Secure and reliable machine authentication provides the data manufacturers need to enable process and workforce optimization.
Learn why "who" matters in machine operation and how factories can use machine authentication to drive quality control, cost efficiencies, safety and compliance.
"Who" is often the missing link in manufacturing data—but understanding operator identity is the key to enabling data-driven decisions in the modern factory. Machine authentication allows plants to track worker activity at a granular level within the production environment and ensures that only trained, authorized operators can access machine controls.
In this whitepaper, we explore how operator data can be used to better understand per-unit labor costs, workforce utilization, operator efficiency and quality metrics, and other key indicators. Learn how forward-thinking manufacturers use machine operator data to optimize plant processes, make workforce training and staffing decisions, and improve the production floor's security, safety and compliance. Plus, how to implement machine authentication using the RFID badges or mobile devices workers already carry, and best practices in implementing a machine authentication solution.
Industry 4.0 applications require smart systems for user authentication and access control. A unified access system helps manufacturers improve physical and information security, track production activities, and optimize plant processes.
