Abbott Nutrition: Improving Manufacturing Productivity at Abbott Nutrition
Abbott’s Nutrition, a division of the global healthcare company, manufactures a wide variety of science-based nutrition products. In 1999, Abbott Nutrition began working with OSIsoft’s PI System to integrate, collect, and contextualize data at the company’s manufacturing plant in Columbus, Ohio. Based on its success at this plant, in 2012 the company entered into an OSIsoft Enterprise Agreement (EA) to include all Abbott Nutrition manufacturing sites globally. This created a huge volume of data, but also presented the challenge of extracting maximum value from the data.
