There’s no need to replace your legacy Quality Management System. Integrate TwinThread to add Industrial AI capabilities that create a clear path to autonomous control of multiple quality objectives.
![Predictive Maintenance-1](https://www.twinthread.com/hubfs/Predictive%20Maintenance-1.png)
Deploy an “open and scalable” predictive maintenance strategy
Too many alternatives lock you into vendor-specific sensors and data ownership conflicts. Apply TwinThread on top of your existing data and multiple vendors’ sensors. Effortlessly combine asset, process, and vibration data with scalable Industrial AI to create a complete picture of asset health and stay ahead of failure modes.
![Energy Intensity](https://www.twinthread.com/hubfs/Energy%20Intensity-1.png)
Attack all elements of energy intensity
Optimize all plant utilities across Water, Air, Gas, Electricity, and Steam. Apply Industrial AI across energy sources, energy consumers, and energy converters within the plant to create a complete picture of Energy Intensity. Easily integrate that data with your enterprise sustainability efforts.
![Industrial Data Fabric](https://www.twinthread.com/hubfs/Industrial%20Data%20Fabric-1.png)
Enable an open Industrial Data Fabric
We open up proprietary edge and cloud data sources and integrate them seamlessly with your preferred open Industrial Data Fabric. Use TwinThread to optimize cloud costs by intelligently optimizing Gold, Silver, and Bronze consumption.

Put the data you already have to work for you
More data is always better, but why not get the most from what you have today?
Go beyond insights
Insights without action are worthless. TwinThread gives you everything you need to fully operationalize Industrial AI in your organization. Move from raw data to action on a single production line or across all plants in your enterprise with ease.
What is “operationalization"?
The process of turning insights into action.
![Operationalization Diagram (infographic)](https://www.twinthread.com/hs-fs/hubfs/20240523%20Operationalization%20Diagram-1200px.png?width=1200&height=349&name=20240523%20Operationalization%20Diagram-1200px.png)
Where is operationalization needed?
Build your path to autonomous operations
Much like the autonomous driving space, there are multiple levels of autonomous operations. Each step provides significant value, so even if your goal isn’t full autonomous control in the near future, starting this journey today has many benefits.
