Progressive’s OEM Sales Manager, Lorena Fisher, shares five steps mold builders and molders can take to improve data-driven decision-making with a mold monitoring platform:
- Seek cloud-based solutions that provide real-time data access and analytics, enabling users to optimize production, predict issues, and make data-driven decisions instantly.
- Invest in technology solutions with user-friendly interfaces and intuitive dashboards that make data easily digestible and actionable for all levels within a company.
- Choose solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing ERP/MES systems, fostering collaboration between designers, engineers and production teams.
- Consider modular solutions to scale your data infrastructure as your business grows, ensuring you always have the tools you need to stay ahead.
- Look for training, support and ongoing consultations to ensure you can leverage data effectively and achieve your competitive goals.
Monitoring Business Manager, Sujit Sheth, runs down key features and functions of a cloud-based system for mold monitoring and asset management.
A system should:
- Organize all assets and information in a form that is easy to access.
- Have real-time visibility to the data.
- Share mold data and documents with the team.
- Offer different levels of accessibility.
- Integrate with existing systems.
- Be applicable to your organization.
