Integration With Internal Systems
Overview
Internal integration in manufacturing has tremendous potential due to not only the diversity of sites and roles but also the internet of things (IoT):
- Plant equipment - maintenance and performance
- Production telemetry - scheduling
- Warehouse scanners - inventory order process
- Shipping and transport monitors - delivery
Operational data can be analyzed continually for performance if it is linked up. One source suggests the equipment effectiveness (OEE) KPI can see annual improvement of 3%, growing to 15%.
Bottlenecks in the process can be identified, issues can be resolved. When systems speak to each other, there is transparency. Additionally, there is:
- Responsiveness - solve problems earlier and even anticipate them
- Flexibility - bring innovative solutions online quickly
- Scalability & elasticity - grow production or widen the offer according to demand
- Future proofing - bring new apps, equipment, workflows into centralized knowledgebase and retire old ones without losing key data.
