Visibility helps manufacturers gain insight and drive decision making to improve quality, safety, and efficiency. It involves visualizing and correlating IoT data with multiple other business systems including process historians, manufacturing execution systems (MES), enterprise resource planning (ERP), and quality management systems. This data directly impacts the business value of metrics like overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), energy costs, machine downtime, and labor efficiency.
