Until recently, interaction at departmental and customer level was based on phone calls, face-to-face meetings and paper (lots of paper) reflecting data that was manually entered into computers, which slowed down processes and was not very secure. Who hasn’t written down a wrong number or misplaced a piece of information? Or, even worse, did we have the data we needed to make the best decisions?
In this, machines outperform people. And today, digitization, through the sensorization of processes and machines, gives us the ability to automate data collection, providing a real-time snapshot of the business.
But digitization is not just about collecting and storing data electronically. Industry 4.0 opens the door to a more advanced level equipped with intelligence beyond human intelligence. Hosted in a Cloud environment, sophisticated software quickly analyzes the data and provides answers that either run automatically or help department heads, or CEOs themselves, make better decisions.
We have spoken on several occasions about the importance of making data-driven decisions. Now let’s see what Lantek Analytics can do with this data in two areas that, in turn, work on the basis of different KPIs so that managers can have a better understanding of what is happening in their factory:
Manufacturing Analytics
Customer Analytics
