About Oden:

We are in a new industrial revolution. Access to manufacturing analytics has transformed from a luxury to a necessity for running a thriving factory. Labor shortages, increased material costs, fragile supply chains, rising global demand, and more advanced product designs mean it’s more important than ever for manufacturers to be agile and efficient. Leading manufacturers partner with Oden Technologies to leverage data in their day-to-day operations, enabling them to excel in this highly competitive and ever-evolving landscape.

One of the driving forces behind this change is the challenge of hiring and retaining front-line staff, as the industry often faces annual turnover of over 70%. Knowledge transfer and training are impeded by fragmented and siloed manufacturing data. We are revolutionizing the way plant-floor staff access and use data, helping workers become domain experts and high performers, faster.

Our manufacturing analytics solution aggregates and translates billions of data points generated in production into actionable intelligence for engineering and operations teams. With Oden, they gain unprecedented insights that drive a rapid and impactful decision-making process. No longer do they need to rely on IT, analysts, or data scientists—our solution empowers front-line teams to make independent, data-driven decisions. This democratizes decision-making,fosters a better working environment for front-line staff, and saves millions of dollars worth of wasted material, energy, and time per factory every year

Join a team solving real, impactful, and challenging problems. Let's shape a future where manufacturers and their front-line teams are equipped with the tools and knowledge to thrive in this new era of industry.
