Elevated Signals has launched a new module designed to offer manufacturers a smarter solution for planning and optimizing production. This tool targets industries like cannabis, nutraceuticals, and food and beverage, integrating production data such as inventory, quality assurance, and work orders into a single system.

This can minimize delays and costs, enhancing throughput and profitability.

The Vancouver-based company, established in 2016, aims to replace traditional spreadsheets and whiteboards, which often result in missed deadlines and team stress. By unifying all planning needs, the new tool helps manufacturers stay coordinated and agile. Elevated Signals plans to incorporate future features like forecasting and AI insights to boost manufacturing performance further. The company had previously secured $8M in funding and partnered with several industry leaders to continue innovation in manufacturing.
