When I first started Instrumental in 2015, I was told by many brands and manufacturers: “There is no way we would ever put our manufacturing data into the cloud.” Full stop.
My response then is the same as it is now: “You will if there’s enough value to doing so.”
It’s been Instrumental’s mission to build technology to provide that value – changing how companies think about the digital exhaust from their NPI and manufacturing processes. Our vision has always been to tie together this data from across lines, global sites, and many suppliers – which by definition cannot be “on-premises”. At the same time, leaders across the industry have realized that aggregated data sets will be critical in putting AI to work on their manufacturing digital exhaust – to turn it into valuable IP that drives efficiency in their business.
So what’s a leader to do? There are very valid reasons to need to keep data on-premises: contractual requirements, compliance, regulations, etc. Unfortunately, that’s left many brands and manufacturers on the sidelines of manufacturing’s AI revolution because these cutting-edge technologies are not being built for on-premises platforms.
That’s why I’m incredibly excited to announce Instrumental’s new Self-Hosted Cloud offering for our manufacturing AI and data platform.
