SPARK Helps Manufacturer Leverage IoT Data to Gain Efficiency

The Challenge

SMP was losing valuable time when machines sent out warning alerts. They needed to create a custom, efficient alert program. Off-the-shelf options were too expensive, and the ‘old school’ wired programs available were inconsistent with SMP’s business model.

Plant leaders also needed a more visible dashboard to show and tell management the ‘real’ business picture.

The Solution

SMP machine operators value the new game-changing alert system, named “SiMP”.
