Smarter Manufacturing Starts with Better Data

Step into Industry 4.0 with better data. From the shop floor to the front office, manufacturers run on data. But when information is stuck in outdated systems, scattered across different plants and takes hours to report on - it becomes a barrier, not a benefit. 

At Superior Consulting Services, we help manufacturing organizations modernize how they store, move, and use data. Unify reporting, synthesize historic data for forecasting, deliver real-time data, extract valuable visualizations and more with a custom data solution from SCS.

Frequently Asked Questions 

What MES, ERP, and SCADA systems do you work with?

We haven’t met a system yet that we can’t work with. For a lot of our manufacturing clients, we’ll set up a custom application that automatically imports and sorts data real-time from their existing systems. A majority of our clients utilize NetSuite, Oracle, or Microsoft tools for their current data operations, but we’ve also worked with clients who use other tools or even have a completely custom ERP. 

We’ll discuss your current tech stack during your discovery meeting as part of our scoping to determine the best path forward for your organization.

How do you ensure data security for sensitive information?

All SCS employees are HIPAA-certified and renew that certification on an annual basis. We also have several consultants who are CJIS-certified (Criminal Justice Information System). Our employees complete monthly security training on a broad range of top through KnowBe4.  Courses cover a broad range of topics including risk management, technology and data security, to phishing and scamming.
