Industrial Data Acquisition & Analytics
From Industrial Data to Actionable Intelligence.
We connect industrial equipment, acquire operational data, and transform it into dashboards, analytics, and insight.
Optimize and secure your industrial control systems using AI, cloud and cyber — from root cause identification to predictive maintenance.
Problems we solve
Your equipment knows more than your dashboards do.
Equipment that isn't connected
Motors, drives and controllers hold valuable data that never leaves the shop floor.
No real-time visibility
Downtime, energy use and quality issues are discovered too late to act.
Reactive maintenance
Failures drive the schedule instead of data-driven, predictive planning.
Capabilities & deliverables
From the sensor to the decision.
Industrial connectivity
Connect a broad variety of industrial assets and systems to a unified data repository.
OPC UA, Modbus RTU/TCP, 250+ protocols
Data acquisition & edge
Private, secure, low-cost edge-to-cloud connections for telemetry and image data.
Edge gateways, acquisition pipelines
Data contextualization
Normalize and enrich factory data into a common data model and lakehouse.
Data model, contextualized storage
Dashboards & reporting
Interactive dashboards to monitor trends, generate reports and set alarms.
Dashboards, PDF reports, mobile apps
Example: water utility
From pump data to operational insight.
Pump
Run status, vibration and bearing temperature from every pump station.
Flow
Flow rate per district zone, trended around the clock.
Pressure
Pressure at network junctions, sampled in near real time.
What the data tells you
- Find leaks in hours, not weeks. A 3 AM pressure drop in one zone points crews to the likely leak location.
- Service pumps before they fail. Rising vibration trends schedule maintenance on your terms, not the pump's.
- Cut energy waste. Comparing flow against power draw reveals pumps running outside their best efficiency point.
Industrial data architecture
Five layers. One connected data flow.
Activities
Survey assets and protocols; connect motors, drives, contactors and PLCs via OPC UA, Modbus RTU/TCP and 250+ machine protocols.
Deliverables
Connectivity map, edge gateway configuration.
Outcome
Equipment is online and streaming.
AI-driven operation optimization
Use cases that pay back.
Root Cause Identification
Quickly identify root causes of quality fluctuations and defects to increase quality and consistency, eliminate sources of defects, optimize maintenance schedules, improve machine calibration, and offer targeted operator training.
Machine-Level Anomaly Detection
Tap into a real-time stream of machine sensor data to detect trends and anomalies as they unfold across multiple sensor dimensions such as noise, vibration and temperature.
Predictive Maintenance
Deploy a solution in weeks using pre-built ML models with live and historic data — and shift from facility-by-facility maintenance to a global view of machine health.
In-line Quality Control
Monitor production in real time to detect quality deviations as they happen, before defects reach the end of the line.
Business benefits
Data that changes how you operate.
Fuel team productivity
Turn manufacturing engineers into data scientists with easy-to-use implementations.
Drive data transformation
Real-time, edge-to-cloud data access and visibility across manufacturing operations.
Deploy AI in production
Help factories run faster and smoother by using AI and data to optimize cost and production.

History. SPS began as a software engineering firm, consulting on software development productivity for federal and commercial clients. In the late 1990s it extended that expertise into cybersecurity and web infrastructure, and today it builds industry solutions using AI, cloud and connected technologies.
Expertise. Industrial connectivity, data platforms, dashboards, analytics and cybersecurity — applied to helping manufacturers turn operational data into decisions.
Not the SPS exhibition.
Software Productivity Strategists, Inc. is an independent engineering company. We are not the organizer of, or affiliated with, the SPS – smart production solutions trade fair.
