F005: Smarter Decisions with Real-Time Data

In today’s manufacturing environment, using data effectively is key to staying competitive. However, many companies face challenges such as disconnected systems, limited IT resources, and slow development processes.

In this session, you’ll learn how low-code platforms help teams on the factory floor quickly connect machines, combine data sources, and create real-time dashboards, without needing advanced programming skills. These tools make it faster and easier to turn data into useful insights and support better decision-making.

Join us to see how modern factories use low-code technology to improve efficiency and respond to issues in real time. You’ll leave with practical ideas on how to turn your data into real results.

Many manufacturing operations still lack consistent, automatically captured machine data that can be used for meaningful insight. The first challenge is gathering accurate, time-based machine metrics without relying on manual reporting or estimates. Once this information is captured reliably, manufacturers can begin to learn how machines behave over time and use that understanding to improve predictability, reliability, and operational decision-making. When high-resolution machine data is integrated with advanced analytics, performance trends, operational anomalies, and optimization opportunities become visible, enabling a shift from reactive reporting to more predictive, data-driven decisions. This session examines how machine metrics enable learning from equipment by revealing patterns and constraints that are often missed by manual data collection. Attendees will learn how outcome-based metrics help reveal root causes when paired with behavior-based data, and how consistent review of machine performance supports more predictable schedules, improved reliability, and better use of existing assets through disciplined, automated measurement.
