There is growing pressure to make production decisions faster and on a more informed basis. Ideally, actionable insights can be derived immediately from production data. At the same time, it is important to secure valuable production knowledge. Much of this know-how is contained in the experience of employees or in distributed documentation. If this knowledge is not made systematically available, it is lost when personnel changes or organizational changes occur. Companies therefore need approaches that directly link data analysis and knowledge management.
Transparency across machines, processes, and performance
At the trade fair, iTAC will demonstrate how production data can be evaluated in real time and used to make informed decisions. The iTAC.Asset.Analyzer plays a central role in this, bringing together and analyzing machine and process data from the entire manufacturing environment.
The solution enables real-time and historical analyses at the machine, line, and factory levels. This gives managers a comprehensive overview of the status and performance development of production. Deviations or quality problems can be identified early on and analyzed in a targeted manner.
AI-supported algorithms assist in the evaluation of large amounts of data and automatically identify anomalies in production processes. The results are visualized in clear dashboards, creating a transparent basis for data-driven decisions.
A particular advantage is the flexible integration of a wide variety of systems. Machines can be quickly connected regardless of manufacturer or standardization – even older or heterogeneous systems. This creates a holistic picture of the entire manufacturing environment – without long integration projects or additional cloud infrastructures.
Successfully deployed at electronics manufacturer Fideltronik
The use of iTAC.Asset.Analyzer at electronics manufacturer Fideltronik shows how companies can benefit from this transparency. The company uses iTAC.Asset.Analyzer to consolidate production data from various systems and better analyze the performance of its manufacturing operations.
"For us as an EMS service provider, real-time transparency is crucial. Since introducing iTAC.Asset.Analyzer, we have achieved a level of control over the status of our production that was previously impossible. We were particularly impressed by how quickly systems can be connected – even non-standard stations such as test or painting systems," explains Marcin Wnęk, COO of Fideltronik.
Individually configurable dashboards help the company standardize processes, improve cycle times, and reduce unplanned downtime.
AI-supported access to production and experience knowledge
In addition to data analysis, structured access to production knowledge is also becoming increasingly important. With iTAC.CATi (Context Agent for Technical Insight), iTAC presents an AI-supported platform that links documentation, instructions, and, in the future, production data.
The chatbot provides this knowledge directly in production and in real time. Employees can ask questions in natural language and receive precise, context-related answers based on existing information.
"Many companies have production knowledge, but it is not always available in a centralized location. With CATi, we bring it directly to the shop floor. We provide a shared knowledge context from which employees can immediately derive answers and recommendations for action," explains Andreas Zerfas , VP Product Management at iTAC Software AG. "Our approach stands out from many others in that we combine production data and knowledge sources to form a common basis for decision-making – while maintaining full data sovereignty."
The platform uses locally operated AI models, knowledge graphs, and edge computing so that analyses can be performed directly in the production environment and data sovereignty is maintained.
Integrated portfolio for data-driven production
The solutions presented are part of the integrated iTAC portfolio for digital manufacturing. The iTAC.MOM.Suite supports companies in planning, controlling, and monitoring production processes in real time.
Together with its subsidiaries DUALIS and Accevo, iTAC will be demonstrating at HANNOVER MESSE how production planning, analysis, and process control interact seamlessly and together enable end-to-end digital processes – for greater transparency, higher efficiency, and sustainable, data-driven production. The three companies will present their solutions from April 20 to 24, 2026, in Hall 15, Booth E18.
