Introduction

This guide describes how to use the FactoryLogix Enterprise Warehouse to produce enterprise-level reports and analytics.

In today's competitive world, manufacturing is one of the most data-intensive industries. Technology, tools, and processes are evolving faster than ever before. To keep the competitive edge, manufacturers need to be able to make sense of the massive volume of data associated with their business—both historical data and real-time metrics and analytics insights. By monitoring, analyzing, and managing their data, manufacturers can uncover key information to help improve inventory management, optimize staffing for the most efficient workforce management, improve supply chain best practices and processes, improve cost modeling and forecasting, and effectively predict problems and schedule preventive maintenance. Adding Business Intelligence (BI) and analytics to manufacturing processes can help manufacturers gain and retain market share in manufacturing, make effective decisions, and improve processes and profitability.

The Enterprise Warehouse features powerful, enterprise-level data transaction processing. Using the Enterprise Warehouse, you can combine and synthesize data from ERP and PLM systems, DataMiner, and other systems to produce single-factory or multi-site enterprise-level data reports and analytics in your Business Intelligence (BI) tool of choice.
