"We selected myDials as a Company to Watch because its technology gives manufacturers real time access to critical information in the form of key performance indicators that are easy to understand and act on," said Jeff Moad, executive editor at Managing Automation. "That can lead to better, quicker decisions and, in the end, the difference between winning and losing in the market."
