Advantages of Industrial Technology Services

Technology and automation solutions for manufacturing can offer various benefits to operations.

Operational Efficiency

Industrial IT enables data collection across industrial machinery, assets and processes. Access to this data and real-time monitoring allow your team to analyze performance, identify the cause of bottlenecks and find gaps in processes that you may not have found otherwise. Use data analytics to make improvements that vastly increase efficiency on your manufacturing lines.

This data can also show you when initiatives to improve performance are effective. Reference data points and view changes over time to understand which decisions have the most impact.

Data-Driven Insights

While your operational data can reveal weak points in your processing, this data is also valuable across different departments. Use performance data for greater oversight of your supply chain to make more informed decisions about vendors and shipping. Access purchasing data to understand client preferences and capture market trends throughout the year. Ultimately, these data-driven insights allow more informed decision-making and more effective resource allocation.

Improved Safety

Industrial IT allows you to monitor performance and the potential safety risks that come with your manufacturing processes. A proactive understanding of these risks lets you act accordingly and protect your team. For example, industrial IT systems can help identify hazard points on your factory floor, informing your safety procedures and training for employees.

Performance data can also help you identify safety risks for specific machines or employees. If you find repeat accidents on certain equipment, you can improve training procedures and ensure all employees understand best practices. 

Remote Monitoring and Control

Leverage industrial IT to monitor and control equipment remotely. This ability makes operations more flexible and safer. Manage equipment remotely when human intervention poses a high safety risk. Remote control capabilities can also be valuable in facilities with limited space. Focus human operation on the machines that need it most, and use remote monitoring where it’s most valuable.

Cost Savings

Industrial IT drives cost savings in multiple areas. Data analytics support more informed decision-making. Data-backed decisions often improve resource allocation and help you find ways to save on materials sourcing, processes and more. Predictive maintenance helps you save on costly repairs that occur without a steady maintenance schedule.

Increased safety in your facility can also help you save on unexpected downtime and injuries related to unsafe practices. Increasing efficiency can also lead to pushing out products faster and improving revenue. While cutting costs in some areas, you can boost revenue in others.
