MANUFACTURING

Manufacturers face the most challenging business conditions since the 1970's. Plant managers must drive down production costs while confronting increasing raw material price inflation and supply chain disruptions. Industrial engineers must wring even more efficiencies from processes over and above the impressive gains already achieved by Lean/Six Sigma methodology. Sales team members must be able to compete not only on price but on delivery terms, and provide increasing flexibility by having the ability to offer custom manufactured orders. Even machine operators and customer service reps must work more efficiently with fewer staff. More effective leverage of the information they already have provides manufacturers with opportunities to confront these challenges head-on.

INTEGRATE DISPARATE DATA

The Diver Solution™ for Manufacturing converts messy raw data from disparate sources such as SCADA, MES, MRO, SQL databases, and spreadsheets into information using our powerful data integration technology, and automates that process for ensuring that real time information is always available to decision makers. Without effective, automated processes for transforming data into information, valuable engineering resources are expended on low value "data clean-up" activities, and multiple "versions of the truth" proliferate in the form of compartmentalized data sets, including personal spreadsheets and project-based databases.
