Context makes shop-floor data useful
A value alone may not be enough. Time, unit, source and production context contribute to its meaning. Define that context first.
Control and reporting have different responsibilities
Production control and reporting to business systems require different considerations. Plan data collection with the responsible teams and with operational requirements in mind.
A shared data model
Common definitions for machines, lines, products, shifts and events help reporting and operations use the same language. Agreeing that language is useful before choosing an integration technology.
Visibility as part of the work
Be clear about the question each data point answers: when an event started, which stage is waiting or the state of an order. A dashboard becomes useful when it supports daily decisions.
