Google Cloud solutions for manufacturing operations

Besides designing manufacturing solutions from the ground up for ease-of-use, Google Cloud and partners are actively helping manufacturers in upskilling their workforce capabilities with a dedicated enablement service.

Making every data point accessible and actionable

Data is the backbone of digital manufacturing transformation and manufacturers have a potential abundance of data: performance logs from a single machine can generate 5 gigabytes of data per week, and a typical smart factory can produce 5 petabytes per week.

However, this wealth of data and the insights contained within it remain largely inaccessible for many manufacturers today: data is often only partially captured, and then locked away in a variety of disparate and proprietary systems.

Manufacturing Connect, co-developed with Litmus Automation, provides an industry-leading breadth of 250-plus native protocol connectors to quickly connect to and acquire data from nearly any production asset and system with a few clicks. Integrated analytics features and support for containerized workloads provide manufacturers with the option for on-premise processing of data.

A complementary cloud component allows manufacturers to centrally manage, configure, standardize and update edge instances across all their factories for roll-outs on a global scale. Integrated in the same UI, users can also manage downstream processing of data sent to the cloud by configuring Google Cloud’s Manufacturing Data Engine solution.

The Manufacturing Data Engine provides structure to the data, and allows for semantic contextualization. Doing so, data is made universally accessible and useful across the enterprise. By abstracting away the underlying complexity of manufacturing data, manufacturers and partners are enabled to develop high value, repeatable, scalable, and quick to implement analytics and AI use cases.

AI for smart manufacturing demands a broad partner ecosystem

Manufacturers recognize the value of AI solutions in driving cost and production optimizations. So much so that several of them have active patents on AI initiatives. In fact, according to research from Google in June, 2021, 66% of manufacturers that use AI in their day-to-day operations report their reliance on AI is increasing. 

Google Cloud helps manufacturers put cloud technology and artificial intelligence to work helping factories run faster and smoother. Customers using the Manufacturing Data Engine from Google Cloud can directly access Google Cloud’s industry-leading Vertex AI platform, which offers integrated AI/ML tools ranging from AutoML for manufacturing engineers, to advanced AI tools for experts to fine-tune results. With Google Cloud, AI/ML use case development has never been more accessible for manufacturers.
