What hurts today.
Copying by hand what is already in a system is slow and brings in errors.
The project with IT drags on, and stays half done.
When the connection fails, nobody notices until the figure does not show up.
Many figures already exist in some system: output in the MES, downtime hours in the maintenance one, costs in the ERP. Copying them by hand every week is slow and brings in errors, so sooner or later someone builds the connection: chooses which indicators are worth automating, agrees it with IT, connects the system and checks the data arrives right. It is a project that often stays half done, between IT’s priorities and operations’.

Each step, today and with Elmira.
Obeyaka takes the values from your systems with an API key, each in its period, and the indicator is marked automatic. Elmira shows you on WhatsApp what arrived, from which system and when.
