By Gareth Halstead Every plant has a unique way of operating. From hundreds of control parameters, to the volume of production materials processed and the measured outputs, there is a huge amount of data available. Pre Industry 4.0 plants are hampered by their inability to capitalize upon this valuable resource, often resulting in poor operational performance and quality metrics.
