MAVERICK Technologies implements enterprise manufacturing intelligence (EMI) solutions that allow you to collect manufacturing-related data from across your plant, transfer it to your business systems and use it to create reports, analyses and visual summaries. When given new structure or context, these data allow users to easily find the information they need, regardless of its source. This real knowledge drives business results across the enterprise.
MAVERICK subscribes to the AMR Research definition, which identifies five core functions that every EMI application should possess:
- Aggregation: Making data available from many sources, most often databases.
- Contextualization: Providing a structure, or model, for the data that will help users find what they need — usually a folder tree utilizing a hierarchy such as the ISA-95 standard.
- Analysis: Enabling users to analyze data across sources and especially across production sites. This often includes the ability for true ad hoc reporting.
- Visualization: Providing tools to create visual summaries of the data to alert decision makers and call attention to the most important information of the moment. The most common visualization tool is the dashboard.
- Propagation: Automating the transfer of data from the plant floor up to enterprise-level systems such as ERP, or vice versa.
Enterprise Reporting and Data Aggregation
MAVERICK provides consulting services to help you understand and implement the exact requirements for enterprise reporting. There are several important aspects of providing the relevant information at the right time and in the right way. Our team identifies the best sources of data from the current application portfolio and then aggregates the data into usable information. With expertise from the plant floor to the boardroom, MAVERICK has a unique perspective on where to find the best data. This information can then be published as a dashboard of key performance indicators (KPIs) or sent to a distribution list as a report.
Digital Dashboards
MAVERICK works with you to understand your reporting and dashboard needs before developing a solution for you. Digital dashboards provide access to real-time information for making real-time decisions. These tools may include several of the following benefits:
- Visual presentation of performance measures
- Ability to identify and correct negative trends
- Measurement of efficiencies / inefficiencies
- Ability to generate detailed reports showing new trends
- Ability to make more informed decisions based on collected enterprise manufacturing intelligence
- Alignment of strategies and organizational goals
- Time savings over running multiple reports
