Today we're announcing that Itanta Analytics is joining forces with INS3 (Industrial Network Systems) to help manufacturers turn shop-floor data into faster, smarter decisions. Built around the people on the floor Manufacturing teams don't lack data — they lack the time, tools, and context to act on it. That's the gap this collaboration is built to close. INS3 brings deep, hands-on expertise in industrial networks, controls, and the operational backbone that keeps modern plants running. Itanta brings a no-code analytics platform purpose-built for manufacturing — one that turns raw machine, process, and quality data into clear, real-time insight. Put those two strengths together, and you get something manufacturers have been asking for a long time: a single team that can wire it up and make it mean something. What this means for manufacturers For the plants and operations teams we serve jointly, the goal is to deliver three concrete outcomes: 1. Faster, more informed decisions. Operators, supervisors, and plant managers shouldn't have to wait for a weekly report to know what's happening. By unifying data across machines, lines, and systems, we surface the answers the moment they're needed — at the line, on a tablet, in the control room. 2. Less integration friction. INS3's experience with industrial systems means data gets connected the right way the first time — securely, reliably, and at the edge. That lets Itanta's analytics layer focus on what it does best: insight, not plumbing. 3. A clearer path to Industry 4.0. Digital transformation often stalls because the technology gets ahead of the people. Our combined approach is deliberately practical: start with the questions teams already ask, prove value quickly, and scale from there. Bridging innovation and purpose in Industry 4.0 This isn't about adding more dashboards. It's about giving manufacturing teams a clearer view of their operations and the confidence to act on it — whether that means catching a quality drift early, rebalancing a line in real time, or finally retiring the spreadsheet that everyone has quietly hated for years. We're grateful to Harry McCollum, Bob Clark, and Mitch Odahowski at INS3 for their shared vision. Together, we're excited to help more manufacturers turn data into decisions — and decisions into outcomes.
