IoT Data Hub · Collaboration

Analyses are transformed into shared production knowledge.

Data Stories connect data, hypotheses, decisions, and actions into a coherent case study. This turns the resolution of a problem into valuable knowledge for the entire team.

Diese Fähigkeit arbeitet auf derselben Konnektivität, Semantik, Historie und Governance wie alle Data-Hub-Werkzeuge.

When a problem is solved, but the solution is lost

Data Stories integrate analysis and decision-making right where the relevant production data is located.

An incident. Shared context.
  1. 01

    Process knowledge remains in individual minds

    Lessons learned from malfunctions and quality issues are lost during shift or team changes.

  2. 02

    Data and discussion take place in separate channels

    Charts are in the analysis system, hypotheses are discussed in meetings, and actions are listed in emails or to-do lists.

  3. 03

    The solution will no longer be traceable later on

    Without a shared context, it remains unclear which observation led to which decision and action.

  4. 04

    Similar incidents start from scratch time and time again

    The lack of search functionality and structure prevents teams from reusing proven analyses and countermeasures.

A Joint Approach to a Solution

From Eye-Catching to a Reusable Experience​

The entire process remains tied to data and the production context—even across teams and shifts.

  1. 01

    Ensure Visibility

    A relevant situation is recorded as a data story directly from the analysis or dashboard.

    Chart · Time Period · Investment · Signal

  2. 02

    Add context

    Notes, annotations, assets, and process knowledge give the anomaly its operational significance.

    Station · Product · Shift · Event

  3. 03

    Investigate together

    Production, Quality, and Maintenance use the same data set to test hypotheses.

    Comments · Authors · Hypotheses

  4. 04

    Document the action

    Decisions, implementation, and status remain linked to the original observation.

    Action · Status · Ownership

  5. 05

    Reusing Knowledge

    Closed cases become searchable and provide quicker assistance in similar situations.

Data Stories Workspace with Ongoing Research

Get an overview of ongoing investigations in a workspace

Open stories, statuses, and responsibilities are all visible to everyone. Teams can immediately see which cases require attention or a decision.

Data story with charts, notes, and production context

Combining Data, Hypotheses, and Actions in a Story

Charts, annotations, and the context of the process are preserved along with the discussion and the solution path.

AI-Generated Summary of a Data Story

Creating a Structured Design Based on Notable Features

AI can synthesize existing observations and lay the groundwork for a joint investigation. The technical evaluation remains the responsibility of the team.

Collaboration and Knowledge

How Data Stories Fit into the Improvement Process

How Is a Data Story Created?

A story can be created based on an existing analysis or anomaly and then supplemented with charts, annotations, asset context, comments, and actions.

Who can participate in a study?

Production, Quality, Maintenance, and Data teams all work on the same story in the browser. Responsibility assignments and edit statuses make collaboration transparent.

How are similar cases identified?

Stories remain searchable based on assets, stages, processes, labels, and other contextual features. In this way, documented solutions become a shared knowledge base.

What role does AI play?

AI assists with summarizing and organizing information. It does not replace either the expert assessment or the documented decision of the responsible teams.
