WITH

In manufacturing, the unexpected shows up on every line and every shift, with impacts that ripple across the plant. A single machine goes down and production backs up. Material quality varies and scrap rates climb. Suppliers miss deliveries and schedules unravel. Quality issues surface only after products leave the floor. Leaders watch margins tighten without a clear early warning.

SourceOne® EKPS is a knowledge system that brings together production data, MES and ERP systems, equipment telemetry, quality records, maintenance logs, supplier feeds, energy use, workforce data, and more. It uses machine learning, simulation, optimization, predictive and prescriptive analytics to reason across that data and answer complex operational questions in plain, natural language.

SourceOne® captures how machines, materials, people, and processes actually interact, allowing it to learn recurring patterns, surface hidden constraints, and reason about cause and effect across the plant.

Where other tools can tell you what happened, SourceOne® helps you understand your data so you can anticipate what might happen.

How You Can Use SourceOne®

  • Identify Hidden Production Bottlenecks:
    While most systems report output and downtime, SourceOne® can analyze machine performance, changeovers, material flow, staffing levels, upstream variability, and demand signals to predict where bottlenecks and throughput losses are likely to occur.
  • Forecast Cost and Margin Pressure:
    SourceOne® can evaluate scrap, rework, energy consumption, labor efficiency, and supplier variability to surface early warning signals of rising costs and margin erosion.
  • Predict Quality and Maintenance Risks:
    By connecting process parameters, equipment condition, maintenance history, and inspection data, SourceOne® can anticipate quality deviations and equipment failures before they disrupt production or reach customers.
  • Run Operations with Greater Confidence:
    SourceOne® can reduce uncertainty by modeling tradeoffs across schedules, inventory, maintenance, energy use, and labor to provide clear, data-driven recommendations.
  • Anticipate Supply Chain and Consumables Risk:
    SourceOne® can monitor usage rates, supplier performance, lead times, and operational demand to predict shortages of critical consumables and materials before they become production-stopping events.

These examples represent only a fraction of SourceOne’s potential. Built for flexibility, SourceOne empowers users to create the tools they need to support their operations and workflows, allowing new capabilities to emerge as their needs evolve.

SourceOne® consolidates and contextualizes all your data from diverse sources, bringing it into a single system that gives insights you didn’t know existed and options you didn’t know were available.
