Video Summary
In this discussion, Greg Jackson explains the evolution of SmartSights, formed after WIN-911 acquired ScyTech in August. Both companies have over 30 years of experience in providing complementary automation solutions, and their integration under the SmartSights brand aims to solve complex challenges for industrial customers.
What is SmartSights?
SmartSights combines analytics, reporting, and notification capabilities to help plant automation teams improve productivity and decision-making. By merging SyTech's XLReporter capabilities with WIN-911’s alarm notification software, SmartSights addresses two major challenges in modern plants: data overload and reduced, mobile, or less experienced workforce. The platform delivers concise, actionable insights about equipment and processes, enabling operators to make informed decisions quickly.
Brand Evolution
While the legacy WIN-911 and SyTech brands will be maintained temporarily, all capabilities are gradually being unified under the SmartSights name, representing enhanced, combined functionality.
