Here are some of the use cases:

Quality Control with real-time and assembly line historic data

High tech manufacturers use Apache Hadoop that stores long histories of sensor data that can help find subtle anomalies that indicates product flaws. It enables high speed, real-time, early warning analytics that compares real-time measurements with other contrasting data and then compare to quality models. This way, using Apache Hadoop and Big data, we can easily identify the defects at an early stage and other potential design or process flaws and improve our product quality.

Assurance of just-in time delivery of raw material

Two major issues that every manufacturer faces- how to minimize raw material inventory and how to avoid stock out stage. To minimise the inventory and keep delivery just-in time and reduce stock-out stage, technologies like Apache Hadoop and Big Data is required. Hadoop stores unstructured data at a very low rate. It offers them ease of digging into supply chain history that gives manufacturers a greater lead-time to adjust to supply chain interruptions. This way the manufactures considerably reduce their supply chain cost and improve on margins of final product.

Organised and Cost effective Supply Chain and Logistics

Every manufacturer wants an organised and low cost transportation and process options. Using Apache Hadoop and Big Data it is possible. With these large volume of historic data can be analysed using which businesses can calculate optimal delivery routes and reroute dynamically to minimize the impact of arbitrary obstacles like traffic, weather etc. This way these businesses can save a lot and can offer premium delivery services to its customers at competitive prices.

Better Product Configuration Planning

With appropriate product configuration planning production can be accelerated by offering fast delivery times for the manufacturing of various product configurations. Hadoop analysis greatly helps in this process as it offers advance pattern analysis system through which the most popular configurations can easily be predicted.

Spot on Market Pricing and Planning

Doing proper market pricing and planning of a product yields more profits. Any business would welcome such a market pricing and planning model that assures maximized profits. Hadoop and Big data analysis offers such an environment wherein a manufacturer can easily analyse product quality, seasonality, demand and other supply related factors. Hence, a better market pricing and planning model can be generated. For more information contact us here.
