We will outline the challenges for SMMs (small and medium manufacturers) in exploiting data driven production and how to overcome them. What is the bottom line? How do shop data analytics improve the basic shop KPIs (throughput, profitability, cash flow, and on-time-delivery), and by how much? The presentation will be augmented with FactoryTwin's customer case studies.
