Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity.

Making the complicated simple…

3

We live in a very complicated world. We lead complicated lives. We have complicated jobs. The ability to make good decisions rests on the shoulders of those who understand these complicated things and can make sense of them. The rest of us need help.

We must make complication, simple.We need intelligence to do that.

Business & Manufacturing Intelligence

4

What is Business & Manufacturing Intelligence? Methods and tools used to accumulate, aggregate and

analyze data for the purpose of improving processes, strategies and capabilities

Not new concepts but still go unused due to lack of useful low cost tools and an understanding of how to make the complicated, simple

Growth of Data in the World

The Reduction of Digital Memory Cost

The Reduction of Digital Memory Cost

7

In 1956, IBM built these 3.75 MB hard drives, weighing approximately one ton and leased for $3,200 per month

Massive amounts of Data yet no Knowledge

8

We have so much data that simply viewing it provides us no insights, no understanding no knowledge.

With so much data, finding anything useful is like finding a “needle in a haystack!”

9

We will need tools to find our “needle in a haystack!”

10

The Business / Manufacturing Intelligence Model

11

The model shows 4 phases of using data to take action.

Transform data into information

Analyze the information to obtain knowledge

Use knowledge to take right actions!

Obtain data after actions

How does BI & MI help a company?

12

BI and MI simplify information discovery and analysis, making it possible for decision-makers at all levels of an organization easily access, analyze and act on information.

Five Core Functions of BI / MI Tools

13

Aggregation

• Able to communicate and collect data from multiple / dissimilar sources

Contextual-ization

• Able to provide a model that transforms raw data into information

Analysis• Enable users to analyze information in a variety of ways

Visual-ization

• Able to report information in multiple formats to maximize understanding

Propagation

• Automatically transfers data between plant-floor and enterprise-level• Information is transparent to all users throughout a business

Data Collection in manufacturing uses a Historian

14

HistorianCollects data from

PLC and SCADA tags and sends to database.

Temp and

Pressure Sensors

System 1 System 2

SAP ServerConnections to the DB

to help construct business metrics.

Database ServerBack-end Data Server

Oracle, SQL Server, etc.

PLCProcesses I/O in Real Time

SCADA/Historian ClientManufacturing personal

use this to trend data, view and acknowledge alarms and obtain data from dashboards

Business PCUses a Web browser to view trends,

reports and dashboard data

BI & MI Benefits

23

Using data management, analysts, operators, engineers and quality control can make better, more informed decisions that improve their businessGive workers quicker responses to business-related queriesTroubleshoot using historical data to identify process issues, e.g. operator error, malfunctionsUncover causes of downtime and lossGain valuable insight into your customer’s behaviorUse stored data to maintain product and business records for product-recall and litigationUse historical data to help analyze and develop process models to develop an optimized processConduct better inventoryFind out what the real manufacturing and business costs are.

Data will continue to grow!

24

Conclusion

25

As data grows, we’ll need more and better tools to tease out the information we need.

To use this data to make good decisions and improve…

We’ll need individuals who can take that information and out of complexity create simplicity.
