About the Client
A leading industrial automation, instrumentation, and process control engineering & consulting firm with 100+ years of combined industry experience and 150+ successful projects.
Facing fragmented project information, paper- and spreadsheet-driven processes, and limited visibility across project execution, procurement, inventory, and costing, the company partnered with ITHENA to implement PanelOps.
The result was a unified operations platform with centralized project workflows, BOM and material traceability, structured automation project management, and real-time operational visibility—enabling scalable project execution, improved collaboration, and better decision-making.
