Power BI
Microsoft Power BI is the business-intelligence platform of choice for battery operations that already live in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem — dashboards over MES data, supply chain analytics, quality KPIs, executive reporting. As a hard skill it requires fluency in DAX expressions, data modeling (star schemas, relationships), Power Query for ETL, and the publishing and permissioning model that gets dashboards into the right hands. Analysts apply this when building daily yield dashboards for plant managers, when joining MES data to ERP cost data for product-level margin analysis, and when surfacing field-warranty trends to engineering through filterable visuals.
