The field of “big data,” which looks for useful
relationships hidden in large data sets, is predicated on having a well-organized and clean data set on which to perform the analysis. But without visibility, without uniform access to that data, more than half of manufacturing organizations simply don’t have sufficient insight into their manufacturing processes.

Instead of basic techniques that rely on making corrections
based on post-processing measurements, top MES solutions like the Savigent
software suite offer innovation that captures internal tool sensor parameters
individually and stores them in one highly accessible database. This allows the
use of this previously unavailable data in real time to develop and implement
state-of-the-art tool control methods far beyond simple statistical process
control. Identifying faults and patterns and correcting them in real time means
faster production cycles, decreased material waste and decreased energy use.
So an integrated MES solution offers the right blend of sensors, connectivity, data collection, analytics and real-time access to the data to allow manufacturers to develop ground-breaking tool control methods. But far beyond the plant floor, as the Gartner report underscores, MES helps manufacturers really see the big picture, enabling better decisions, reducing errors and driving optimization.
