NWA Focus EMI

All EMI solutions are not created equal.  The next generation of EMI, NWA Focus EMI goes far beyond basic EMI to focus the right people, on the right issues, with the right information and solutions at the right time.

Northwest Analytics picks up where simple EMI systems leave off, efficiently combining data, analytics, and real-time visibility - from existing data sources - with two, key accelerating modules, KnowledgeBase™ and Collaboration™, for a new level of manufacturing intelligence for intelligent manufacturing.  The NWA Focus EMI Core platform delivers real-time process analytics and role-specific visualization services from existing manufacturing data sources through direct connectivity without the need for data duplication or redundant data storage.  This delivers the visibility and intelligence required by personnel - from operators to managers to vice presidents - to recognize problems quickly and make fast, informed decisions to impact operations immediately.

NWA Focus EMI then accelerates those benefits with KnowledgeBase and Collaboration, capturing and proliferating best practices across the entire enterprise to resolve an organizer's most pressing operational issues through manufacturing-focused collaboration.
