How does smart manufacturing impact operational efficiency?
The use of advanced analytics and AI helps optimize production processes. When factories are instrumented through the IoT, available data surges. In a digital factory, operators can use data insights to identify potential production losses and act to balance quality, cost and throughput. The result? Fewer disruptions, less waste and higher yield. Let IBM consultants show you how to improve operational efficiency and effectiveness.
