Manufacturers are under pressure to increase productivity and profitability, as well as to innovate. Insuring that data assets are available and secure is an essential initiative. Michael Watson, from Microsoft, and Martin Boyd, from Profisee will talk about the steps you can follow to establish a solid foundation for data that will allow you to achieve agility and effectiveness.
Manufacturing must harness and embrace the power of data to become an efficient and digitally-connected business. But how do you accomplish this in the event that your data source is not consistent, adequate or not complete? A successful strategy to manage manufacturing data should be based on solid governance. This will ensure that data is gathered, stored and accessible in a timely way.
Top performers in the manufacturing industry are adopting a comprehensive data management method that includes implementing an MDM hub to consolidate all crucial information, including customer, vendor and product information into a single repository. This allows teams to swiftly access the information they require and makes it easy for them to work together.
This allows manufacturers to create a digital trace of what happens to components during production, which is essential for diagnosing production issues and enhancing tests and processes. It helps you determine what went wrong in a machine during a specific run and why, which enables you respond quicker during a crisis and be more resilient as an organization.
