Blog Post: The Role of Innovation in Manufacturing Today
Manufacturing has more data than any other industry in the world – and 99% of it is lost
Leading manufacturers put data at the center of decisions around production efficiency, product quality, supply chain performance, predictive maintenance, and more. But the sheer volume, fragmentation, and complexity of manufacturing data often make it difficult to turn into usable insight — especially for organizations modernizing their data estate for the first time. At Hitachi Solutions, we help manufacturers simplify this challenge by unifying data into a trusted source of truth that can be used for analytics and AI — connecting previously siloed data in days, not months, and with lower risk and cost.
Manufacturers commonly operate with a dozen or more ERP and operational systems spread across plants and regions, all disconnected and difficult to unify. Delivered as a fully managed service, the Hitachi Unified Data Accelerator applies proven reference architecture to unify data from hundreds of sources, giving manufacturing teams the clarity they need to make more confident, enterprise‑wide decisions.
