Real-time data from the factory floor is becoming a powerful driver of operational efficiency and competitive advantage. We’re joined by Tom Ferrucci, Chief Information Officer of Natco Home Group, to unpack how data is transforming the manufacturing floor. With over 30 years of experience in IT and digital transformation, Tom shares how manufacturing processes are not just supported by data but are actively producing it, offering new insights into efficiency, automation and supply chain resilience.
Key Takeaways:
(02:26) The manufacturing floor holds valuable data that drives cost savings and efficiency gains.
(06:37) Real-time telemetry from machines replaces outdated manual tracking and offers deeper insights.
(07:46) RFID tags, originally for compliance, are now enhancing internal visibility in warehousing operations.
(10:17) Automated systems use sensor data to reduce scrap, speed up repairs and trigger maintenance workflows.
(11:37) Linking data to key metrics such as mean time to repair helps drive operational improvements.
(15:47) Applying data-driven strategies to the supply chain helps improve predictability in a volatile environment.
(21:00) Strong data governance and classification ensure fast-moving insights stay accurate and reliable.
(22:18) Manufacturing is data-rich and full of untapped potential when fully leveraged.
