Bringing visibility and foresight to manufacturing

5 minute de citit Iunie 24, 2025

Manufacturing has never moved faster or demanded more. In this environment, even the smallest disruption can ripple and have significant consequences. So how do you stay ahead when the stakes are this high? The answer lies not just in working harder, but in working smarter. And that starts with rethinking how we work with the data that’s already all around us. 


Data challenges in modern manufacturing

Modern manufacturing demands speed, precision, and quality, yet many factories still rely on manual methods to monitor critical processes like tightening. These methods are time-consuming, prone to error, and often result in outdated, fragmented data. Manufacturing faces additional challenges in data collection and utilization, including outdated equipment, inconsistent data quality, and overwhelmed systems. Interoperability issues, cybersecurity risks, skill gaps, and high implementation costs further hinder the integration and scaling of data-driven solutions, with many companies struggling to justify return on investment.

Further, data is not always accessible to everyone who needs it, limiting the insights that can drive better decision-making. Despite generating vast amounts of data, up to 98% remains unused, leaving valuable insights untapped and production potential unfulfilled. It requires a blend of domain expertise and sophisticated analytics to transform raw numbers into actionable strategies. 


From data to insight: the importance of data manufacturing

Effectively processing production data can help detect process deviations and predict future quality issues. 

Data analysis in industrial manufacturing offers numerous benefits, including predictive maintenance that reduces downtime and extends equipment lifespan. It optimizes processes by identifying inefficiencies, improving throughput, and enhancing product quality.

Particularly, data-driven services enable real-time monitoring of production quality, allowing teams to identify and address issues promptly, thereby reducing downtime and improving product consistency. By providing actionable insights, Data-Driven Services support informed decision-making, leading to optimized processes and increased productivity.

Overall, data analysis drives cost reduction and continuous improvement, empowering manufacturers to operate more efficiently and remain competitive.


The transformation toward a data-driven factory

Manufacturing today is dynamic, and made up of a complex mix of tools, software, and operators. But when these assets are managed in isolation, they can become barriers rather than enablers. Instead of adding value, they add complexity. Operations are further often spread across multiple stations, lines, plants, and at times even beyond the plant. The solution lies in integration: creating a cohesive technology ecosystem to simplify operations and reduce friction. This kind of integration helps manufacturers to respond swiftly to shifting customer needs and market conditions.

The road to the Smart Factory

Smart Integrated Assembly concept is our roadmap to a truly connected, intelligent factory. It’s a 5-step, scalable, flexible ecosystem of smart tools, software, and services—built to solve today’s manufacturing challenges and adapt to tomorrows.
