Many operations face the challenge of capturing key data from a complex software application landscape, made up of many different types of data sources, such as relational databases, file systems and live OPC tags. This data then has to be converted into intelligent metrics, (at an asset level) that can be clearly measured against targets.
So many organisations spend a lot of time manually collecting and compiling this data, and they often struggle to represent it in the correct context for those who are closest to the manufacturing process. This leads to missed ‘Operational Excellence’ opportunities, and hinders the fostering of a culture of continuous improvement.
