Manufacturers are under pressure to increase productivity and profitability as well as innovation. Making sure that data assets are accessible and secure is a critical initiative. Michael Watson, from Microsoft, and Martin Boyd, from Profisee will discuss the steps that you can take to develop the foundation of data that will help you achieve agility and effectiveness.
Manufacturing must harness and embrace the data to become a digitally efficient and profitable business. But how can this be achieved in the event that your data source is incongruous, insufficient or insufficient? A successful data strategy for manufacturing must be based on strong governance. This will ensure that data is stored, accessed and accessible in a timely way.
The top performers in the manufacturing industry are adopting a holistic data management strategy that includes the implementation of an MDM hub to consolidate all crucial information such as customer, vendor and product information, into a single repository. This allows teams to quickly access the information they need and makes it easy for teams to work together.
This allows manufacturers to create a digital trail of what happens to parts during production. This is crucial to troubleshooting production issues as well as optimizing processes and tests. It allows you to determine what went wrong on a particular machine during a specific run and the reason for it, which allows you to respond faster during a crisis and be more resilient as an enterprise.
