Data analytics is changing how we accomplish tasks, take on new challenges, and understand the world around us. Perhaps that’s why it’s been described by Fintech News as “The Future of Everything.”
Having a data analytics solution can be a powerful tool to maximize your organization’s efficiency and revolutionize your daily operations for two main reasons:
- Data analytics can help you organize and take better care of your data
- Data analytics offers insights on how to use this data to make a bigger impact
But organizing, synthesizing, and analyzing large volumes of data is time-consuming. Many operations don’t have the hours or resources to take on manual data analysis. Fortunately, data analysis tools are more approachable than ever before, making manual data analysis a thing of the past. Robust data analysis software tools like Kett’s Tracker™ System make it quick and simple to organize and process large volumes of data to make more informed decisions.
Data has been described as “the lifeblood of any modern business,” but when it only exists in a raw, unorganized form, you can’t do anything with it. You wind up with batch after batch of data that could be serving your organization, but without the tools to process it, this indispensable asset goes unused.
Why Data Analysis Matters
“Data analysis” is a broad term, but it refers to using data to improve processes. Analytics can provide insight into how to make things better and help you understand trends and metrics that might otherwise get lost in the shuffle. It can boost efficiency or help you better understand what happens within your operations:
- Manufacturers may use data to optimize their products, improve outcomes, plan workloads, and operate at peak capacity
- Some use data analytics to find and eliminate bottlenecks in the production process
Many find that when they incorporate data analytics into their operations, they can reduce costs by finding more efficient processes or by making their work more precise. Regardless, when you use data analysis tools, you can make smarter, better, more informed decisions—and you may even find that you can make your products and services better than ever.
Forbes explained the importance of data by saying, “At its very core, data tells us what we need to do next, “continuing to say that, “Data exposes inefficiencies and disadvantages. It reveals truths about our habits and what we might do next. It opens windows to opportunity while offering a glimpse into the future. Data shines a light on what’s possible and has the power to make it a reality. But only if you use it in the right way.”
Essentially, data is an asset. But you need to have the right tools and processes in place to fully harness its power.
Why Should You Collect Data with Kett’s Tracker™?
Having access to more information about our processes makes our work better. When you understand things like historical performance trends, periodic failures, and cyclical rhythms, and when you have more detail about how changes in components, processes, and environmental conditions can enhance your product quality, you can make and track adjustments to improve your outcomes.
The use of data analysis software gives you the power to track and assess these values. Kett makes this simple with its Tracker™ System. Since the beginning, Kett has been known as a pioneer in the world of test equipment and laboratory-quality instruments. Tracker is a continuation of this, providing our clients with a robust software solution that tracks, stores, synthesizes, and analyzes the values collected with our instruments.
Choosing the right data analysis software is essential to any operation. After all, complex software programs that are too challenging to use or hard to integrate with testing instruments don’t have successful adoption rates and are often ignored or abandoned by the organizations trying to use them. Conversely, simpler solutions don’t offer the extensive, holistic storage, analysis, or display capabilities necessary to fully support the needs of the user. To ensure successful implementation, a data analysis software solution must offer:
- Simple operation
- Powerful results
Additionally, a data analysis solution must be easy to upgrade. Why is Tracker™ a smart solution? Kett’s Tracker™ is easy enough to use that anyone within your organization can use it to do things like:
- Monitor and store data
- Analyze results
- Display information
- Report findings
Tracker™ is designed to work seamlessly with any of Kett’s instrument solutions, which means that implementation is simple and effortless, encouraging successful adoption of the data analysis tool. What’s more, the software design is modular, which means you can incorporate additional inputs simply.
Because it can be installed and used in minutes and comes with a very small learning curve, Tracker™ can provide analytical results on the very first day of use.
