Abstract
The disclosure is directed to a system for integrating and centralizing multiple manufacturing software types into a consolidated platform. The system interfaces with third party software and performs data collection, data analytics, factory controls, virtual modeling, and checklist creation, as well as many other manufacturing applications. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are also integrated into the platform to assist with root cause analysis and increasing production efficiency.
