ZS Manufacturing Decision Studio
Embark on your journey toward smart manufacturing with the ZS Manufacturing Decision Studio (MDS), our end-to-end solution for manufacturing, maintenance and quality. We leverage data from your shopfloor to the top floor to prepare the digital thread. Let’s empower the smarter, agile decision-making that’s necessary in today’s complex manufacturing environment.
Product benefits
The digital manufacturing solutions you need
MDS uses data to create a digital thread across manufacturing processes, while enabling you to execute business faster, with greater accuracy and more efficiency.
Accelerate the digitalization journey across manufacturing
Inform your decisions and boost efficiency through unified data, digital twin manufacturing, ready-to-use cloud tools and advanced analytics. Leverage information-sharing across departments for collaboration throughout the manufacturing life cycle.
Increase throughput and enhance yield for manufacturing plants
Analyze data to identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies, anticipate equipment failures and schedule maintenance proactively to reduce downtime.
Reduce unplanned downtime
Examine potential variables for equipment failure by using sophisticated machine learning (ML) models. Predict remaining asset life to plan maintenance in advance. Create efficient maintenance plans to better use your resources.
Minimize quality rejections and external complaints
Enable defect clustering and batch traceability to fast-track analyses of root causes for controlling external complaints. Suggest robust corrective and preventive actions to avoid repeating issues.
WHAT WE DO
Challenges we solve
Manufacturing organizations face barriers to achieving visibility across their value stream. MDS not only provides much-needed visibility but offers actionable insights that help you achieve success.
Batch optimization
Identify opportunities for batch optimization and control elevated scrap rates.
Cost of poor quality
Eliminate the elevated quality expenses stemming from process variations and deviations throughout production.
Overall equipment effectiveness
Combine performance data from the maintenance pillar with quality data from the quality pillar to ensure accurate information capture. Perform analyses and provide solutions to the identified root cause for cycle time reduction.
Data silos and limited integration
Enable cross-functional collaboration between IT and operational technology. Scale business capabilities with an underlying common and automated decision-making platform that acts as a digital thread.
WHY ZS?
