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.”

Manufacturing leaders and plant managers often rely on metrics like OEE and APQ to gauge operational efficiency and identify areas for improvement. While these metrics are powerful, their effectiveness depends heavily on how they are applied. Incorrect calculation or over-reliance on OEE as a standalone KPI can lead to misleading insights.
Colocation data center providers face unique challenges in managing complex operations while meeting stringent reporting requirements for their customers. Providing accurate, timely, and standardized reports across multiple areas or sites is not only critical for customer satisfaction but also essential for compliance and operational efficiency.
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.
