Manufacturing companies collect vast troves of process data for tracking purposes. Using this data with advanced analytics can optimize operations, saving time and money. In this session, we explore the latest analytics capabilities to support your goals for optimizing the manufacturing plant floor. Learn how to build dashboards that connect to prediction models driven by sensors across manufacturing processes. Learn how to build a data lake on AWS, using services and techniques such as AWS CloudFormation, Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, AWS Identity and Access Management, and AWS Lambda. We also review a reference architecture that supports data ingestion, event rules, analytics, and the use of machine learning for manufacturing analytics.
