Introducing ION Analytics

We're announcing ION Analytics to make your manufacturing process more data-driven than ever. Use data collected from across ION to visualize and report on throughput, critical issues and bottlenecks. Send automated email reports instead of manual status updates. Contact us to deploy ION Analytics in your environment. We are in the process of selecting Pilot Customers for the initial rollout. Please contact us for details!
