Vimana by System Insights is an MTConnect-based software solution to monitor and manage machine tool productivity. vimana identifies periods of production losses using a sophisticated classification engine, and provides users with the information and insight needed to decrease, and ultimately eliminate the losses. vimana supports decisions to improve asset usage, reduce resource consumption, and improve profitability in the shop floor. By allowing plant managers and supervisors to keep their finger on the "pulse" of their factory, and rapidly react to situations that can result in a loss of productivity, vimana is a key enabler for lights-out and unsupervised manufacturing.

System Insights developed the ConnectOne hardware platform to support MTConnect from older legacy machine tools and systems. The software company also developed sensors and data collection equipment for energy monitoring and management.
