Arch works with top-tier global manufacturers to extract data from any machine and drive uniform metrics for enhanced productivity and predictive analytics. We focus on the electronics manufacturing supply chains, digitizing both greenfield and brownfield factories. Using the Arch Utilization Suite, manufacturers are achieving real, state-of-the-art 20-40% machine utilization improvements.  Arch provides one of the largest surface mount technology (SMT) machine connector libraries in the world and has partnerships with the leading PCB manufacturing machine vendors. We are deployed on 5 continents and connected to thousands of machines inside the facilities of 4 of the world's top 10 electronics manufacturers. Arch began by monitoring wells in Tanzania, Africa where cutting-edge IIOT technology was developed to make older machines smart. A core part of our mission is to continue making these and other building blocks of technology available for sustainable development, including monitoring wells for access to clean drinking water and projects promoting sustainable industrialization for all nations.
