IRIS
See your operationmore clearly.
IRIS is an industrial research and intelligence system that reveals what is happening, what it’s worth, and where to focus first — across sites, departments, and the global enterprise.
IRIS
Deeper insight. Stronger operations. Greater value.
01The problem
Technology investmentdoesn’t guaranteeoperational value.
Companies are investing heavily in PLM, QMS, MES, factory digitization and AI — but understanding where value is being lost, and what should change, remains difficult.
Fragmented operations
Processes, systems, data and ways of working differ across functions, facilities and markets.
Assessments don’t scale
Traditional approaches are expensive, slow and difficult to repeat consistently.
Scores aren’t enough
A maturity score doesn’t tell you what the problem is costing or what to do next.
Decisions lack context
Technology roadmaps can become disconnected from how work actually happens.
The digital thread breaks
Information doesn’t flow seamlessly between innovation, quality and manufacturing.
Value is hard to prove
After implementation, organizations struggle to determine if expected value was captured.
02The platform
A research andintelligence platformfor the real world.
IRIS turns operational diagnostics into a structured research system. It captures input from the people who do the work, combines it with capability models, operational data, benchmarking and economic analysis to create a clear, consistent picture of your organization.

IRIS
- What is happening?Clear findings
- What is it worth?Economic impact
- Where to focus first?Priorities and roadmap
- Did it work?Measure and reassess
03Scale
From one assessmentto aglobal enterprise.
The same research architecture scales across your organization — allowing one diagnostic to be deployed across departments, sites, business units and markets while maintaining a consistent model for comparison.

04The digital thread
A connected viewunlocks greater value.
From idea to market, information should flow seamlessly. IRIS evaluates capabilities across the end-to-end digital thread to identify breaks, quantify impact, and prioritize what to fix.
A stronger digital thread unlocks greater value.
05Our domains
Four domains.One integrated view.
IRIS applies the same research architecture across interconnected operational domains — creating a broader view of how technology, data and operating capabilities work together.
Innovation
From idea to commercialization.
Quality & Regulatory
From compliance to continuous improvement.
Operations
From potential to execution.
AI and Automation
From insight to action.
06From insight to impact
A clear pathto measurable impact.
IRIS converts research into a decision model — so you can move from insight to action, and measure progress over time.
- 01
Research
Capture structured input from practitioners across the organization.
- 02
Diagnose
Evaluate capabilities across people, process, technology and data.
- 03
Connect
Identify gaps across functions, systems and the digital thread.
- 04
Quantify
Link findings to operational and economic value.
- 05
Prioritize
Determine where to focus for the greatest impact.
- 06
Reassess
Repeat to measure improvement and validate value.
The opportunity
Find the value.Capture the value.Keep going.
IRIS gives you the clarity to make better decisions today — and a repeatable way to measure progress tomorrow.
