Flow Software Inc.

Manufacturers have invested millions of dollars in systems to capture and analyze operational data but have come up short of their goal – sharing useful information across their organization. Decision-makers deserve trustworthy information, and Flow Software ensures it’s available to them. Flow completes the final mile of your data journey, providing templatized data models, a robust calculation engine, and a gateway for your contextualized information to be accessed across your organization.

Flow is ideal for building an information model of metrics to improve production efficiency, increase quality, drive maintenance decisions, measure utility or material consumption, understand downtime, and monitor adherence to production plans. Templatized Flow models are centrally managed, honoring enterprise-established business rules and providing governance, while remaining flexible. Operations deploy template instances and add their own site-specific context. Since Flow information models are not hard coded to specific data sources, each deployed instance is adaptable to the site’s environment, regardless of the system architecture.

Flow’s data engine excels at KPI calculations and was built specifically to address the challenges found within manufacturing environments. Connect operational databases and servers to Flow and the engine is ready to join data points from different systems and databases, cleanse your data, and slice it into context rich KPIs. Flow handles the rerunning of calculations, versions results, and allows for KPI interrogation, even letting users drill down and examine the raw data within the original source. Trust is everything, and with Flow you can be confident that the information driving your daily meetings, supporting your people, and strengthening your operations is solid.

With new calculations and KPIs created, Flow becomes your hub to share contextually rich information with applications and people at your plants and the entire enterprise.
