Manufacturing
Advanced data and AI solutions for the manufacturing industry, delivering tangible value in weeks, not months.
Our vision
Advanced data and AI solutions are increasingly crucial for the manufacturing industry, helping manufacturers:
- collect and analyse vast amounts of data in real time, for greater visibility into operations and supply chains;
- identify inefficiencies, optimise processes and reduce costs, increasing their competitiveness;
- use internal data sources to build and offer new services to internal and external clients;
- improve the quality of their products and services;
- adapt to rapidly changing market conditions, such as shifts in demand or supply chain disruptions.
We believe that impactful data and AI initiatives in manufacturing combine two essential abilities:
- quickly generating tangible value that directly serves the objectives of operational and business leaders;
- delivering use cases in weeks, not months, then managing scope and user extension, as well as continuous improvement.
Our offer
At Emerton Data, our teams and ways of working are fully aligned with these two abilities, through:
- deep sector and process expertise in the industries we serve, built on project references spanning digital, strategy and operations, and on Emerton’s historical positioning as an industry specialist;
- highly versatile teams of full-stack developers, business-savvy data scientists and proprietary development tools, which put fully functional tools in the hands of client operations teams in 10 to 20 weeks.
Highlights of the Emerton Data offer for the manufacturing industry include:
- data maturity assessment and a fully fledged data roadmap: prioritised use cases, resources and governance, underlying technical platform, etc.;
- design of data products suited to the manufacturing environment, such as:
- process efficiency, e.g. yield or quality improvement;
- supply chain performance, e.g. advanced S&OP or planning use cases;
- integration of upstream (e.g. raw material suppliers) and downstream (e.g. clients or distributors) supply chains;
- assessment of the potential of new, data-enabled services.
Across all these topics, Emerton Data helps its clients follow a digital transformation path that spreads a data-driven decision-making culture.
