Dürr Debuts DXQ Business Intelligence Software

The best way to efficiently control production processes in the automotive industry is through the use of relevant, up-to-date, and transparent key figures, according to Dürr Systems Inc. (Southfield, Mich.). The company recently launched DXQbusiness.intelligence, a new application in its DXQcontrol portfolio for control technology designed to provide those key figures. DXQbusiness.intelligence gathers data from factory control systems and produces easily-readable reports and clear visualizations, according to Dürr. These reports and visualizations are stored in a specialized data warehouse away from the factory operational system, allowing factory managers to examine the data without stressing the production line.

Records of Key Data

DXQbusiness.intelligence is set to provide mission-critical data on one screen. It displays the production data in a dashboard that is designed to be clear and easy to understand. Additionally, the data warehouse server is automatically set to store long-term data across division boundaries, allowing managers to examine historical trends whenever they choose.

Organized to support data-driven decisions

Managers using DXQbusiness.intelligence can focus on the data they need, from site-wide statistics to specific production areas to individual lines. For production, overall equipment effectiveness, quality and quantity data are default key data options for production views. When focusing on individual lines, the software displays these figures over time for the selected line.

Adaptable to individual needs

In addition to DXQbusiness.intelligence’s built-in reports, managers can create and arrange custom reports according to their personalized needs and priorities at any given time.
