Factory Intelligence

Colourful buildings

Use live factory data to make smarter decisions and boost performance

Factories are complex and unpredictable environments, demanding you to be fast and agile in how you make decisions. But collecting data on a diverse array of assets – from cutting-edge equipment to 30-year-old machinery – can be difficult and time-consuming. While some manufacturers track data on key parameters such as carbon emissions and safety, few truly utilise it. And even fewer are using it to inform their decision making.

Our Factory Intelligence solution maps out and digitises your entire manufacturing process, connecting thousands of data points from old and new equipment. AI augments this data to create powerful insights in live dashboards, giving everyone – from factory floor to boardroom – a detailed and holistic view of your operations in one place.

Enabled by cloud, the solution links your production processes to track material, machine and resource availability – collecting data on everything from Internet of Things sensors on machinery to Enterprise Resource Planning tools and Warehouse Management Solution systems.

In doing so, it gives you a more detailed view of your operations, allowing you to react quickly to system failures and make decisions in real-time that enhance performance, improve safety, maximise quality and cut costs.

Key benefits of Factory Intelligence

1. Respond quickly to disruption

Factory Intelligence identifies anomalies in your data, including electrical fluctuations, high temperatures, incorrect moisture levels and power surges – helping you reduce downtime and react swiftly to issues. It even takes into account historical data, allowing you to proactively maintain your equipment and predict and prevent future problems.

2. Enhance quality continually over time

Factory Intelligence learns from live issues and the decisions you make over time, becoming a self-sustaining solution which continually offers improved insights. You can use this information to set thresholds, which, if exceeded, alert you of process issues – allowing you to make crucial interventions to maximise quality, productivity and safety.

3. Cut costs and boost efficiency

By gathering intelligence from across warehousing, inventory, supply chain and your wider business, Factory Intelligence helps you make more informed decisions to reduce costs and boost the safety, quality and efficiency of your operations.
