What's so great about edge?

Posted by Amy Thibault on Jan 2, 2024 10:52:00 AM

 

 

 

Every market heat these days is hot with pressure. We hear the same thing from every direction - Successful production needs technology that can provide speed and stronger efficiencies that deliver on-going return - this is a must have, and no longer just a 'nicety'. These same demands are only growing every day for most industries to remain producing positive outcomes and hitting their always increasing targets and goals.

It's no wonder; with a lack of skilled labor, higher costs of everything, and constant pressures from every angle that are taking on a new level of intensity - it's more important now than ever before that you get it right from the start; and quickly. That said; we also hear it can be a daunting task and super confusing to figure out what technology and operational changes will actually provide results today, and tomorrow with growing return for sustainability and continued production gains. It can quickly escalate into the most advanced game of chess you've ever played.

3 Quick tips to increase your OEM customer loyalty

Posted by Amy Thibault on Dec 19, 2023 11:30:00 AM

 

 

 

We've all heard someone, at some point tell us 'it's easier to keep a current customer happy than it is to find a new customer.' There is giant truth to this statement. You certainly want your customers to be with you for years and years - you've built relationships with them, know their kids names, gone above and beyond to get their challenges solved, have had many laughs with them, and helped them in every possible way you are able. But, then one day; Johnny Slick walks through the door with a new start-up company that is offering a much lower price, tons of empty and unproven promises, and loads of fluffy-meaningless words of what the new Johnny Slick product offers that yours may not; and just as fast as a movie theater clearing out when someone screams 'fire' -  your long-standing customer is gone.

Customer loyalty is everything to your ultimate OEM business sustainability and success. Their loyalty can literally make or break your entire business. But how to attract and retain your end customers isn't always as easy, or something you feel like you have control over because in the market today competition is tough, options are plenty, and people simply expect more from your business than ever before.

Sharpen your data sharing for import or export

Posted by Amy Thibault on Oct 31, 2023 10:45:00 AM

 

 

 

When you were a child you were probably encouraged to share things like your toys, games, or your birthday cake - but imagine if you weren't taught to share at all; you would just eat the entire birthday cake yourself - Yikes!

That same child version of you was also hopefully taught what 'not' to share - important things like your parents bank account pin, or your mom's email password.

When you think about how your operational data should (or should not) be shared with other applications to make your overall tech stack work to it's fullest potential for your company; and just how easy it is (or isn't) to share the right data to the correct applications you quickly realize how important data sharing is and the potential impact it can have on your business outcomes.

Unravel your wild industrial data

Posted by Amy Thibault on Oct 24, 2023 10:45:00 AM

 

 

 

Many people enjoy knowing every little detail about something, even if it doesn't really correlate directly to them. All the power to them! Personally, I like people to get right to the point; tell me what I need to know - Don't dance around what you're trying to say, or give me so much info it makes my head spin.

Please, please, please just be clear and concise.

I'm pretty sure companies and their staff also want their data straightforward and easy to understand. Not such a large amount of data that drowns them with every tiny detail that isn't relevant, or actionable. Sometimes too much data can become pretty much useless because it would take you hours to filter through it all to find the data you actually do need.

Posted by Amy Thibault on Oct 17, 2023 10:15:00 AM

 

 

 

When someone mentions something like 'cloud-native IIoT' do your teeth start to clench in stress and you immediately begin to search for your antacids to ward off the quickly approaching heartburn that comes with the topic? I hear you, understand your anxiety and totally feel your pain because I've been there many times before.

That's until I started thinking of IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) differently; what it really 'means' to us, the humans of the world. How it can actually help makes our lives better in several ways; like increasing the safety of many very dangerous situations, how it can even prevent terrible problems before they even happen and how it can make companies be more profitable so more people keep their jobs and prices don't over-inflate for the end buyers.

Unlock operational insights

Posted by Amy Thibault on Oct 3, 2023 11:00:00 AM

 

I think it's safe to safe that many of us have experienced different times in our lives that we knew we didn't have all the information; times when we simply knew there was more to the story, or something missing that we should know in order to make an informed decision. Some people call it intuition, others say it's a 'hunch' - call it whatever you like, but either way having that feeling is certainly frustrating at best; potentially even life-threatening at worst.

When it comes to your operations, I hope you don't get that feeling very often - But if you do then we can help.
