud and data modernization to optimize operations while providing insight into all aspects of the business.

OmniData™ and the Azure cloud provide the scale, security, infrastructure, process control, and tools that the BFSI sector needs. OmniData™ understands the digital transformation and modernization process in the context of regulatory compliance, information management, and secure, enterprise-level data visibility.

Learn How Manufacturers Used OmniData™ to Drive Data-Driven Decisions


Manufacturing Challenge 1

Use data analytics to grow your business and optimize manufacturing lines.

With discrete manufacturing processes often requiring components from many factory lines in different locations, getting to grips with the differences in data and the sheer volume of data in order to apply some logic and understanding to the data can become a complex process.

THE SOLUTION

Using the power of Microsoft Azure, we consolidated data from a total of 25 manufacturing lines from 3 locations into a cohesive enterprise data environment that allowed us to analyze the exact production flow of each component individually and in the final assembly.

This allowed our customer to compare the performance of different sites and to pinpoint the reasons for the differences, allowing them to answer strategy questions around growth and expansion based on actual business data.


Manufacturing Challenge 2

Use data analytics to grow your business and optimize manufacturing lines.

With production numbers coming from various sources in the business (production line, financial, operational, etc.), it is often difficult to get a clear picture of activities. As a result, it is often difficult to optimize production quality and yield.

THE SOLUTION

Digital Transformation allows manufacturers to spend time where it matters most. Bringing together data from all the systems in the business to create an accurate daily production view involved getting data from various production, financial and operational systems to create a consolidated view of production.

This allowed for the creation of an environment where opportunities for optimization, cost-saving, and prevention could be identified by analyzing the data.


Manufacturing Challenge 3

Tracking manufactured goods through the extended logistics cycle.

With many manufacturing organizations, producing a tangible product is not all the business is responsible for. These products still need to be shipped and transported to the end customer. In many cases, this involves a lengthy logistics process that could span international borders, including multiple warehouses, and has several potential delays.

THE SOLUTION

We defined 24 logistics gates in the cycle ranging from the loading of finished products at the factory through to the first leg of the journey to shipping, storage and eventual delivery to the end customer. The data was then combined to create a single cohesive view of the entire logistics process from start to finish.

This allowed our customer to get to grips with several thousands of high value items that were in the current logistics process, identify specific slow points in the process and manage the entire logistics process with data from all over the world.
