The Importance of Manufacturing Analytics

• Overview• The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is changing

manufacturing as we know it.

• Those manufacturers taking advantage of the advanced analytics and connectivity are gaining a competitive edge

• Leveraging data and analytics from advanced hardware combined with advanced software and data from sensors results in smarter products and processes and an opportunity to increase profitability

Technology is Changing the Manufacturing Landscape

Manufacturing Market

• Over the past 25 years, U.S.-manufacturers goods exports have more than quadrupled

• Largest trading partners for manufacturers are located in Canada, Mexico and China underscoring the importance of free trade agreements

• Manufacturers perform more than ¾ of all private sector R&D, driving more innovation than any other sector

• Manufacturers consume more than 30% of the nation’s energy and are looking for ways to become more efficient

Manufacturing Challenges

• Devices and sensors produce LOTS of data

• Current solutions VERY difficult to implement

• Engineers make qualitative adjustments• Quality and waste common• No data sharing within organization

Manufacturing Challenges - Continued

• Traditional quality improvement processes too time consuming

• Changes too often based on intuition, prior experience – management driven rather than data driven

• Complex processes difficult to fully understand

• Short analysis period / rapid change limits trial and error approach

Why Collect Data ?

• Data from machines, HMI’s and PLCs

• Process improvement• Cost reductions• Condition Monitoring -

machine

U.S. Manufacturing is Competitive
