BROMONT, CANADA, March 2016 — Cogiscan Inc., announces that it has been awarded a 2016 NPI Award in the category of Software – Production the latest version of its Factory Intelligence Software. The new release includes significant changes in terms of functionality and user experience. Factory Intelligence is a powerful tool designed to drive continuous improvements in operational efficiency. This is accomplished by real-time monitoring of all operations through the use of intuitive and meaningful dashboards presenting Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

François Monette, VP Sales and Marketing at Cogiscan commented, “We are delighted about this new recognition. This product is very significant for our customers and equipment partners. Business intelligence is a critical part of industry 4.0 and it makes sense to have a third-party develop this functionality because it must cover the whole factory. To do this right also requires a specialist with the right domain expertise to know what data is meaningful and what to do with this data. For us, this new product development is perfectly aligned with our objective to enable the factory of the future with smart connected assets.”
