Enterprise Search for Manufacturers - Webinar with vdR and Sinequa, October 2022

Every company is a technology (and information) company now, and the Digital Thread brings all your data, insights, designs, and processes into one location to find the connections that the raw data would have otherwise hidden. A true digital thread provides the means that future-thinking organizations need to succeed in a world where work will never be the same.

One of the buzz-iest concepts in manufacturing, engineering, and knowledge management today is the “digital thread.” The buzz is justified: organizations that turn the digital thread from an idea into reality unlock widespread opportunities to improve performance at every stage of the product lifecycle, from 15-30% labor productivity increases, 10-20% improvements in the cost-of-quality, and 15-20% reductions in inventory-holding costs (McKinsey) for starters.

A true digital thread provides the means that future-thinking organizations need to succeed in a world where work will never be the same.

Are you ready to see transformative changes in the way your organization finds, analyzes, and acts on its data? Join Martin van de Roest, industry leader and Digital Thread expert, and Nick Scholz, product marketer, to learn:

Case Study - Innovation Through Connectivity in the Energy Industry

Company Background

Caltex Oil Tools is a product and services company with over 30 years of experience in the on-shore and offshore oil and gas industry. Recently, however, the company underwent an ownership and leadership change that led to a strategic shift toward a focus on highly specialized engineering capabilities and solutions—specifically on equipment used between the water line and mud line in the deep-water space. A typical engagement might involve oil well ‘production enhancement,’ where specialized equipment is used to make a well more productive. This involves developing machinery that gives the field team access to the well bore to deliver chemical packages that increase oil production.

“If I tell a customer that they’ve got full access to the manufacturing data for a product that we developed for them, that’s going to blow their mind. That’s going to set us apart from our competitors and it’s going to give us some improvement in productivity and lower our costs and improve our quality.”
