Koch Engineered Solutions (KES), announced the launch of “OnPoint,” a connected-solutions business aimed to leverage KES’s engineering capabilities and expertise in combination with digital technology to deliver greater value for industry. According its maker, OnPoint will embed the expertise of KES’s equipment businesses into customers’ operations to improve efficiency, yield, reliability, environmental performance, and safety.
“OnPoint represents KES’s commitment to building new and greater preferred partnerships by more fully leveraging existing capabilities and adding new ones,” said Dave Dotson, president of KES. “This is an important step in KES’s transformation for further innovation and growth, and the experienced team we have leading OnPoint will provide unrivaled solutions and value for all our customers.”
“Historically, industrial operations have not taken full advantage of the data they routinely capture, the knowledge of equipment designers, or advanced data analytics to enable actionable insights,” said Chip Hilarides, president of OnPoint. “OnPoint was created to bring the deep expertise of John Zink, Koch-Glitsch, and other KES businesses to industrial operations and usher in the next generation of efficient, profitable operations. The OnPoint team works directly with customers to deliver solutions that help them operate safer, cleaner, more efficiently, and with higher throughput.”
