In the age of digitalization, the glass industry, like many others, is subject to rapid and comprehensive change. Operations Intelligence solutions form a layer of transparency that extends across all operating divisions:  

• Process Historian  
• Manufacturing execution systems  
• Manufacturing databases  
• Document management systems  
• Asset management systems  
• Laboratory information management systems 
• Planning systems 
• Cost accounting systems 
• Inventory databases 
• Supply chain management systems 

These systems generate enormous amounts of data and information. A large part of this information is of significant importance to each company. The operational personnel of a company usually has a hard time forming a complete, up-to-date picture of production costs, profit and loss account and other key performance indicators. Just like the missing pieces of a puzzle, critical information is often distributed in a variety of formats and unrelated contexts across numerous databases, enterprise applications and operating systems. When this information is collected in a meaningful form, this is often done in the form of a regular report that is created at a time, however, when it is too late to react to this information.
