Streamline Your Manufacturing Data - Retire Legacy Systems in Smarter ways
With Archon Data Suite, you can modernize old legacy systems and upgrade outdated tools to improve data control, minimize downtime, and boost productivity in the manufacturing sector.
Overview
Manufacturers generate large volumes of data from production outputs and equipment measurements to inventory and quality reports. Most of them still use legacy systems and 60% of firms cite outdated ERPs like SAP and JD Edwards as bottlenecks. These old systems slowdown processes, generate errors, drive up cost, and have difficult scaling as data expands.
Archon Suite turns on its head. It consolidates piecemeal, difficult to manage information into a single store, smart environment with instant access, reducing storage expenses, simplifying compliance, and enhancing collaboration.
Retiring older systems is imperative in manufacturing, where support expense maximum, scalability grinds to a halt, and vendor support outdated. Archon Suite makes this easier with safe data extraction, metadata preservation, and easy data integration across different systems.
Why use Archon?
Centralized Data Management
In the manufacturing industry, data is often scattered across different systems like ERP, MES, SCADA, and legacy platforms. It makes finding information is hassle, slows down communication, and leads to delays. With a centralized system, everything is in one place to get what you need quickly and easily.
Benefits:
- Archon Data Store Combines ERP, Production and machine data into one system
- Eliminates silos to reduce confusion and delays
- Provides real-time access for faster reporting and decision-making
- Automates data retention and access with built-in governance
Real-Time Data Access & Analytics
From machine performance to product quality, real-time insight into what’s occurring on the production floor is key to avoiding downtime, maximizing operations, and maintaining compliance. Archon Suite gives manufacturers instant access to critical information and embedded analytics tools designed for speed, accuracy, and control.
Benefits:
- Monitors live production data with integrated analytics
- Detects issues early to prevent downtime and maintain flow
- Delivers real-time reports for faster, data-driven decisions
- Tracks compliance and performance to exceed industry standards
Smart Data Tiering & Cost Efficient
In manufacturing, not all data needs to be stored indefinitely. Some information is used daily, some data used only occasionally, and some that might not be needed now but could be useful in the future. Archon Data Tiering keeps data based on how frequently it is utilized. This reduces the cost efficiency of data storage by storing data in the cold zone.
Benefits:
- Automatically tiers data into hot, warm, and cold storage based on usage
- Cuts storage costs by shifting data to affordable cold storage without data loss
- Ensures critical data stays instantly accessible while archiving less-used data
- Protects data security and integrity with encryption and access controls across all tiers
Regulatory Compliance & Data Governance
Manufacturing businesses have to comply with regulations such as ISO 9001 and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 to ensure their data is accurate, safe, and properly stored. Failure to compliance can result in big fines or shutdowns. Archon Suite helps you stay compliant without the extra stress.
Benefits:
- Keeps records safe and unalterable to meet compliance.
- Uses robust encryption to protect data whether it’s stored or in transit.
- Monitors who accessed what and when, so you can easily be compliant with audits.
- Automate data retention policies to reduce manual effort.
