Cloud strategies often focus on scalability, cost optimization, and centralized services, but many organizations overlook one critical factor: latency. In this episode of M365 FM, Mirko Peters explores why network latency can become a major barrier to…
When a critical machine goes down, ERP may still show capacity that no longer exists while the shop floor improvises. This episode guides production planners, plant managers and IT/OT architects from disruption detection and impact tracing to finite-capacity…
Most factory dashboards start at the wrong end: they show a temperature or an OEE number, but nobody can explain where the message came from or whether it can be trusted. This episode is for OT and IT architects, data engineers and manufacturing leaders…
Production plans that look fine in ERP fall apart when a machine fails, a fixture is busy or material is still in inspection. This episode walks manufacturing planners, IT/OT architects and operations leaders through constraint-based scheduling in a…
A machine stops and ERP, MES, maintenance and the PLC each know part of the story, so AI cannot safely optimize the response. This episode shows manufacturing and data leaders how semantic layers, knowledge graphs, digital twins and clear constraints give AI…
