With the increasing client requests for products, services and offerings, manufacturers are vying for a productive working model which can consolidate the most recent advancements to bring in customer satisfaction. However, to remain economically viable and have an effective business process, the manufacturing sector has to meet many challenges such as cost of operations, managing unplanned events and retaining knowledge of the resources. “More importantly, the real challenge lies in quickly addressing or predicting process disturbances or abnormal conditions that propagate many other issues such as broken schedule, quality, production, energy consumption, asset protection, and consequently profitability,” begins Samy Achour, President and Founder, Integration Objects. Headquartered in, Houston, TX, Integration Objects addresses such issues through its analytical application that takes in large amounts of historical manufacturing data and automatically extracts knowledge from it to have an in-depth understanding of the processes and operations, and execute that knowledge in real time to empower operations with decision making.

Integrations Objects’s analytical platform, ‘KnowledgeNet Analytics’ and its suite of products, allows to model knowledge in the form of complex and abnormal event detection, expert rules, performance computation, advanced analytical and regression models and workflows to represent best practices, and deploy them online.“Also, KnowledgeNet allows to use the existing knowledge to tie the dots together, and empower end-users to make faster, accurate and more informed decisions, that positively impact the bottom line,” says Samy Achour.

In addition, Integration Objects’ OPC tunneling solution protects process control and industrial networks against any non-authorized applications and users as well as malicious attacks. “It allows to carry process data for enterprise applications with the guarantee of data integrity,” says Samy Achour.

Integration Objects advanced solutions cover a wide range of Manufacturing Operational Management (MOM) applications. The applications focus on key issues that can impact safety and production.Users—from operators in the control room to senior management, interact with Integration Objects’ applications through graphical dashboards that notify any forecasted or detected drop in operations performance, along with the root cause of the problem and recommendation of correction action.
