TECHNOLOGY WILL NOT SAVE MANUFACTURING. MANUFACTURERS WILL.

'Industrial Guides' by the side of every manufacturer

Many manufacturers today are looking at technology adoption (Smart Manufacturing, Industrie4.0, IIoT, Digital Transformation or the like) as central to life as a modern-day manufacturer. Their dilemma is they can’t access the people who can guide them, helping them understand, justify and implement technology solutions. 

If you’re a manufacturing owner or business leader, we’re putting Industrial Guides By Your Side – or IGBYS – to help you on your company’s Smart Manufacturing journey.

The possibility that is 'project IGBYS'

Build an open, collaborative ecosystem that brings Smart Manufacturing experts and their expertise TO manufacturers digitally, eliminating the barriers of time and distance and dramatically lowering costs

Find peace-of-mind knowing you won’t be left behind, taking pride in your ability to compete in today’s modern, global economy while continuing to provide for the families, communities and customers that rely on you.

Bring your experts and their expertise to manufacturers anywhere, pooling and sharing resources and extending capabilities through talent access not available today.

Leverage your experience and domain knowledge of machinery, processes or manufacturing businesses in the ecosystem, getting rewarded for your knowledge while giving back to industry.

Frictionless access to talent and resources is exactly what industry needs today

Guides By Your Side

Frictionless access to experts and their expertise will fuel the next wave of industrial productivity, as it has in so many other industries.

Few manufacturers can afford to hire, train and retain all the in-house talent to keep up with the speed of business, and they shouldn’t have to.

Whether seeking big partners for big projects or looking for a little help for targeted problems, project IGBYS eliminates the barriers of time and distance, putting vital knowledge within the reach of all manufacturers.
