Real-Time Plant Visibility: Value and How To Achieve it

Kevin reviews key ideas around manufacturing challenges, MES systems, and technology architectures to get real-time visibility into the factory floor.

The key concepts include:
- Solving challenges using data manufacturers use every day in the plant but don't know how to acquire;
- Transforming into Data-Driven Manufacturers through a Digital Transformation with a Digital Strategy to provide guardrails for making critical decisions;
- Unified Namespace architecture for connecting to and sharing data with all nodes in the ecosystem, where the ERP is alongside other systems as a node;

He mentions various products including Tatsoft's FactoryStudio and Inductive Automation's Ignition product.
