Data-driven manufacturing is the application of data-driven techniques, such as analytics and machine learning, to design, develop, and operate manufacturing systems. It uses predictive data analytics to identify and predict patterns in production data to inform decisions that can improve efficiency and reduce costs. Data-driven manufacturing enables manufacturers to monitor production activities in real-time, allowing them to quickly identify potential problems and take corrective actions, as well as to optimize processes for maximum efficiency and quality. Additionally, data-driven manufacturing can help identify and reduce waste, resulting in increased productivity and more cost-effective production.
