Stop chasing dashboards. Start building trust in your data.

Many manufacturers are investing in dashboards, AI, MES, cloud platforms, and analytics tools, yet still struggle with conflicting reports, limited visibility, and slow decision-making.
The issue isn't a lack of data. It's a lack of context.

Join GPA on September 16th for our live workshop, Stop Chasing Dashboards: Building a Foundation for Sustainable Manufacturing Intelligence, where we'll discuss:
✔ Why digital transformation initiatives fail
✔ The impact of disconnected systems and data silos
✔ How to build trust in operational data
✔ The four phases of sustainable digital transformation
✔ Where AI fits into the journey

Plus, all registrants will receive our whitepaper, From Data to Decisions: An 8-Step Path to Operational Excellence, and attendees can schedule a complimentary Manufacturing Intelligence Benchmark Assessment.

🔗 Register today and take the first step toward turning data into decisions.

Manufacturers today have access to more information than ever before. The challenge isn't collecting data, it's turning that data into decisions that improve performance, increase agility, and create measurable business outcomes.

In our latest article, we explore why the future of manufacturing intelligence goes beyond dashboards and reports, focusing instead on delivering the right insights at the right time to empower confident decision-making across the enterprise.

Caring for our community! 💚

Our GPA team spent Monday at MedCamps, learning more about their incredible mission and lending a helping hand. MedCamps of Louisiana is a non-profit organization that provides free, medically supervised summer camps for children with special needs, including physical and mental disabilities.

The camps offer a traditional camping experience with tailored activities like swimming, boating, and arts and crafts, supported by trained staff and medical professionals. We’re proud to support organizations that make such a positive impact in our community.

Everyone wants better dashboards.

But dashboards, KPIs, and reports are only the visible tip of the iceberg.

The real foundation of Manufacturing Intelligence lies beneath the surface:
✔ Information Models
✔ Context & Semantics
✔ Data Management & Historians
✔ MES & Operations Systems
✔ OT Connectivity
✔ Data Governance
✔ People, Process & Strategy

Without the foundation, the dashboards won't deliver lasting value.

We asked our team one simple question:

"What year were you born?"

If their answer started with
19... let's just say things took a prehistoric turn.

A little friendly office humor goes a long way. While we're focused on helping our clients solve complex industrial challenges, we also enjoy creating moments that bring our team together. This was one of them.

So... does your birth year start with 19?

Cyber threats targeting industrial environments continue to evolve—and technology alone isn't enough to stay ahead. Building a knowledgeable OT workforce is just as critical.

In our latest case study, learn how GPA partnered with a Global 500 manufacturer to deliver a five-day immersive Industrial Network Architecture & OT Cybersecurity program.
