A Journey of Innovation and Integration
The evolution of SensrTrx into Mingo Smart Factory, and its subsequent acquisition by Nulogy, exemplifies a strategic progression in manufacturing technology aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and supply chain resilience.
The Origin of SensrTrx
Bryan Sapot founded SensrTrx in 2015 based on a need for an easier way to collect production data from the factory floor, and an intuitive dashboard that could be accessed 24/7 from anywhere in the world. In a growing global marketplace, manufacturers can’t afford bad days. SensrTrx emerged as a solution to the complexities of manufacturing data collection and analysis. The company’s initial focus was on providing an easy-to-use platform for Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and sensor data, addressing the need for real-time insights into factory operations .
Transition to Mingo Smart Factory
Recognizing the evolving demands of the manufacturing sector, SensrTrx rebranded as Mingo Smart Factory. This change reflected a shift from a singular focus on IoT and OEE to a comprehensive manufacturing productivity platform. The new identity emphasized simplicity and user-friendliness, aligning with the company’s philosophy of making software that simplifies factory life .
Acquisition by Nulogy
In October 2024, Nulogy, a leader in manufacturing supply chain solutions, strategically acquired Mingo Smart Factory. This acquisition aimed to integrate Mingo’s real-time manufacturing analytics with Nulogy’s existing solutions, enhancing capabilities for external manufacturing partners such as FMCG brands, co-packers, contract manufacturers, and value-added logistics providers .
The integration of Mingo’s technology into Nulogy’s platform offers a more comprehensive suite of tools for manufacturers, enabling better collaboration, streamlined workflows, and improved responsiveness to market changes. This move aligns with Nulogy’s vision to empower brand manufacturing supply networks with cutting-edge technology for greater agility and success. The same team continues to work on Nulogy’s smart factory solution.
Implications for Manufacturing Managers
For manufacturing managers and continuous improvement specialists, the evolution from SensrTrx to Mingo Smart Factory, and now to Nulogy Smart Factory, signifies a commitment to providing robust, user-friendly solutions that enhance operational visibility and efficiency. The integrated platform facilitates real-time data collection and analysis, aiding in reducing downtime, eliminating manual reporting, unlocking capacity, and improving OEE.
This strategic progression underscores the importance of adaptability and innovation in manufacturing technology, offering a pathway for manufacturers to achieve greater productivity and competitiveness in a dynamic market landscape. Interested in learning more? Watch a demo or talk to an expert.
