Phase ILive

Pulse.

Every shift, every line, every facility.

Daily labor statistics from the floor up. Three production systems, one pane of glass. Praxis runs on Sugar; ACI and Unette run on Nulogy. We pull, normalize, and reconcile so corporate sees a single number — and so each plant manager sees their own.
