Who We Are

PaneraTech, Inc. develops unique solutions to help customers reliably make more product with their critical assets.  Many heavy manufacturing industries such as steel, glass, cement, copper, and aluminum use high temperature processing to melt tons of material in a day. We help in two main areas:

• Asset Life Extension – With our patented solution in the glass and steel industry, we help manufacturers in over 40 countries make data-driven decisions using sensors, data, and AI. This results in longer asset campaigns with higher annual production.
• Enabling the next generation of workers – Heavy industries have relied on the experience of employees who worked for 20-30 years in one plant.
