From Data to Insights: Turning Industrial Data into Actionable Intelligence
Modern industrial operations are redefining their relationship with data. No longer just a historical record, data now shapes real-time decisions and future outcomes. Systems across the factory floor continuously collect temperature, vibration, and motor speed readings through PLCs, IoT devices,
The Rise of AI Agents: Redefining Automation in Manufacturing
AI agents are rapidly transforming industries, and manufacturing is no exception. While initial applications focused on optimizing HR, finance, legal, and claims management, AI agents are now driving significant improvements in core manufacturing operations. These intelligent systems generally take two forms:
A Guide to Manufacturing Data Analytics – Why Manufacturers Need a Modern Data Platform
In the age of digital transformation, data is more than a byproduct—it's a powerful asset. But most manufacturers are sitting on untapped potential. This white paper from Critical Manufacturing explores how modern data platforms, combined with MES systems, are reshaping industrial operations—from
Why C-Level Leaders Must Rethink Industrial Data Modeling Now
As manufacturers scale digital transformation, one roadblock keeps appearing across plants, lines, and systems: inconsistent, fragmented, and poorly contextualized industrial data. The result? Missed insights, unreliable analytics, integration delays, and costly rework. But there is a better way. This guidebook from HighByte
Building Agile, Sustainable CPG Operations in a Constrained World
