Have you ever noticed how many manufacturing companies include the word “quality” in their taglines?

Increasingly, manufacturers are looking at the potential of digital transformation to improve their competitiveness. The benefits in quality management are particularly compelling—offering the ability to optimize product quality and customers’ experiences by streamlining audits and reporting, improving batch and process manufacturing workflows, and synchronizing production centers to improve perfect order performance.

A lack of structured data is proving to be a substantial liability—as ill-prepared companies are learning the hard way—which is leading more organizations to move away from conventional document-centric methodologies and toward a data-centered model of compliance.

Quality is based on a series of facts and statistics collected and analyzed. To produce a quality product—and continue producing a quality product—you need data.

When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain, which in fact it is, all things being particles of a real and rhythmic whole.” – Nikola Tesla (1926)
