It takes the OT data you already have, maps how everything connects, and makes it searchable in plain language - so operators, engineers, integrators, and data teams can finally ask “why?” and get answers they can act on.

After years in consulting and industrial digital projects, they saw the same pattern repeat: powerful systems, impressive dashboards, but teams still guessing in meetings because the context behind the numbers was missing. ThredCloud started by helping organisations turn hard‑to‑reach industrial data into usable information; ThredCloud is the next step  -  using knowledge graphs and AI to make that context instantly explorable so operators, engineers, and leaders can finally ask the questions they care about in natural language and get answers they can act on.

We’re proud to be part of their **Technology Provider Ecosystem** and are working closely with the Ignition team and community to show what’s possible when OT data is turned into a live knowledge graph. Ignition provides the powerful, modern runtime on site; ThredCloud adds the industrial knowledge layer on top, making it easier for factories and integrators to ask deeper questions of their data and get operational answers in plain language.  ### ThredCloud 
Integrator Program.  ##### **Integrators are at the heart of how ****ThredCloud**** goes to market.**** ** ** **We’re building an integrator‑first program, starting with a small group of trusted partners who are shaping how ThredCloud is deployed alongside Ignition in real plants. Our goal is simple: ThredCloud is a natural extension to Ignition that makes every project more valuable without adding unnecessary complexity. We work with the same kinds of integrators Ignition already trusts, giving you a differentiated industrial knowledge layer you can bring into migrations, upgrades, and greenfield projects to win more work, de‑risk delivery, and look like the smartest people in the room.  [Get in touch to talk about our integrator program](https://www.thredcloud.com/get-started?hsLang=en) ![Integrator Program - Corporates discussing in factory](https://www.thredcloud.com/hubfs/Thred%20Cloud%20Website/Images/innovator-program.jpg) ### Get your factory insights flowing.
