Not everything that matters can be measured. Not everything that we can measure matters (V. F Ridgeway 1956) but not measuring anything is disaster for effective management of manufacturing. With the increasing availability of sensors it's now easier to capture data that matters. Information that improves output, reduces the cost of operation and supports traceability. Speakers in this session outline the approach to transitioning to digital data capture when you don't know how or where to start, or want to take your next step in digital capability.
