Austin, TX – Flow Software, a company specializing in transforming manufacturing data into actionable KPIs and insights, has partnered with Parasyn to jointly deliver analytics solutions that will democratize OT systems and increase asset performance.
"With Parasyn's expertise in operational data and Flow's advanced analytics, we're creating an ecosystem where data becomes a beacon, guiding companies to optimal performance and innovation,” states Jeff Knepper, President at Flow Software. "This partnership is about empowering manufacturers with the intelligence they need to excel. Flow Software's analytics, enriched by Parasyn's deep knowledge of industry, offers an unprecedented level of clarity and control over operational processes."
As industries continue to find a path towards digital transformation, they are learning that their underlying data infrastructure is a limiting factor that needs addressed. Deploying Flow Software as the Unified Analytics Framework for an operation ensures that actionable information can easily move between systems and people within the plant as well as into enterprise data environments.
Parasyn CEO Tony Poole states, “we have been designing and implementing OT DataOps solutions for over two decades. This has almost always required bespoke software development, an intimate knowledge of data types, how to make sense of inconsistent quality and metadata, and how data is to be consumed. The knowledge of the data type has not changed, but the tools for accessing, storing, and now organizing data across multiple platforms has finally arrived. Although legacy software systems in the OT domain are unlikely to change any time soon, the exchange of data from OT to IT can be addressed right now. We believe we have arrived at a crossroad in the industry and our friends at Flow Software are helping us go through.”
About Flow Software
Flow Software creates analytics software specifically for manufacturing and operations. Their solutions connect to operational databases and real time data servers and make it easy to build the KPIs necessary to optimize a manufacturing plant. Teams use Flow to improve production efficiency, increase quality, trigger maintenance tickets, and monitor utilities and raw material consumption. Flow can track downtime, monitor adherence to production plans, and forecast future values to help operations see what’s on the horizon. Once Flow is connected to a data source, or creates a new KPI, they serve as a hub and share that data with other applications and people across the entire enterprise.

The Unified Namespace (UNS) enables real-time data flow and simplicity, but lacks historical data access and transformation capabilities. The Unified Analytics Framework (UAF) complements UNS, providing a platform for governed data transformation, historical insights, and seamless integration with real-time architectures.
Flow Software replaces the functionality of AVEVA PI Asset Framework while reducing costs, unlocking historian flexibility, and empowering OT teams to build analytics without specialized expertise—enabling businesses to focus on solving real problems, not managing infrastructure.
Scalable information management in manufacturing requires a foundational approach to integration, robust data governance, and adoption of flexible, platform-agnostic architectures - these key points will ensure your strategy is successful.
