Application: Manufacturing Efficiency: Non-real Time Monitoring
Description
Non-real time use case – Collecting all types of data, sensors feed data from the production equipment on the factory floor into factories’ analytics systems, tracking everything from access logs to vibrations. This data is aggregated in the cloud and can be used to bring visibility to production facilities, help identify bottlenecks in the manufacturing process, and support better decisions for improvements. For example, production equipment on the factory floor can communicate when quantities are low and order more raw materials to safeguard against the line shutting down, utilizing just-in-time, cost-effective replenishment.
