Oden Technologies

Oden Technologies builds AI-driven software for manufacturing. Its systems process billions of complex manufacturing data points and convert them into insights delivered to front-line workers, with the aim of helping manufacturers increase output, improve quality, cut costs and reduce downtime. The company works with customers in paper and pulp, wire and cable, and chemicals, inks and coatings, as well as manufacturing more broadly.

The product suite comprises three parts. Process AI, the flagship platform, delivers real-time prescriptive process recommendations and predicted outcomes directly to operators; the company says it turns inexperienced operators into high performers overnight. Data Engine handles and transforms complex manufacturing data, while Factory Analytics provides the measurement layer for output, quality, cost and downtime.

Reported results include customer performance increases of over 40% with no decrease in quality, an OEE improvement of more than 20% at INX International, a 30% rise in process productivity at Lake Cable, and a 5x return on investment within 12 months for a global manufacturer.

Technical work at the company spans artificial intelligence and machine learning, manufacturing data analytics, real-time prescriptive process recommendations, predictive outcomes modelling, industrial process optimisation and OEE optimisation. The stated emphasis is on empowering front-line workers and operators, developing operator skills quickly, and delivering measurable returns.
