CoreTigo and Raven.ai are pleased to announce their collaboration, offering a robust and rapidly deployable solution that enhances production efficiency and operational excellence in manufacturing. The partnership is set to provide manufacturers with fast and easy-to-use tools for improving Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and optimizing machine performance. By integrating Raven's OEE and production tracking software with CoreTigo's IO-Link Wireless technology, the digital solution aims to deliver a comprehensive approach to data-driven manufacturing excellence.

A Synergy That Sets New Standards

The collaboration of CoreTigo and Raven creates new, much needed abilities in the manufacturing landscape by combining the two companies' strengths. CoreTigo's IO-Link Wireless technology is known for transforming production monitoring, overcoming traditional communication obstacles through the industrial-grade wireless solution. This offers accessibility even in the most challenging and harsh factory environments. The key to this is CoreTigo's ability to retrofit legacy machines and components with IO-Link Wireless connectivity, without disrupting the production line design or requiring special feedback devices or sensors.

With Raven's state-of-the-art OEE and production tracking software, integrated seamlessly with CoreTigo's technology, manufacturers gain a complete, contextual overview of production inefficiencies and losses. Raven analyzes data from operators and existing manufacturing systems to identify how people and machines spend their time on the production floor, accounting for 100% of production time. With actionable insights from combined human and machine sources, manufacturers are empowered to optimize production processes, reduce downtime and boost revenue generation.

A New Era in Manufacturing

The combination of technologies and offerings by CoreTigo and Raven enables a number of key benefits, including:

● Unique Combination: This partnership is the first of its kind to offer vast data-gathering capabilities, integrated with advanced analytics tools. These result in optimization opportunities, never before seen in the industrial landscape.
● Proven Results: CoreTigo's and Raven's technologies both present a strong track record of valuable outcomes to customers across industries. Combined, these have shown even greater value for early adaptor customers, including a leading USA-based pharmaceutical manufacturer.
● Agility and Reliability: IO-Link Wireless presents capabilities on par with wired industrial communication protocols, including a low Packet Error Rate (PER), deterministic nature, 5 msec latency, and more.
● Scalability: Designed for industrial purposes, and not being restrained by wires, IO-Link Wireless supports a large number of devices, while maintaining all above capabilities.

"The collaboration with CoreTigo marks a milestone in our journey towards offering a holistic digital solution in manufacturing," states Martin Cloake, Co-Founder and CEO at Raven. "This integration empowers manufacturers to not only collect data, but also to act on it in unprecedented ways."

Affirming this sentiment, Reid Schook, President at CoreTigo, said, "We are delighted to collaborate with Raven to bring our technology to the market in a comprehensive solution. Together, we can provide a powerful tool for manufacturers to improve their productivity and efficiency, with access to data from anywhere on the production line."
