The fourth Industrial Revolution brought cyber-physical systems to the manufacturing floor, leading to to the production of data at an unforeseen volume. Most of the current statistical process control systems (SPCs) were designed in the Industry 3.0 era, and they use only a fraction of the data produced on production lines to monitor the production quality.
However, to ensure waste reduction and yield increases, new age manufacturing systems need real-time operational data replication and analysis to improve. This article lists the key design considerations for real-time operational data architecture.
