Incuity Software, Inc., founded in 2004, is the developer of Incuity EMI, a software product that applies business intelligence to manufacturing environments, helping with plant floor-to-enterprise integration efforts, as well as tying together manufacturing equipment from multiple vendors. "Incuity helps businesses to be agile by enabling them to leverage existing information assets and avoid a 'rip and replace' approach," says CEO Doug Lawson. "The complexity of the manufacturing information landscape makes it extremely difficult for people to access the information they need. Every day across the enterprise, well-intentioned personnel are forced to make less-than-optimal decisions on the basis of incomplete data." Incuity's software assimilates information scattered across the enterprise into a single view called the Unified Production Model. This model lets users access, combine, correlate, and interpret information from multiple sources without requiring knowledge of application-specific interfaces or data locations. Users can analyze information using a standard Web browser, Microsoft Office, or via a manufacturing analytic application, and collaborate by publishing reports, graphs, and dashboards to the Incuity portal.
