MEET ION fACTORY OS

Traditional manufacturing tools were built for mass production, not highly creative and iterative development. Rigid and prescriptive, they force you to play the game by the vendor’s rules.

If you’re spending hours creating elaborate hacks and workarounds, it’s time to embrace a better, more sustainable way.

ION lets you tear up the rule book.

Shape how you work, the data you see, and how systems talk to each other. Start making your own rules to innovate faster.

Setting the Gold Standard in Manufacturing Security and Compliance

At the core of the manufacturing industries we support lies a critical need for compliance with intricate regulations and unwavering data privacy standards. Whether we’re working with an aerospace company with defense contracts, a medical device manufacturer pioneering breakthrough advancements, or an emerging climate tech leader, safeguarding highly sensitive information is crucial for their continued success. That’s why we’ve designed ION Factory OS to support a seamless flow of sensitive production data that ensures not only regulatory adherence but also the safeguarding of highly confidential information and intellectual property. 

To deliver on our promise of exceptional security in our manufacturing software, our solutions are deployed in GovCloud environments for maximum compliance and reliability. Our software is also deployed in FedRAMP environments, reflecting our commitment to meeting rigorous government security requirements. 

We maintain SOC 2 certification and adhere to ITAR regulations, ensuring stringent data security and privacy standards. This blend of certifications and deployments is the reason we’re the choice of fast-growing hard-tech innovators with complex compliance requirements.

DON'T GET HELD BACK BY LEGACY TOOLS

Legacy manufacturing execution software has made important strides in helping us to manage our work more efficiently. But as complexity has increased—the work, the data, the technologies—yesterday's software providers are struggling to keep up.
