ION ANALYTICS
Illuminate your factory. Unleash your data.
If ION Factory OS is the nervous system of your factory, then ION Analytics is the third eye; a radically aware state of understanding the performance of your factory and the products it's producing.
Gain deep insights into factory performance and product quality with manufacturing dashboards, data analysis, and smart factory analytics. Make data-driven decisions and optimize your operations with manufacturing analytics solutions from ION.
Stop operating in darkness
Manufacturing data analytics, powered by ION Analytics, provides objective insights based on data points gathered across teams, tools, machines, and processes. ION Analytics leverages the latest in data science and cloud computing; presenting ION’s incredibly interconnected data model in an intuitive, powerful super tool. Answer pressing questions that would have taken hours, days, or weeks — in seconds — so you can pivot with minimal disruption in the middle of production, while still meeting aggressive timelines.
The Powerhouse of Analytics for Manufacturing
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
Manufacturing analytics software provides the holistic view of your factory that you need to optimize operations.
FEATURES OF MANUFACTURING ANALYTICS SOFTWARE
- 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.
