From Shop Floor to Smart Floor: Turning Factory Data into Competitive Advantage
OnlineEvent Description
Your factory is already generating the data. The real question is — why can't you act on it?
Most manufacturing plants run on a wealth of machine data from PLCs, SCADA systems, and sensors. Yet despite this, plant teams still struggle to answer the most fundamental operational questions: Why did that machine stop? Where are we losing capacity? Which problems keep coming back shift after shift?
The gap isn't data. It's the ability to turn that data into clear, actionable intelligence.
What This Webinar Covers
In this session, we'll walk through how manufacturers can unlock the operational value hidden inside their existing factory data — without new hardware investments or disruptive system changes.
We'll cover:
- Why most factories operate below optimal efficiency despite having access to machine data
- The difference between OEE dashboards and true operational intelligence
- How Google Cloud enables scalable data integration, real-time analytics, and AI-driven insights across manufacturing environments
- A live demonstration showing root cause analysis of machine downtime using existing factory data
- A practical POC-to-Production roadmap to move from pilot to plant-wide deployment
Key Challenges We Address
- Fragmented data across OEM machines, PLCs, SCADA, MES, and EMS systems
- Lack of data standardization limiting scalability across lines and plants
- The disconnect between data visibility and operational decision-making
Who Should Attend
This session is designed for anyone who:
- Is tired of finding out about machine failures after the damage is done
- Knows data exists across their plant but can't get a clear picture of what's actually happening on the floor
- Is losing production capacity but can't pinpoint exactly where or why
- Has tried dashboards and reports that show numbers — but don't tell you what to do next
- Wants to move from reactive firefighting to proactive, data-driven operations
