Manufacturing IT Blog

Welcome to our Manufacturing IT blog for operations, engineering, and technology leaders!

This blog explores how IT can drive efficiency, reliability, and scalability in manufacturing — from shop-floor data to enterprise decision-making. With experience in manufacturing IT since 1989, we share practical insights shaped by decades of working with real production environments. You’ll find expert perspectives on industrial IoT, big data and BI, predictive maintenance, AI-driven quality and planning, and automation across manufacturing processes. All content is grounded in hands-on delivery, helping manufacturers adopt digital solutions that work reliably in complex, asset-intensive environments.
