What Is Real-time Data Visibility?

What is real-time visibility?

manufacturing equipment asset efficiency

Visibility into product information is the lifeblood of every organization—it touches every function in the value chain, and sharing it across the business is what distinguishes a good company from a great company. Acquiring the data itself is not enough—the benefit comes from sharing that information across the organization in actionable context, as well as connecting it to customers so that the full team understands how products are used and how they’re performing. Enable your team to make decisions based on real-time data to increase safety of procedures, predictive maintenance, and machine performance in both factory and field. PTC customers unlock the value of data visibility and achieve:

Up to 48%

- Fewer safety incidents

Up to 75%

- Less time on-site

Up to 30%

- Less unscheduled downtime

Up to 50%

- Improvement in OEE

Drive change by turning data into actionable insights

If you can’t measure productivity, compare activity over time, or percieve conditions, you’re holding your organization back. Real-time data visibility enables you to measure, analyze, act, and innovate the way you design, make, and service products. Access critical insights to increase efficiency and operational safety across engineering, manufacturing, service, and product management.

Improve Design Optimization

Leverage real-world operating data to design products that meet customer needs while minimizing production costs and making products more reliable and easier to service.

Enable Predictive Maintenance

Prevent costly customer downtime and reduce unnecessary truck rolls with predictive maintenance powered by real-time data.

Increase Asset Efficiency

Data visibility drives equipment uptime by enabling predictive maintenance. Improved reliability allows you to trim excess WIP inventory, reduce changeover delays, and optimize equipment utilization.

Reduce Field Service Costs

Improve service costs by moving to condition-based service that’s driven by real-time equipment data—reducing truck rolls and preventing customer downtime.

Maximize Manufacturing Throughput

Drive revenue growth by using real-time visibility and alerts to minimize unplanned downtime and ensure you’re operating at peak rate of production.

Eliminate Manufacturing Downtime

Uncover and eliminate the root causes of manufacturing inefficiency by using real-time equipment analytics to reduce costly delays, downtime, scrap, and waste.
