FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Key answers for technical and business evaluators.
Results depend on your data and processes, so we do not quote an average. What changes straight away is the reporting: Tower delivers real-time production dashboards in minutes instead of the weeks of manual reporting or months of traditional BI development, so your team can act on OEE data from the first week.
Our team will ensure connectivity between Tower and your MES (e.g., Wonderware, Rockwell FactoryTalk, Siemens SIMATIC, GE Digital Proficy) using secure, non-disruptive integration patterns. Tower creates dashboards in minutes, where traditional MES reporting takes weeks.
Tower ingests signals from your IoT sensors and controllers to deliver predictive maintenance insights within 24 hours of connection. How much unplanned downtime falls depends on your equipment and data, but you skip the data plumbing work that traditionally takes teams months.
Yes. Tower scales from single production lines to multi-site deployments, providing unified insights while accommodating facility-specific needs. Complex multi-facility implementations that traditionally take months are deployed in 24 hours.
Tower creates dashboards in minutes, eliminating the work of entire data teams. Manufacturing insights that require months of development are available in minutes, with AI-assisted anomaly detection and real-time predictive maintenance.
