Without sensor data, you can’t control a process—much less begin a digital transformation at your facility. KPIs (Key performance indicators) are a way to measure how your process, packaging or even your palletizing areas are performing, but to get these KPIs requires sensor data.
This sensor data can come from instrumentation to measure flow, level, pressure, density, temperature, presence/absence and more. It can also include data collected about machine operation for maintenance purposes, data obtained from human observation of processes and machines, and even supplier input regarding the quality of ingredients arriving at your loading dock.
