More reports do not always mean more clarity.

Too much time preparing data

Reviews begin by gathering and reconciling spreadsheets and reports.

Indicators use different criteria

Each department calculates differently, making results difficult to compare.

Data does not lead to a decision

Figures are available, but it is unclear what needs attention.

Improve your manufacturing processes with business intelligence

Believe it or not, some people make decisions in their company or factory like flipping a coin or shooting a dart at a target. These companies end up doing badly, sooner rather than later. Those that succeed and grow know that the best way to make decisions is to make use of the business intelligence, a set of tools integrated in big data, even able to make projections into the future.

The Industrial Business Intelligence is a software platform specifically for industrial companies, which integrates big data with artificial intelligence in real production processes, to build an efficient business intelligence system, which maps out the right strategies for the industry. There is no coin or dart capable of achieving such a thing. CAPTIA was awarded the National Technology Award for its Industrial Business Intelligence solutions.

Bring a business intelligence consultant into your factory as soon as possible!

At CAPTIA we are specialists in creating software specifically adapted to your needs, in order to increase the productivity of your factory. That's why we know that having a industrial consultant of business intelligence is absolutely essential.

The first thing that a business intelligence (BI) consultant will do is to know your production process. When configuring the software BI, the different profiles of the factory are taken into account. For example, the information that the product manager needs to see may be different from what the warehouse manager needs to see.. All this information comes from the same source (the data collected), but it lands by providing the details that each operator or manager needs to know to facilitate decision-making, immediate or long-term.

Advantages of our business intelligence software for industrial strategy mapping

Efficiency

By combining big data and business intelligence, inefficient tasks are easier to detect, thus increasing your productivity.

Profitability

By receiving real-time metrics and reports, it is easier to build a business plan and therefore increase profitability margin forecasting.

Anticipation

Workflow decisions, whether immediate or long-term, are crucial to avoid the dreaded bottlenecks that can lead to downtime.

Personalisation

Each operator or executive can have a personalised interface to receive the dedicated data he or she needs at any given moment.

Integration

It facilitates the integration of the different KPIs (key performance indicators) and provides a better understanding of the status of the different processes.

Scalability

By systematising the combination of data analysis with processes, business intelligence tools are ready to handle future operations.

Examples of areas of application of business intelligence

Schedule production by combining all factory data, from inventory input data to employee holiday periods.

Evaluate supplier performance to better negotiate prices, ensure timely deliveries and maintain high quality standards.

Create accurate financial and profitability models by analysing information provided by different departments in the factory.

Avoid production stoppages by anticipating unforeseen material shortages and replenishing according to actual demand at the workstation.

Data management process with our industrial business intelligence solutions

1. Capture

Data capture is done in real time. For this reason, it is necessary to MES system to support the massive data input constantly.

2. Treatment

The data is filtered and structured in a past, present and future oriented approach with the support of the big data.

3. Storage

This huge volume of data is stored on one or more servers, distributed on replicated nodes to ensure security in case of failures.

4. Visualisation

Information is dynamically displayed through customised reports, dashboards and scorecards for each profile.

How it fits with the rest.

Before we start

Frequently asked questions.

Do I need an MES to start?

Not necessarily. We first review existing sources and the indicators you need. If reliable data is missing, the proposal must address how to obtain it.

Is data updated in real time?

Frequency depends on the sources, their connectivity and operational needs. It is defined in the project scope.

Does the project include training?

We include training for shop-floor staff unless it is determined to be unnecessary. If you need additional training, we can arrange it around your team’s needs.

Do you offer support and maintenance?

We offer a priority support and maintenance service when you need it. We agree the service model, scope and terms with you to suit your operation.

Where do you carry out projects?

We currently work in Spain. We can also undertake projects in Portugal, other European Union countries and beyond, agreeing the scope and working arrangements with you.
