One way to fire up our CTO and co-founder, Greg McHale, is to get him talking about the limitations of first-generation production monitoring systems.

Instead of subjecting everyone to an expletive-laden tirade about the evils of operator input and the complete lack of reason code compliance, we had Greg sit down and write out his views on why advanced analytics and machine learning are the only way to deliver the real-time insights needed for day-to-day performance monitoring, as well as the deep insights into overall factory performance for the leadership team over time.

Check out Greg's think piece that outlines the four flaws in first generation monitoring and how you can break free from mediocre monitoring—we think you’ll find it informative and entertaining.
