FactoryTalk Analytics

Quality Control

Undetected quality issues in high-speed production scenarios affect your brand when the product hits the shelves, but it doesn't have to be like that. In addition, high scrap wastage or energy usage often creates quality compliance issues in the plant operations. By automatically gathering detailed OT data context at the edge, identifying the root cause of a quality issue is a lot easier at the source itself. You can also address energy efficiency and scrap reduction requirements in the production process—at scale.

Yield Optimization

Industrial manufacturers must strike a fine balance between speed and yield to maximize throughput. To achieve this, they need a highly- responsive, automated system to control their manufacturing processes. Prescriptive edge analytics can help by applying corrective insights to the control layer in low-latency environments, so that you can respond to changes quickly. The insights can also be integrated with production and business management systems to help increase production rates.

Data Scientists

Instead of spending cycles on gathering quality data, data scientists and IT analysts can finally be in control of building the right ML models with open-stack platforms, manage model lifecycle end-to-end, and have the flexibility to deploy them at edge or cloud—uncovering game-changing enterprise insights.

Plant Managers

With FactoryTalk Analytics on their side, plant managers can be assured that resource allocation and utilization are optimized at the shop floor—along with asset longevity, product quality, and scrap wastage—so that the plant is consistently achieving higher performance at all levels.

Executives

Executives can stay on top of business performance across plants, regions and at the enterprise level to achieve higher profitability, strong competitiveness, and market leadership. By accelerating IT/OT convergence, they can compare performance benchmarks across plants and bring the intelligent enterprise to life.

Food and Beverage

To be successful, the Food & Beverage industry has to address stringent food safety regulations, meet evolving consumer demand, counter market competition, and operate on thin margins. Thus, manufacturers are forced to take a closer look at their plant data to explore production optimization opportunities. FactoryTalk Analytics can help reduce variability of food batches, examine expiration dates for safety, and monitor food temperatures for safe storing. Analytics can also help in tracking of surplus and supply gaps to avoid future supply and demand inconsistencies—reducing cost.

Life Sciences

The Life Sciences industry is challenged with accelerating the drug to market process, assessing risks to patients, forecasting demand and optimizing production to avoid stock outages. The predictive analytics capabilities of FactoryTalk Analytics are highly effective in analyzing equipment, forecasting trends and mining data. For instance, contextualized insights around your quality and batch deviations can help speed compliance and conformity at a lower cost, increase yield and improve utilization. Successfully mining of data for temperature deviations, refrigeration exposure time or other abnormal events can also minimize the time batches are held before release. With quality insights at your fingertips, you can easily realize proactive process improvements and productivity.
