The Next Evolution in Manufacturing Systems: From MES to Agentic Operations Intelligence

A New Intelligence Layer for Manufacturing Operations

CHICAGO, IL — June 2026 — ProManage Smart Manufacturing Solutions Inc. will officially introduce Insight Master at AUTOMATE 2026 through live demonstrations at the company’s booth during the exhibition.

Insight Master is ProManage’s new manufacturing intelligence platform designed to help factories reduce the time engineers and supervisors spend searching for information, analyzing recurring problems, and preparing operational reports.

The platform extends traditional MES/MOM environments with what ProManage describes as an “Agentic Operations Intelligence” layer — bringing together production data, operational context, and AI-driven analysis in a single environment.

“For years, manufacturers focused on collecting more data from the shop floor,” said Aylin Özden. “But many operations teams are still spending too much time trying to understand problems instead of solving them. We developed Insight Master to reduce that operational friction and help engineering teams focus more of their day on improving production.”

According to ProManage, one of the biggest challenges in manufacturing today is not data availability, but the amount of engineering and supervisory time consumed by:

• manual analysis
• recurring root-cause investigations
• disconnected reports
• documentation work
• operational follow-up activities

Even in highly digitalized factories, teams often spend hours gathering information from multiple systems before they can make decisions or take action.

Insight Master was designed to shorten that cycle.

The platform continuously analyzes operational conditions across production lines, machines, quality systems, maintenance events, and production workflows. Instead of manually navigating reports and dashboards, users can interact with the system conversationally and receive contextual insights in real time.

ProManage says the goal is simple: give operational teams faster access to reliable answers so they can spend less time investigating and more time improving operations.

During demonstrations at AUTOMATE 2026, the company will show how Insight Master helps manufacturers:

• reduce time spent on operational analysis
• identify production losses faster
• accelerate root-cause investigations
• reduce documentation workload
• improve responsiveness on the shop floor
• increase the amount of engineering time available for continuous improvement activities.

The company believes this shift could have a significant impact on manufacturing organizations facing increasing operational complexity and shortages of experienced engineering talent.

“Factories do not need another reporting screen,” Özden said. “They need systems that help people make faster decisions, solve problems earlier, and use their expertise where it creates the most value.”

ProManage positions Insight Master as the next step in the evolution of manufacturing systems.

While traditional MES/MOM platforms focus on managing and controlling operations, Insight Master acts as an intelligence and orchestration layer above those systems — continuously interpreting operational conditions and helping teams respond faster and more effectively.

The platform supports on-premises, cloud, and hybrid manufacturing environments and is designed for both discrete and process manufacturing operations.

At AUTOMATE 2026, visitors to the ProManage booth will be able to experience live scenarios including:

• AI-assisted production analysis
• operational anomaly detection
• conversational manufacturing intelligence
• root-cause investigation support
• real-time operational recommendations
