Press release from the issuing company:
SpencerMetrics, a leader in vendor-agnostic production intelligence solutions, today announced the launch of QTM, an AI-powered analytics intelligence solution that transforms complex production data into instant answers through natural language queries. Built on the company’s comprehensive CONNECTⓇ platform, Q enables every team member—from machine operators to C-suite executives—to instantly access business-critical data insights while having limited time or capacity to perform complicated analytics.
Q addresses a critical challenge facing modern manufacturers: the abundance of data with limited accessibility and time. While production environments capture massive amounts of data, extracting meaningful insights has traditionally required technical expertise, specialized training, and significant time investment. While CONNECT makes it easy to analyze and visualize the data with a few clicks, Q further eliminates time barriers by allowing users to simply ask questions in everyday language—such as “Which machine had the highest efficiency last month?” or “What caused the downtime on Press 3 last week?”—and receive immediate, accurate, intelligent answers.
“We’ve spent years perfecting data collection with our LYNKTM and CONNECT platforms, building the industry’s most comprehensive vendor-agnostic production intelligence system,” said Vishal Sahay, executive vice president of SpencerMetrics. “However, we realized our customers faced a new challenge: they had rich datasets but lacked the time and resources to utilize them fully. Q represents our commitment to not just collect, analyze, and visualize data, but to make it truly transformative for every level of an organization.”
Immediate ROI through Intelligent Analytics
Initial implementation of Q aims to deliver significant benefits:
- Dramatic reduction in data analysis time: From hours to seconds for complex production analysis
- Accelerated training: Analytics proficiency achieved in minutes instead of weeks
- Faster decision-making: Management decisions are made significantly quicker with instant insights
The platform delivers value across multiple operational areas, including reduced labor costs through self-service analytics, increased equipment efficiency through operational insights, and waste reduction through instant identification of time and material waste patterns, as well as training opportunities.
Universal Access, Seamless Integration
Q layers seamlessly onto the existing CONNECT infrastructure, leveraging vendor-agnostic data from all equipment manufacturers without disrupting current workflows. The platform features:
- Natural language interface with conversational queries
- Automatic trend detection and intelligent insights
- Comparative analysis across time periods, operators, and equipment
“Q isn’t just another analytics tool—it’s the bridge between the comprehensive data manufacturers are already collecting and the instant insights that drive profit,” added Sahay. “While competitors struggle with complex reporting systems, our customers make faster, smarter decisions based on real-time intelligence.”
Future Growth of SpencerMetrics Q
Q is expected to grow rapidly beyond analytics automation to predictive alerts for proactive production management and more. By connecting Machines, Operators, Jobs, and Materials, it will leverage the power of AI and the CONNECT platform to enable users to achieve extraordinary results.
Q will be demonstrated at the upcoming PRINTING United Expo 2025 in Orlando at the SpencerMetrics booth #5142.
