Austin, TX – Flow Software, a company specializing in transforming manufacturing data into actionable KPIs and insights, has partnered with Industrial Insight (https://www.industrialinsightinc.com/) to jointly deliver analytics solutions that will increase plant optimization and sustainability.
“Manufacturing plants have been limited to only realizing a fraction of the available insights generated by their machinery and processes,” states Jeff Knepper, Managing Partner at Flow Software. “Using Flow, they can capitalize on the full extent of what they can learn from their data. We provide an all-encompassing framework that links the entirety of their operational data sources. When Flow’s analytics and calculation engines, paired with expertise from our Partners like Industrial Insight, are deployed, they transform those conventionally detached data elements into actionable KPIs and event-driven analytics. This enables a true understanding of the ongoing activities – instantaneously on the shop floor and longitudinally, impacting both the production floor and the executive suite.”
As manufacturers 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.
Jim Gavigan, President of Industrial Insight states, “our team is excellent at crafting solutions out of just an idea or a problem statement, which makes our firm very unique in the marketplace since most, if not all, of our competitors want a clear scope of work which is not always possible to attain. We are your one stop shop for all things industrial data, and we are extremely excited about the possibilities that Flow Software brings to us, to our customers, and to the market at large.”
“It’s a great match, because the men and women at Industrial Insight are true data storytellers, and that has always been my vision for how Flow serves manufacturers” added Graeme Welton, Founder and CEO of Flow Software. “The most successful Flow Partners have this is common, they want to make it easy for their customers to turn data into contextually rich information. Industrial Insight is that ‘easy button’”.
