User interaction with data in real time via mobile phones and tablets is a key component of Industry 4.0 and digital transformation. This connection not only improves operational efficiency but also creates new forms of collaboration and new flows of information. Some of the benefits are:

Faster decision-making process

When accessing data in real time, users can make quicker decisions. This is crucial in dynamic environments, where conditions can change at any given time. For example, in a production line, operators may have to adjust processes immediately, based on updated information about machine operation.

Increased efficiency

Mobility allows crews to access and analyze data from anywhere. This reduces the time spent on administrative tasks and increases efficiency in processes. Data can be collected and analyzed quickly, which optimizes operations and eliminates bottlenecks.

Improved collaboration

Having access to indicators and process statuses gathered in real time, and being connected via messaging apps such as Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, or Telegram, members of the crew can collaborate in a more integrated way, even when working remotely. This fosters more fluid communication, while advancing coordination between departments and reducing information silos.

Monitoring and predictive maintenance

With connected sensors and real-time data, it’s possible to implement predictive maintenance policies. Such policies will spot issues before they take place, minimize inactivity time, and lower operational costs.

Focus on security

The unrestrained use of mobile phones in the industrial environment can lead to security gaps; however, the same use, when based on best practices, and in compliance with standards such as ISA 62443, can optimize analyses and lead to faster decisions, thus improving processes’ security. Users can, for instance, issue local commands in an authorized environment or even test procedures, which allow for a quicker, more effective response. Additionally, data analysis in real time helps spot trends that can become potential threats to the security and integrity of both people and the infrastructure.

To extract this data from industrial environment and provide it to mobile platforms, it’s necessary to first retrieve and handle such information, giving it meaning and context.

Elipse Plant Manager, the solution for Real-Time Data Management by Elipse Software, allows retrieving process data from different sources, storing it efficiently, and contextualizing and enriching the information, in addition to creating a unified source of the process’s reality.

Finally, tools such as Elipse Mobile and Elipse Chatbot provide users with this information in a swift, accessible way; this, in turn, will increase competitiveness while fostering a more collaborative environment, centered on operational effectiveness. This approach not only pushes innovation forward but also prepares your company to face upcoming challenges in an increasingly connected world.
