Whether it’s shampoo, shaving cream, or home cleaning products, Procter & Gamble (P&G) is one of those companies that is part of our everyday lives—even if we don’t realize it. As one of the largest consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies in the world—serving billions of people each day—P&G needs to be able to adapt and compete in highly competitive markets.
Digital Transformation Journey
Transforming manufacturing processes
For years, P&G has partnered with GE Vernova to transform its manufacturing processes—all in an effort to meet everchanging consumer preferences. Understanding that digital tools are critical for staying competitive, P&G has implemented solutions within GE Vernova's Proficy Manufacturing Execution System solution suite to improve operator and production efficiency, better leverage real-time data, and maintain its focus on safety and quality within the manufacturing process.

Accelerating digital transformation with Proficy
But, with the urgency to meet demands and disruptions comes the drive for continuous improvement. So, P&G once again turned to GE Vernova to see how it could reduce costs, meet data compliance regulations, and improve on-site software speed.
The answer: cloud-based industrial data management with its manufacturing solution.
Proficy can provide manufacturers with a secure-by-design, reliable way to ingest and store data in the cloud, speeding process implementation by up to 50%, and giving users rich views into information captured at individual sites as well as the ability to run analytics and comparisons across various locations and data types, including manufacturing, enterprise, and asset data. Futhermore, moving and storing manufacturing data in the cloud provides an additional level of certainty around data retention regulation, compliance, and auditing purposes.
And, when used in concert with a traditional MES capabilities, Proficy gives manufacturers greater flexibility of deployment and helps reduce the size of on-premises systems—in turn making them run more efficiently.

The Value of Industrial Data
Improving manufacturing agility
When it comes to managing industrial data, it’s not just about managing the volume of data being generated by assets or processes—it’s about understanding the value that data brings to the business—and the bottom line.
According to Gartner, manufacturers are losing the value of 70% of collected manufacturing data. That’s a lot of lost value. Imagine what you could do with that value? That’s just what P&G wanted to address with its enhanced Proficy MES solution.

Enhanced Proficy implementation underway
P&G is currently leveraging Proficy’s enhanced cloud capabilities by moving manufacturing data and running powerful analytics in the cloud.
P&G has already gained a detailed, data-supported view into their manufacturing processes, providing insights that drive efficiencies. The enhanced offering is helping the company meet data compliance regulations and significantly increase the speed of its on-premise MES.
