Manufacturing Intelligence
How manufacturing intelligence could boost productivity
Collect multiple data points together and analyse relevant data from IoT/edge devices to improve visibility into operational efficiency
Production floor management is a complex process for consumer products businesses.
When margins are tight, ensuring all production machinery is working optimally can make or break the bottom line.
Data is key to such optimization, and while most factories have production lines that can transmit data, that data is meaningless if it’s siloed. Real insights depend on visibility, and that, in turn, depends not just on availability and accuracy but on understanding the links between the data too.
Data and analytics also extend beyond the enterprise.
Factory data can work with field data so businesses can flex manufacturing operations faster.
Combining IoT with edge computing enables operations teams to monitor a factory’s whole infrastructure – gaining real-time insight into inadequate machines and processes that need more control.

One company that’s seen the direct benefits of such deeper insights is Heimon Kala.
Thanks to a Siemens IoT platform the Finnish fish processor could analyze temperature change during the smoking of fresh fish. By optimizing control parameters based on such insights, the company increased production by 25 percent.
