Cognite Data Fusion® for Discrete Manufacturing
In increasingly competitive markets, discrete manufacturers are under pressure to leverage new digital capabilities to increase production process efficiency, minimize quality issues, and measure and reduce ESG impact. With Cognite Data Fusion, digital teams gain simple access to complex data so that they can develop and deploy a wide array of digital solutions at scale.
In 12 weeks, a three-person digital team using Cognite Data Fusion® can roll out digital solutions achieving:
- 10% Increase in machine utilization
- 25% Reduction in machine costs
- 60% Reduction in excess inventory
- $6m Value delivered per year



Compare production performance across sites
Manufacturing performance can vary site-to-site due to a wide variety of factors, but having accurate comparisons and pinpointing best practices can be challenging due to unique data source systems, instrumentation, and processes that exist across sites.
Improve operational excellence across your operations by integrating and normalizing structured and unstructured data with simple access to complex industrial data. Leverage automation, domain data models, and quality monitoring tools to make data speak human with more context and granularity than ever before.

Unlock and scale Asset Performance Management
Aging assets and diverse equipment create additional challenges at brownfield sites, resulting in a disproportionate amount of reactive responses to unplanned process disruptions.
Deliver industrial digital twins to equip your organization with consolidated views of critical operations for condition monitoring and advanced analytics. Leverage work orders, event logs, and time series data to deliver prescriptive insights with less effort and an improved user experience.

Quickly assess root cause of process disruption
Garbage in = garbage out.
People need data they can trust to make high-quality decisions. Solutions that improve operations require time series that are of sufficient data quality. . With data quality rules, quickly verify that recommendations from analytics models can be trusted.
Use Cognite’s industrial data science library and data profiling features to perform on-the-fly evaluations, no data exports or Excel files required.

Create a trusted data foundation to deploy and scale operational excellence
Cognite Data Fusion® offers a more scalable and sustainable approach to industrial data management that puts data directly into the hands of experts and data scientists. Compared to existing analytics vendors that you may already be contracting with, our software is built to solve the foundational data problem.
Simple access to complex industrial data
Cognite Data Fusion® connects diverse data sources (historians, IoT platforms, MES, ERP, CMMS, PLM, engineering/design data, etc.) for secure, unified access. Utilize its no-code calculation engine for improved decision-making with time series, events, and engineering documents in one workspace. With this, you can calculate cross-site KPIs for production, maintenance, and ESG using normalized data, such as overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), mean time between failure, emissions, energy load, and emissions per unit.

Open, extensible, and secure
Provide easy access to data through pre-established connections to popular solutions and applications, such as Grafana and PowerBI.
Create personalized views of solutions and dashboards, organized by areas of focus such as operations, maintenance, and quality, as well as by functional areas such as production and engineering.
Offer the ability to iterate and improve key performance indicators over time through flexible data modeling, and adopt a scalable approach to gaining insights.

Industrial, simple, scalable
Tackle the data problem first and foremost to give complete visibility to your operations. Cognite Data Fusion® is at its core:
- Industrial - Prebuilt calculations and a no-code calculation engine for analysis
- Simple - Access insights using tools and applications experts already know
- Scalable - Templatizing KPIs and dashboards across sites using normalized data
