MES and BI Tools: Transform Shop Floor Data into Actions

Join our webinar on February 25, 2026 to learn about MES & BI tool integrations

Enterprise manufacturers are capturing more production data than ever before — across complex assembly lines, multiple facilities, and thousands of operators. Yet even with modern MES systems in place, many teams still find themselves staring at spreadsheets and dashboards, asking the same question: Now what?

 

Capturing data is only the starting point. To drive better decisions and unlock continuous improvement, manufacturers need advanced analytics that turn static data points into clear, actionable signals.

Join Dan Nelson, Data Engineer at PICO, as he explores how the data captured in PICO can be extended into Business Intelligence (BI) tools such as Power BI, Tableau, and HEX, to gain deeper insight into assembly operations.

You’ll see how MES data becomes more powerful when combined with BI tools—enabling trend analysis, issue visibility, and cross-process understanding that goes beyond day-to-day reporting.

Dan Nelson | Data Engineer, PICO

Dan got his start working with data in the academic research space where he gained valuable experience with statistical models. He later migrated to the tech sector and combined his passion for stats with software development as a data analyst. Dan's current role as a PICO data engineer allows him to utilize his understanding of data and software to develop and manage data pipelines. These pipelines move production data from the PICO MES software to analytics platforms and BI tools where it can be reported on and analyzed, allowing customers better insights into their manufacturing processes. When he isn't building data pipelines, he can be found outside in the mountains of Utah biking or skiing.
