DataPulse — Manufacturing Intelligence Dashboard
Ironclad Manufacturing Co.
Built a real-time production intelligence platform that gave plant managers live visibility into throughput and downtime, reducing unplanned downtime by 38%.
Project Challenges
The key obstacles that needed to be overcome to deliver a successful solution.
Blind Spots on the Factory Floor
Production data lived in disconnected PLCs and spreadsheets, so issues weren't visible until shifts ended.
Reactive Maintenance
Equipment failures were discovered after they caused downtime, not before.
Inconsistent Reporting
Every plant tracked KPIs differently, making cross-site comparisons nearly impossible for leadership.
Smart Solutions
How we tackled each challenge with the right technology and architecture.
Real-Time IoT Data Pipeline
Streamed machine telemetry through Azure IoT and Spark into a unified Snowflake warehouse.
Predictive Maintenance Models
Built Python-based models that flag equipment likely to fail before it happens.
Standardized Power BI Dashboards
Rolled out consistent, plant-agnostic dashboards so leadership could compare performance apples-to-apples.
