Data drives manufacturing
Bringing you from data to decision with confidence.
Explore our process
All manufacturing begins with an idea, and ideas begin with data. Data mined from market trends and consumer behaviors—stored meticulously in and databases– informs the creation of new products during R&D, which transform from idea to design to reality.
Data collected from disparate sources and stored in databases is analyzed to identify opportunities for innovation and improvement.
Read Customer StoryData from prototype simulations is integrated with project management systems to streamline design iterations and prototyping cycles.
Read Customer StoryRDBMS databases structured for historical analytics models collect sales data, market trends, and resource availability data, which is then integrated with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems to align production schedules with forecasted demand and resource availability.
Read Customer StoryEdge databases collect real-time data from IoT sensors on machinery and quality control systems, which then integrate with MES systems for real-time monitoring and control of manufacturing processes.
Read Customer StoryNoSQL databases track inventory levels, shipping information, and route data to integrate with logistics and warehouse management systems for route optimization and inventory management.

"With the evolution of the Zen architecture, we can now deploy a small footprint/IoT-enabled database that can run in a serverless mode with just client libraries."
"Zen continues to provide excellent price performance. With Actian Zen we save time and resources, which is key to our competitive success.”
"It’s very reassuring to know that our solution, which keeps airplanes and passengers safe, is backed up by a database that has for so many years been playing in the ‘premier league'."
"We have been able to save a huge amount of time spent pulling data and manually reconciling data when we find errors or discrepancies. We are now able to actually spend time analyzing areas to move the business forward."
"Actian Ingres represents an evolutionary concept, which I like. There is no steep learning curve involved with the database, there is no magic that has to be learned, and you don’t need lots of hardware to benefit from its performance."
The future of manufacturing
Manufacturing is on the cusp of a revolutionary transformation, driven by the advent of Industry 4.0 technologies and the Internet of Things (IoT). Expect unprecedented levels of efficiency, customization, and automation, with an emphasis on sustainability and circular economy principles.
