From smart factories to connected supply chains, Industry 4.0 has challenged manufacturers to reduce manual, hard-to-scale processes, accelerate digital transformation, collect more actionable ESG data, and take advantage of insights from digital twins and anomaly detection. The digital factory isn’t just a buzzword trend—it’s the new reality for manufacturing. Key to this change is the use of manufacturing analytics to ensure quality, increase performance and yield, reduce costs, and optimize supply chains. Does your organization have a trusted data and analytics platform—like the leading manufacturers below—to turn your manufacturing processes into competitive advantages?

Brembo Improves Processes and Increases Revenue with Analytics

Brembo SpA is the world leader and acknowledged innovator of disc brake technology for automotive vehicles. The company wanted a better way to achieve smart factory goals, such as improved process optimization control, purchasing, quality control, and R&D. Brembo found it with TIBCO. The company reports a 25 percent increase in revenue due to improved production efficiency. Its manufacturing department uses TIBCO Spotfire analytics for clustering the cooling curves of its aluminum foundry and for predictive maintenance and lifespan prediction of machine tools. Additionally, the advanced R&D department uses the platform to develop KPIs for noise analysis and testing. 

“With Spotfire, we can discover and rationalize a lot of information that was otherwise not possible…Spotfire became a new standard for analytics at the Brembo Group,” said Paolo Crovetti, chief information officer at Brembo.
