Premier Tech Digital222Who We Are
Premier Tech Digital – Smart Manufacturing is a business unit within Premier Tech, a Canadian multinational with over 100 years of history and more than 5,200 team members in 28 countries. Our mission: empower manufacturers of all sizes and across all sectors to become more efficient, agile, and competitive through smart manufacturing solutions.
We develop software solutions designed by a manufacturer, for manufacturers, leveraging Premier Tech’s own industrial operations to test, refine, and continuously improve our digital tools. From real-time production management to advanced planning and industrial connectivity, our suite of solutions is built on real-world challenges and proven on the shop floor.
Our Purpose: Turning Data into Action
We believe data should drive operational excellence. But in many factories, valuable production data remains untapped — scattered across machines, Excel files, or siloed systems. At Premier Tech Digital, our goal is to unleash this potential, allowing data to be connected, analyzed, and used in real time.
Our software ecosystem enables manufacturers to:
Visualize and control production in real time
Accelerate planning and scheduling
Mobilize teams with clear, accessible insights
Increase throughput and equipment utilization
Track and improve performance with actionable KPIs
Make smarter, faster decisions from the plant floor to the boardroom
Our Philosophy: Manufacturer-Tested, Manufacturer-Proven
What makes Premier Tech Digital different? We don’t just develop software — we use it. Our solutions are born in the factories of Premier Tech, tested across various industries (water treatment, agriculture, packaging, etc.), and scaled in over 10 of our own facilities. This unique model enables us to develop tools that are:
Grounded in reality
Proven in complex, multi-site environments
Continuously improved based on operational feedback
By the end of 2025, 30 Premier Tech plants will run on our OpRize MES. And our customers benefit from the same powerful, scalable, and field-tested solutions.
