How OEMs are Helping Manufacturers Realize their Data Potential
There is a massive amount of data being produced by smart machines. For OEMs to keep pace with end user needs, they must provide machines that can seamlessly transform this data into relevant insights to drive operational efficiency. Additionally, the impact of a skills gap is being felt across the manufacturing spectrum. To keep driving their business forward, manufacturers are looking to OEMs to provide new services throughout the machine lifecycle and take on new, more active roles in areas such as training, maintenance and consultation.
Our DataReady solutions help to solve these problems by enabling a data foundation that can empower machines to provide value faster while still being flexible in the event of future changes in demand.
Using The Power of Data to Develop Smarter Machines
DataReady solutions from Rockwell Automaton and Agilix Solutions enable OEMs to design machines that organize and structure data into consistent information models. This machine-level data can then be easily used to provide real-time insights at the equipment level and can be seamlessly integrated with other systems in the cloud, without requiring prior knowledge of how the information will be used in the future.
Data can then be shared from the machine and made available for use with virtually any external application. With this foundational capability in place, OEMs can unlock the power of data while maintaining the flexibility to introduce new components, revisit designs or modify applications to fit their unique needs.
