This episode explores how supply chain, inventory, and manufacturing teams use Kibana to gain real-time operational visibility. See how the Kibana SQL Connector brings data from ERP systems, production databases, and inventory platforms into a single, actionable view for faster and more informed decisions.
- Connect relational databases to Kibana using the SQL Connector to eliminate manual exports and data silos.
- Build real-time dashboards for inventory levels, production status, and fulfillment KPIs.
- Query operational data with SQL and instantly convert results into interactive Kibana visualizations.
- Design scalable monitoring that stays responsive across multiple plants, warehouses, and regions.
Teams use Kibana to track inventory movement across warehouses, monitor production bottlenecks, analyze supplier performance and lead times, and detect anomalies in supply chain operations before they disrupt delivery. These capabilities help reduce delays, improve planning accuracy, and increase operational resilience.
- Design Kibana dashboards that prioritize clarity for supply chain planners, operations managers, and plant teams.
- Structure inventory and production data to support accurate analysis and fast queries in Kibana.
- Optimize performance when querying large SQL datasets using indexing and query best practices.
- Apply lessons from real-world Elastic supply chain implementations to avoid common pitfalls.
