Simply put, Business Intelligence describes the transformation of your raw data into something meaningful using Business Intelligence Software:

Data from your Hundegger (robotic timber saw) and other CNC equipment can be used to help improve your overall business efficiency and performance .    

Using Microsoft’s business intelligence platform, PowerBI, you can quickly slice through data to get insights and views not typically possible with inbuilt softwares. Whether you want summary high-level data at month/quarter level or getting right into the detail parts and waste produced on a specific job, PowerBI will deliver.

In the case of timber saw data, answers to common questions like seeing what timbers are being used, which lengths are producing highest levels of waste on a particular job type or how effective is your design software/process all become immediately available on demand using PowerBI.

When it comes to machine data, a single dataset can have different applications and bring different benefits for different users.    Whether it be business owners/directors seeking monthly production trends with ability to browse and understand any outliers or production managers/supervisors/planners seeking drilldown detail or answers to specific analysis and understanding type queries, PowerBI will serve both.

Examples of the areas where a BI solution can provide insights for your business include:
