Digitization is transforming today’s manufacturing industry to opt for efficient working models in disparate production practices. However, staying economically viable and maintaining effective processes throughout the manufacturing process is often a grievous challenge. “The manufacturing sector is struggling to keep the heads up in the sea of challenges that includes high operation costs, unplanned events and mismanaged resources,” begins Samy Achour, President and Founder, Integration Objects. “Furthermore, the real challenge lies in swiftly addressing process disturbances or abnormal conditions that pilots into many other issues such as broken schedule, quality, production, energy consumption, asset protection, and consequently profitability.” Headquartered in, Houston, TX, Integration Objects renders highly advanced analytical application that converts historic manufacturing data into insightful bytes of information. The extracted data is leveraged by operators to gain in-depth understanding of the processes and craft fruitful decisions.

Integration Objects’ 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 uses 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 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,” notes 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.
