The COVID-19 pandemic has deeply affected the manufacturing industry to a great extent. From demand declines and disrupted supply chain operations to declining profit margins, this industry has seen it all. But, it has also thrown light on key areas of automation and its benefits. To succeed in today’s highly competitive environment, manufacturers must transform their operations. They must know how to access, analyze and leverage a diverse amount of data that often remain in silos. This holds true for all manufacturers —whether chemical, aerospace, automotive, industrial machinery, or plastic products. With smart BI software, you can quickly get decisive results as compared to hours or days with traditional time-intensive methods.
Tableau as rated as a leader by Gartner has been rendering high business value to manufacturers. They have been able to drill down to specifics and know which product family, category, have maximum production output and have major defects. You can analyze the root of the problem with a single manufacturing dashboard.
