CEP for the Manufacturing Industry
Real-time Insight Into the Shop-floor and Supply Chain
The Challenges:
In this competitive and cost-conscious market, your production process, shop floor and supply chain are likely looking for efficiencies that will improve quality, increase production and enhance your bottom line. Without real-time insight into all your activities, you may be missing opportunities that can give you an advantage. Getting the required visibility for results means you have to act “in the moment” and see what’s happening now, before it’s too late.
The Solution:
The Progress® Apama® Complex Event Processing (CEP) Platform provides the perfect infrastructure to correlate and visualize events that are flowing throughout your processes. Since many of the process points in your business are islands of information, complex event processing from Apama offers the ability to see the events in those points and deliver to you real-time performance monitoring that will dramatically improve your decision making process. Once you have the visibility, it’s easy to act.
Apama offers operational effectiveness via a solution for capturing events from business applications, SCADA systems, and other process devices and proving real-time dashboards and actionable analysis. With a comprehensive toolset and patented run-time architecture, you’ll have the visibility and control to monitor your operations, analyze real-time metrics that are important, and take action for immediate results. With this solution, you will be able to:
- Enhance business visibility through business activity monitoring (BAM) dashboards that correlate the business data and process control information in real-time
- Take action on KPIs with data in motion for immediate results
- Detect out-of-bounds conditions as they happen, instead of at the end of a shift or the next day
- Monitor utilization – human or machine – and apply the right resources or corrections at the right time
- Synchronize inbound and outbound inventory to ensure that capacity planning meets the business requirements
- Run simulations on historical production data to either validate new monitoring scenarios, or fine-tune and optimize inefficiencies
