Says Stephen Hooper, senior director, business strategy and marketing: “It allows contract manufacturers to digitise their production by combining production planning, job tracking and machine monitoring into a single, complete tool.
“By building this as a cloud-based solution, we are able to bring new capabilities to this problem that older production management tools never could. We can provide line-of-site across an extended supply network where products cross organisational boundaries. Deployment costs are a fraction of on-premise software. There’s mobile access.
“Thanks to production and IIoT-enabled analytics, factory production managers are now able to harness the data gathered through production processes and make it visible in real-time across the supply chain. Designers can view downstream processes to improve design for manufacturability. What we’re really doing is connecting people, data and machines to improve productivity and enable a nimble response to demand.
“With the introduction of Fusion Production, we are focused on three main things: Data, Process and Access.”
