Manufacturing Intelligence (IIoT) is used to bring corporate manufacturing-related data together from many sources for reporting, analysis, visual summaries, and passing data between enterprise-level and plant-floor systems. It helps in:
- Aggregation: Create availability of data from many sources, most often databases
- Contextualization: Provide a structure, or model, for the data that helps users find what they need
- Analysis: Enabling users to analyze data across sources and especially across production sites. This often includes the ability for true ad hoc reporting
Visualization: Provide tools to create visual summaries of the data to alert decision-makers. And call attention to the most important information of the moment - Propagation: Automate the transfer of data from the plant floor up to enterprise-level systems or vice versa
