Ulbrich Stainless Steel uses AI-embedded solution to flatten IoT data challenges
Ulbrich Stainless Steel - Specialty Metals knows its customers count on consistently high-quality products. Staying ahead of maintenance and production challenges that keep precision metals rolling out of its plants on time is a high priority for the global company. That's why Ulbrich recently chose SAS Analytics for IoT to analyse the data created by its plant sensors.
Ulbrich manufacturers the metals used in a wide range of speciality products from engine parts to the wire used in stringed musical instruments.
Ulbrich COO Jay Cei says, "Precision and quality are key factors in manufacturing highly engineered metals that support our customers' varied needs.
"Collecting machine and sensor data from our factories and integrating that with ERP system data will help us understand the intricate relationships between equipment, people, suppliers and customers. Using SAS to learn what our IoT data means is critical for understanding how we can become more productive and efficient in the future.
Faster results for all users with streamlined SAS Analytics for IoT
