Intelligence, Not Just Information

To survive in a competitive market, successful manufacturing companies know that they need to align their manufacturing operations with their overall business objectives. They need to implement production changes quickly in response to rapidly changing business objectives and market demands, and they need to understand how operational processes are impacting the company’s business goals. Successful companies are agile, able to make intelligent decisions to react to quickly changing events.

The reality for most companies is that the information is there, but the intelligence is lacking. Information is contained in silos and not visible to the entire organization. Manufacturing execution systems enable plant operations, but the information is available only to operators and plant managers. ERP systems enable business processes, but they do not give visibility to what is happening on the plant floor at any time. Information from the plant floor trickles up to the executive office slowly and in a haphazard way.

Enterprise Manufacturing Intelligence solutions break down the barrier between plant operations and management decision making. It pulls together information from many sources and gives real-time visibility of plant floor operations, enabling company executives to react quickly to changing events on the plant floor.
