Cribl Stream^™ for Manufacturing and Logistics

The manufacturing and logistics industry needs an observability solution that can handle the large influx of data into domestic production and land freight while providing the business intelligence and data analytics necessary for future planning.

Manufacturing and logistics organizations are increasing investment in technologies to gain insight to and adjust their business in the “new normal”. Managing this dynamic growth of observability data and using it to gain an end-to-end view of business allows them to mitigate the impact of declines in ocean and air freight and prepare for other upcoming effects of the pandemic they have yet to understand.

These organizations look to Cribl Stream to extract the right observability data that answers the questions and provide insight into the shifts in business strategy due to the pandemic and beyond. They typically work with data that exists in a multitude of sources with different source protocols. They often have data coming in a variety of formats, and those formats may not always match the formats required by the tools they are using. Even with all the choppy waters in their business, compliance with the latest industry standards and regulations remains crucial.

With Cribl Stream, these organizations can support the continued onboarding of new data sources regardless of format, get necessary insights from that data, and remain compliant while optimizing service to their customers and partners even through turbulent times.
