EY Intelligent Factory Suite

Business leaders across manufacturing face challenges with production line efficiency, equipment maintenance and labor needs. Supply chain networks are being reimagined to be more resilient, transparent and agile. Manufacturers are trying to gain an edge by adding advanced technology on the production floor. Cost pressures and labor constraints are constant balancing acts. Companies are also looking to leverage near-real-time data analytics to make swift and informed decisions.

The EY Intelligent Factory Suite is an advanced operations solution, purpose-built in the Snowflake data cloud, that helps  businesses to diagnose equipment health issues, confirm production lines stay productive and optimally assign workers to stations.

The customizable tool brings together data that’s normally siloed in different parts of the manufacturing organization — such as Internet of Things sensors, enterprise resource planning systems and manufacturing execution systems — to help create a seamless flow of near-real-time information across the network.

EY Intelligent Factory Suite pairs with sensors on machines to understand output and production faults, leverages human resources attendance data to determine staffing availability for each shift and provides a centralized view of interdependent operations metrics across all factories. The tool's dashboard provides managers with immediate visibility into KPIs across the entire manufacturing process, equipping them with the insights needed to identify and address issues such as production bottlenecks and equipment failures.
