Industrial Equipment & Manufacturing
Making, distributing, and maintaining complex products requires a different type of operational execution. Therefore, visibility to the deep supply chain and quick, effortless collaboration with up and downstream stakeholders is critical for smooth, predictable operations.
Control Complexity with Connected Operations
End-to-end Visibility
End-to-end visibility and traceability is critical in environments that have multiple transaction systems and are characterized by product complexity.
Alerts
Alerts to potential component shortages based on affected finished products/sub-assemblies are key to managing sourcing of input materials.
Insights
Insights to process optimization can help with better integrating with outdated backend systems and coping with modernization and emerging technologies.
Key Benefits
Prevent component shortages and delays
Integrate transaction and IoT data to get a real-time view of purchase transactions, production schedules, warranty/maintenance contracts and field failures. Detect supply-demand gaps and prevent component shortages.
Track & trace components easily
Trace components based on serial number, supplier or final equipment details. Effortlessly pin-point units that need attention/recall or trace back origin of issues in a multi-tier supplier network.
Reduce component costs
Reduce cost supported by improved lead times, more accurate forecasts, fewer change requests and fewer expedites.
Improve manufacturing yield
Track manufacturing progress and supplies against custom order details for improved yields and fewer reworks.
