At Actian, we equip manufacturing leaders with a secure, unified data platform, enabling real-time insights while simplifying your tech stack. By breaking down data silos, our platform streamlines supply chain data, offering visibility into inventory, demand forecasts, and production schedules. Actian ensures manufacturing leaders have the confidence and connectivity needed for scalable, efficient, and data-driven decision-making.
Data drives manufacturing
Bringing you from data to decision with confidence.
Explore our process
All manufacturing begins with an idea, and ideas begin with data. Data mined from market trends and consumer behaviors—stored meticulously in and databases– informs the creation of new products during R&D, which transform from idea to design to reality.
Data collected from disparate sources and stored in databases is analyzed to identify opportunities for innovation and improvement.
Learn moreData from prototype simulations is integrated with project management systems to streamline design iterations and prototyping cycles.
Learn moreRDBMS databases structured for historical analytics models collect sales data, market trends, and resource availability data, which is then integrated with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems to align production schedules with forecasted demand and resource availability.
Learn moreEdge databases collect real-time data from IoT sensors on machinery and quality control systems, which then integrate with MES systems for real-time monitoring and control of manufacturing processes.
Learn moreNoSQL databases track inventory levels, shipping information, and route data to integrate with logistics and warehouse management systems for route optimization and inventory management.

Use cases
No matter the challenge, Actian has a solution. From supply chain intricacies to production optimization, Actian delivers tailored solutions for every manufacturing need. Discover how we turn obstacles into opportunities, and data into decisions.
Quality optimization
Siloed data makes it difficult to get a full picture of production timelines and customer satisfaction. With Actian, you can access a single modular data management platform across your mobile, IoT, and remote factory systems, inline analytics on legacy transactional systems, and extract and combine data from these new sources and disparate SCM, HCM, MES, and other ERP systems to perform analytics in a data warehouse that generates new insights across your enterprise.
Product innovation
Accelerate product innovation and time to deploy, reduce maintenance costs, and optimize instrumentation and understanding of your factory floor and products with Digital Twins. Fully tap the potential of Digital Twinning with Actian’s real-time connected Cloud Data Warehouse and Zen Edge Data Management, using front-end IoT systems with back-end ERP, engineering, and production systems.
Sustainability with ESG
Focusing on your supply chain is key to the success of overall environmental, social, and governance (ESG) efforts. Customers trust Actian because we provide more than just a platform. Actian helps companies find enduring ways to conserve energy and materials to cause less harm to the environment, implement traceability, and preserve the integrity of human welfare.
Predictive maintenance
With Actian, developers and product managers can focus on coding the business and operational logic at the edge to collect and manage the right combination of data across mobile and fixed wireless networks. Support front-end data processing from legacy systems and newly developed IoT sensor grids to deliver insights at the points of action on your factory floor.
Modernize applications
Actian can provide you with a single modular data management platform across your mobile, IoT, and remote factory systems, inline analytics on legacy transactional systems, and extract and combine data from these new sources and disparate SCM, HCM, MES, and other ERP systems to perform analytics that generate new insights across your enterprise.
"With the evolution of the Zen architecture, we can now deploy a small footprint/IoT-enabled database that can run in a serverless mode with just client libraries."
"From our first adoption to the present, of course, we have considered changing database several times, but when it came to an actual performance test, other powerful databases could not reach Actian Zen’s reading and writing speed at all."
"It’s very reassuring to know that our solution, which keeps airplanes and passengers safe, is backed up by a database that has for so many years been playing in the ‘premier league'."
"We have been able to save a huge amount of time spent pulling data and manually reconciling data when we find errors or discrepancies. We are now able to actually spend time analyzing areas to move the business forward."
"Actian Ingres represents an evolutionary concept, which I like. There is no steep learning curve involved with the database, there is no magic that has to be learned, and you don’t need lots of hardware to benefit from its performance."
The future of manufacturing
Manufacturing is on the cusp of a revolutionary transformation, driven by the advent of Industry 4.0 technologies and the Internet of Things (IoT). Expect unprecedented levels of efficiency, customization, and automation, with an emphasis on sustainability and circular economy principles.
