Graphically presented data is easily understandable and provides crucial insights. Processes become easier to monitor, and trends and patterns can be identified. As a result, production becomes stable and cost-effective. What are the possibilities for data visualization and what benefits do they bring to the company?
A series of numbers in an Excel spreadsheet versus the visual representation of data in a well-structured dashboard. It's clear: For most of us, graphically presented data is easier to understand. Our brains can process images faster than a series of numbers.

Data turns into useful information
In a manufacturing company with its production lines, a vast amount of data is generated daily, constantly updating. Keeping track of all this data is almost impossible amidst this jungle of information. It is necessary to extract, collect, synthesize and correlate relevant data from various sources. By visualizing this data, numbers transform into crucial information for the company and its employees: easy to understand, communicate and apply in daily work. Clear dashboards with images, charts or other visual representations display key metrics such as target vs. actual states, patterns and trends. Even complex relationships become visible.
The viewer is crucial
Information that is irrelevant to one's own work area can be a waste of time and energy. Therefore, selecting data based on the specific recipient is crucial: Who needs which information for their responsibilities? Should the data provide a real-time overview or delve into details? An employee monitoring machine operations on the production floor, for example, requires different information than a manager making strategic decisions. Tailoring information to fit employees' roles and needs enhances their effectiveness. Additionally, the choice of device (Info Board, PC, mobile devices) plays a crucial role in ensuring access to information from any location.
