Transforming Industrial Data into Operational Efficiency
Data-Driven Industrial Ops
Industrial Data (sensors, machines, etc) is one of the pillars of Industry 4.0; we all agree on that! Specifically, the large majority of Manufacturing Industries has put Data-Based Applications on their agenda to streamline their operations with precision.
And for good reasons. Whether in Production, Quality, Maintenance or intra/extra Supply Chain, Data Centric Solutions are opening new optimization strategies to increase operational efficiency.
The Industry 4.0 Paradox
Although the industrial value is massive to the sector, the systematic implementation of data-based solutions at the shopfloor level still lags and barriers remain.
Particularly, the 2 main reasons shared by Industrial Experts during our conversations are:
* Unawareness of data based approaches logic, capabilities and requirements. This could lead to start with a non relevant use case. This first disillusion could stop or at least disturbed the global strategy;
* Seeking for technologies (trying to navigate through marketing messages) before having clearly defined operational goals.
In the other side, for Data Solution Providers, it’s not always easy to embrace the large variety of Industrials’ context. Indeed, in manufacturing, Repetitive, Discrete, Job Shop, Continuous or Batch processes have their own specificities, challenges and objectives.
The same logic applies to asset management. Shopfloor Machines (for Production, for Quality Testing) or Power Supply Equipment requires dedicated capabilities.
Unleash your Industrial Data Potential
At Hiedra Consulting we cumulate more than 10 years working with editors and guiding Industry in their data-driven projects to optimize their operations. We have gain an unique understanding of both industrial specificities and solutions capabilities. Now, our objective is to built a bridge “over the chasm” allowing all stakeholders finding their fit.
Our value lies in this two-headed approach philosophy. On the one hand, helping industrials formalizing their context and objectives, identifying their requirements and success criteria. On the other hand working with solution providers in their positioning and expansion.
For Industrial Experts
Industrial Data Centric Projects effectively place into production have in common the same success factor: they have been originally designed at the shopfloor level by operations’ experts acting as agents of change!
We support you throughout your whole journey: helping shopfloor teams to envision potential applications, guiding a multidisciplinary project team to frame a first application and revieing in detail your Data Driven use case.
For Data Solution Providers
Understanding where your data solution better fit (Category), how it will contribute to the industrial value chain (Value Proposition), where it will integrate, how it will used is crucial to engage with these high demanding companies.
In addition, once your solution has been selected, we help you to help your customers fully realize the value of it; letting them achieving their objectives, smooth the integration in their organizational context and so on.
