Flexware Innovation is honored to be recognized as Inductive Automation’s #2 selling Ignition integrator for 2024. This continues our legacy of top 10 appearances on this prestigious list, including the #1 ranking in 2020. As a Gold-Certified, Premier Ignition Integrator, our mission is clear: to help manufacturers solve real problems, boost efficiency, and maximize the value of their systems. With over 125 manufacturing clients and counting, we have the expertise to tackle even the most complex challenges.
One standout project in 2024 we’re particularly proud of is our work with Belden, a global leader in cable manufacturing. Using our SparkMES® OEE package built on Ignition, we helped Belden achieve an 18% improvement in OEE. This was well beyond their expectations and resulted in $500,000 annual cost savings. This project, recognized as a 2024 Discover Gallery Finalist by Inductive Automation, transformed Belden’s oldest plant into a showcase facility and set the stage for scaling to more sites.
