March 17 – Shhhhhh, Listen – Your Machine is Trying to Tell You Something You Don’t Know


When manual reporting using Excel proved to be impractical for reporting machine failure level hourly for a global corporation, management embarked on a journey to create an infrastructure that saved not only time for already busy users, but transformed data into actionable, constant flow, and performance change reporting. A data warehouse was created to hold past and present machine data for robust reporting. In addition, a self-contained and robust Extraction, Transformation, and Loading (ETL) process was created to convert transactional data into an hourly performance measurement tool. The company is now able to set targets and measure how machines perform against pre-defined and constantly re-evaluated targets by region, county, and plant all the way down to machine level. The drill down functionality allows KPIs to become meaningful on a daily and even hourly basis and ad-hoc analysis is now possible. The result – one common platform and one insightful global company.
