It applies data analytics and AI/ML to help companies improve throughput (availability, rate), quality, sustainability (energy, resources, scrap), and flexibility (changeovers, product mix). Data Foundation integrates with an innovative edge, cloud, and AI solutions such as Microsoft’s Agile Factory solutions for industry, and in close cooperation with partners, Sight Machine offerings enable manufacturers to achieve fast and concrete business outcomes.
Sight Machine supports discrete, batch, and process manufacturers at plants in North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. Manufacturing customers span more than 20 industries including paper and packaging, chemicals, glass, food and beverage, automotive, consumer products, and pharmaceuticals.

“Our members are looking for ways to move beyond pilots and transform operations at scale,” said John Dyck, CEO of CESMII, the Smart Manufacturing Institute. “It’s an urgent need, and CESMII is dedicated to standardizing innovation and helping to lay out a path for manufacturers. We appreciate that Fast Company is focusing on industry’s next generation technologies, like Sight Machine.”

“The world’s most innovative companies play an essential role in addressing the most pressing issues facing society, whether they’re fighting climate change by spurring decarbonization efforts, ameliorating the strain on supply chains, or helping us reconnect with one another over shared passions,” said Fast Company Deputy Editor David Lidsky.
