Intelligent manufacturing Interconnectivity
Enables Data Analytics
Interconnectivity and data analytics aren’t just nice to have — they have the power to revolutionize your operations.
When you have the right data at your fingertips, you’re able to connect business and process systems, aggregate information across multiple systems, and enable historical trends and advanced data analytics.
And when it comes to the future, you know “good enough” simply won’t be good enough. Many factories are still using pen and paper for data collection needs. By equipping a factory with cutting edge hardware, connected software, and analytics, companies can gain better levels of insights than ever before.
Interconnectivity and data analytics are at the heart of Intelligent Manufacturing. And they’re vital in helping you drive improvements and automation. They ensure real-time visibility of inventory, WIP, and production throughput. While powering tools that provide real-time visibility of factory floor to help you have better insights into your operations.
What interconnectivity and data analytics means for you
Leverage valuable insights to see what’s coming and take pre-emptive action with Work in Progress Tracking. And update your manual manufacturing systems to modernize your operation and get the up-to-the-moment data you need to rise to the occasion and design the future.
Interconnectivity
Gain new levels of insights and drive real productivity by equipping your factory with hardware and software that seamlessly integrates into your business systems. Move beyond the pen, paper, and spreadsheets, and unlock the potential of real-time data exchange.
Integration
We’ve designed our hardware and software tools specifically for industrial data exchange. By enabling standard industrial control protocols, IoT protocols and standardized API sets, we’re re-inventing the way transaction management is implemented to make it as easy as possible. Whether you’re leveraging our solutions to update your ERP system, or you’re using a cloud-hosted asset management platform – We provide the ability to scale and seamlessly exchange data regardless of your current systems.
The power of integration with Brady
Our vision is to continue to foster the merger of operational technology and informational technology — software talking to hardware — enabling seamless data exchange between more systems and software in a way that provides tangible value to every implementation.

Enabling data analytics
Connecting data systems is the first step – but the real aha moment is when businesses put that data to work by analyzing it and seeing where real efficiencies and opportunities for improvement are. Having this type of visibility allows you to react faster, reduce downtime, streamline inventory, and manage production orders and assets in real-time. Turn your weekly Excel chart into a dynamic dashboard. Visualize data from SAP, Oracle or other ERP systems dynamically. Integrate into modern Business Intelligence platforms that help you make the shift from reactive to proactive. All of this is possible when you put your data to work for you.

How today’s modern manufacturers are leveraging technology
Centralize Data Exchange & Integration
- Integrate all transactional and automated data-input/output systems (e.g. Optical scanning, Printers, Barcode, Optical Character Recognition, RFID).
- Leverage centralized API with pre-defined integrations to modern day ERP/MRP systems.
Activity Synchronization and Flow
- Maximize the effectiveness of engineering changes to the production floor by using technology during the production process for dynamic routing. Understand and accommodate varying environmental factors and how they might impact machines or production processes through virtual build simulation.
Enhancing Labor Productivity and Effectiveness
- Enhance capabilities with regard to fabrication and assembly, labor efficiency tracking; monitoring worker movements and productivity; and real-time safety monitoring of both workers and equipment.
Environmental
- Don’t let things like temperature, humidity, lighting conditions and other operation conditions catch you by surprise. Monitor and resolve key issues before they happen.
Production Asset Intelligence
- Use proactive sensing and quality control for detecting defects, predictive maintenance of factory machinery, and tooling life cycle management.
Product Quality
- Discrete manufacturing via quality control-based work-in-progress inspections
- Quality monitoring of produced goods, machines, and calibration of equipment through the manufacturing process

IT/OT Convergence 101
Bridging the gap between physical and digital capabilities in manufacturing environments creates a significant competitive advantage. This convergence will displace companies that don’t embrace it, but many are behind. While there are challenges that must be overcome to bring the two together, the risk of not doing so is quite real—especially when competitors are making the leap.
