Slice and Dice, Twist and Spin Data to Drive
Operation Improvements
FactoryTalk Metrics, Historian and VantagePoint from Rockwell Automation leverage Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to present a coordinated, role-based approach to performance improvement.
Modern manufacturing is plagued by islands of systems and silos of data. Operating in that environment creates real costs in blocked efficiency, incomplete decision making, in waste, in recalls, in lost customer loyalty, in delayed product launches. With federated tools from Rockwell Automation, manufacturers can make the information in those silos visible and avoid the pitfalls of manual data collection and reporting. A unified production model transforms that stew of data into reliable Manufacturing Intelligence that can drive operational improvements swiftly and efficiently based on the user's role within the plant.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), such as downtime, throughput and labor cost, have long been yardsticks for manufacturers to monitor their progress toward an operational goal, but they present some key challenges... Read more
TECH OVERVIEW Cut through Complexity with Role-Specific KPIs
Accurate, role-specific Key Performance Indicator (KPI) measurement fuels actionable performance improvement by enabling users to locate sources of inefficiencies, correlate information from multiple systems, and take appropriate corrective action.
Manufacturers who seek improved performance achieve the highest return from their efforts when they are able to leverage technology to tie information to action. Manufacturing Intelligence, at its best, should empower individuals to tailor their day-to-day activities to improving overall production results. To do so, they must have visibility into a range of data, an understanding of how those measurements affect operations, and clearly-defined action-steps appropriate to their role.
Achieving that insight despite the ever-increasing complexity of plant-floor requires the type of unified production model provided by FactoryTalk Metrics, FactoryTalk Historian and FactoryTalk VantagePoint from Rockwell Automation... Read more
