Nowadays machines are producing more and more data. Together with a manufacturing execution system this can give a lot of insight on what is happening on the shopfloor. Extracting data from the right place at the right time for the right people is essential in improving production efficiencies. Based on stakeholder requirements information needs to be visualized in a standardized way in order to make quick business decisions.

The assignment is to create smart industry tools (capacity tools, global manufacturing dashboards, material handling equipment tool, daily work management tools, etc.) using different Excel and BI software. The tools will be implemented on local and/or global level.
