Enable intelligent factories for mobility customers

  • Article

The Microsoft approach to mobility and the intelligent factory is captured within the Microsoft Cloud for Manufacturing. The key scenarios include connected and enabled workers, production monitoring and optimization, and maintenance and quality.

  • Connected and enabled workers: This scenario allows the centralization of your organization's communications and business processes across mobility environments into one app to create a comprehensive view of the frontline workforce.

  • Production monitoring and optimization: These solutions help manufacturers harness the power of production data and drive intelligent decision-making within their factories. Manufacturers use data from sensors, machines, PLCs, factory and IT systems to gain insights for optimized operations, fewer bottlenecks, and increased efficiency.

  • Maintenance and quality: This scenario involves using intelligent systems to automate complex quality inspection processes, roll out computer vision models to detect defects, analyze machine data for root cause analysis, and share real-time production insights back into design and engineering to ensure that materials and final products meet predefined standards.
