The Powerhouse of Analytics for Manufacturing

In the fast-paced world of manufacturing, operating in darkness isn't an option. Data analytics for manufacturing is the key to unlocking a treasure trove of data insights that can revolutionize your operations.

By analyzing information from across your entire operation, you can make informed choices about everything from production scheduling to resource allocation. At the same time, you can identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement throughout your production line to optimize processes.

Reach a new level of operational excellence with manufacturing data analysis created with factories developing complex high-precision hardware.

DISCOVER METRICS YOU'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO CALCULATE BEFORE

At its core, ION Analytics is a production analytics tool for optimizing factory operations — but the granularity you get is unmatched by other MES providers. With end-to-end visibility and traceability across the manufacturing line and supply chain, you can identify the root causes impacting slow production rates, quality, and costs. Unpack the cost of completed assemblies you’ve built from labor costs and installed components to get the all-in true cost of production.

Manufacturing analytics software provides the holistic view of your factory that you need to optimize operations.

    FEATURES OF MANUFACTURING ANALYTICS SOFTWARE

    Learn more about ION Analytics, manufacturing analytics software designed for the modern factory.
    Get access to real-time production data

    ION Analytics seamlessly integrates into daily manufacturing workflows, making critical insights accessible to engineers, technicians, quality specialists, and finance professionals within the ION ecosystem. Visualize data in dynamic ways to faster identify bottlenecks, machine problems, inefficiencies, capacity issues, and priority areas to optimize.

    Leverage pre-built dashboards or create custom reports

    Save time with field-proven off-the-shelf dashboards based on each stakeholder's own specific needs and share them across the organization. Drag and drop custom views to shine light into every corner of your factory, or let your data scientists dream up their own reporting using custom attributes.

    Uncover trends to inform better decisions

    Turn suspicions (and anxiety) into deep, insightful, understanding. observe and eliminate the patterns behind bottlenecks, waste, non-conformance, and cost. Predict outcomes more accurately by getting access to time-to-build metrics (by individual or team), recurring inventory issues, and resource availability.

    Calculate as-built (aBOM) production costs

    aBOM stands for your as-built bill of materials and reflects how an assembly was actually built. Roll up costs of your aBOM from the lowest-level components up to the top-level assemblies. Track and analyze all cost components associated with a build, including direct costs like raw materials and labor, as well as indirect costs such as overheads and administrative expenses.

    BENEFITS OF MANUFACTURING DATA ANALYTICS

    Gain a comprehensive understanding of your manufacturing operations with manufacturing analytics. Leverage the power of real-time production data and dynamic manufacturing reporting to optimize operations, reduce costs, and make informed decisions that drive success.

    IDENTIFY BOTTLENECKS BEFORE THEY CAUSE DELAYS

    See what’s slowing you down. Analyze resource efficiency by area or individual. Analyze parts that require process and design improvements. Monitor quality in real-time, expedite how quickly quality issues are addressed, and reduce the risk of defective products and costly recalls.

    ANALYZE THE COST OF ANY PRODUCT BUILT WITH ION

    Breakdown costs by suppliers or work center. See every detail of how a product was built (the aBOM) from who on the factory floor worked on it and their labor costs, to the cost of every part down to the serial number. Track whether parts were scrapped, used in the build, or swapped for other parts mid-process -- all the way back to the original purchase order.

    GET A REAL-TIME VIEW OF THE PRODUCTION FLOOR

    Get everyone working from the same dataset. Schedule exports and notifications to whoever needs to be informed. Drill down to underlying data and export any element for deeper analysis. Filter, sort, and group parts to see how many are still in stock, how many are kitted, how many were installed, and how many are part of products that have already been shipped.

    INCREASE YOUR PROFIT MARGIN

    Create a foundation of managerial accounting. Understand the total cost of production to more effectively manage shop floor operations and adjust pricing to increase profitability. Understand recurring issues and notify responsible engineers so they can make cost-saving changes. Drive more efficiency by analyzing build speed and all-in cost. Make sure your labor hours for each individual or team are within range.

    SHIFT TO A DATA CENTERED FACTORY FLOOR

    ION Analytics aggregates and analyzes extremely large data sets to help factories thrive and compete. Reduce areas of high non-conformances, identify deficiencies, and increase the accountability of every team. Make data-driven adjustments to pricing, sourcing, and budget allocation to maximize margins.

    PREDICT THE FUTURE

    Manufacturing analytics acts like a crystal ball for your factory, shedding light on the material consequences of every decision. Determine whether you’ll hit scheduled dates, who to hold accountable, and identify root causes, and more. It's no longer a guessing game – you can now predict the future with greater certainty.

    GAIN UNPARALLELED VISIBILITY INTO YOUR FACTORY OPERATIONS

    ION Analytics pulls real-time manufacturing data from the shop floor and packages it up clean and neatly so that you can:
    ‍• Measure and compare production yield and output
    • Understand cycle time across multiple builds
    • Analyze labor hours to make a case for more training
    • Improve procedure and part lead time for better planning
    • Monitor inventory valuation by status
    • Track expiring materials and plan for recertification
    • Automate notifications for inventory replenishment
