Data Contextualization Challenges in the Manufacturing Industry

Data contextualization is a major issue in manufacturing, with traditional data integration methods being disconnected and ineffective.

This leads to operational delays, unnecessary efforts, and overlooked chances for advancement. Without proper context, manufacturers struggle with the sheer volume and complexity of data from various sources, impairs process optimization, pattern recognition, and timely decision-making.

Manufacturing faces issues with disconnected data integration due to outdated methods, causing connectivity problems across the sector. Poor data contextualization leads to operational inefficiencies and congestion, hindering smooth operations. Manufacturers struggle with large data volumes from equipment and IT systems with extremely expensive analysis, affecting process optimization, pattern recognition, and timely decision-making. This limits innovation and the use of actionable insights.

Data Contextualization to enable efficient Quality Management in High-Variance Manufacturing

Imagine the case that you as a manufacturer of high-variance products face the challenge to ensure accurate tracking of serialized items, consumables, manufacturing equipment, and tools.

Despite a possibly existing implementation of a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) orchestrating production orders and process plans, along with an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system managing batches of consumable goods and dedicated asset management for production devices, it still takes an extremely high level of effort to carry out analyses to identify root causes for quality issues.

Manufacturing challenges include quality and yield issues, even in well-run systems. Persistent quality problems occur due to various reasons, such as temperature instability in tooling machines or supplier variability, where consumables from different suppliers with the same specifications affect product quality. A comprehensive approach is needed to improve efficiency and quality in the manufacturing process.

Data Contextualization to face Carbon Footprint Challenges in Batch Manufacturing

As a batch product manufacturer facing changing customer needs, you will be also legally forced to provide detailed carbon footprint analyses for each delivery, even partial ones, due to the commitment to ISO 50001 and ongoing carbon footprint reduction.

Although you have MES, ERP, and further concerning applications running, the difficulty remains in collecting energy use data across all production stages, batches, or even single products, including CO2 equivalents of scopes 1, 2, and 3 as per the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.

Operational challenges include providing detailed carbon footprint analyses due to your complex supply chain. You must aggregate and interpret data to meet customer expectations while continuously reducing the carbon footprint in compliance with ISO 50001. Gathering energy consumption data, including CO2 equivalents, throughout the production process is also complex.

These issues highlight the necessity for a strategic, integrated approach to satisfy customers, comply with regulations, and foster sustainability in the operations.

FAQ

Data Contextualization in the industry refers to the process of linking and interpreting data from various sources to gain more comprehensive and accurate insights into manufacturing processes. It’s crucial as it forms the foundation for informed decision-making and process optimization, ultimately enhancing efficiency and fostering innovation.

Data contextualization is always used when data analysts try do find correlations or even causalities between continuous data collection and operation or process related data such as manufacturing order information or batch IDs.

Without effective Data Contextualization, companies encounter challenges such as fragmented data, limited data utilization, difficulties in root cause analysis for quality issues, and constrained predictive capabilities for operational workflows.

Non-effective data contextualization simply results in wrong correlations and therefore wrong decisions. Since data contextualization in most cases is being done for each analysis individually and without the documentation of the contextualization itself the ineffectiveness does not always show immediately when conclusions are drawn from them.

SMARTUNIFIER seamlessly connects and contextualizes diverse data sources, allowing companies to integrate information from equipment, IT systems, and various software solutions to gain comprehensive insights and promote quality assurance, efficiency enhancement, and sustainable practices.

By its data driven architecture SMARTUNIFIER encapsulates information models from different data sources and communication channels. This allows to focus on data and information and their correlations. By using the non-code mapping feature, it is easy even for non-IT professionals to build correlations and data conversions. The powerful yet easy-to-learn low-code scripting feature of SMARTUNIFIER allows most complex mappings in cases where data context is temporally disjoined.

The implementation of SMARTUNIFIER enables improved product traceability, more accurate predictions for process optimization, a holistic view of energy consumption, and identification of quality issue root causes – all crucial advantages for enhancing efficiency and fostering innovation.

SMARTUNIFIER strongly decreases project time for device and equipment integration, increases the quality of data contextualization by defining and using company standards, decreases or even eliminates efforts in data analysis by providing early, stable, and documented contextualization, and supports to use almost any type of IT architecture being used by our customers.
