Synchrono Emphasizes Communicating and Visualizing Operations Metrics in the Factory of the Future

Sarah Balough, Synchrono Senior Consultant and Product Manager, recently discussed how real-time monitoring of actionable, demand-driven manufacturing metrics can immediately lead to improved predictability, performance, and profit. Balough presented the timely podcast addressing how manufacturers can easily visualize and communicate metrics across their enterprise.

The factory of the future is demand-driven with three main characteristics: customer-centric with a focus on flow, synchronization of all activities in support of flow, and information is visualized for everyone, from the shop floor up to shop management.

Balough noted, “For all of your actionable metrics in the facility, it is important to be able to visualize them in real-time so that you can quickly make adjustments in support of greater predictability and profitability.” A visual factory information system, provides real-time connections to any data source – machines, business systems, etc. – for quick access and analysis of aggregated data. In this way, manufacturers get the full story of what may be impacting measurable results and insight into what to change.  The podcast provides a demonstration of how visualizations of metrics can be created using SyncView, a visual factory information system. SyncView provides intuitive drag-and-drop tools and natural language queries that makes it easy for anyone to create their own highly visual dashboard displays.
