Plataine earns Frost & Sullivan 2025 Technology Trailblazer Award

Based on research and assessment results of AI technologies in manufacturing, research and consulting firm Frost & Sullivan (San Antonio, Texas, U.S.) has recognized Plataine (High Point, N.C., U.S.) with the 2025 Frost & Sullivan Technology Trailblazer Award.

Plataine’s Total Production Optimization (TPO) suite of AI Agents provides actionable insights and recommendations for solving complex problems in the manufacturing space. Accordingly, the technology enables manufacturers to optimize resource use and on-time delivery in real time, addressing core manufacturing challenges, enabling agent-to-agent communication and even orchestrating communication, plans and delivery between supplier- and customer-agents (read “AI Agents suite by Plataine orchestrates, automates and optimizes manufacturing operations” for more info).

Frost & Sullivan cites that Plataine’s innovations greatly benefit end customers and the industry. Its TPO suite’s AI-driven alerts, recommendations and automation tools and agents empower plant managers, factory operators and production planners to make quick, effective decisions, optimizing scheduling and resource management and increasing production efficiency. It also enables manufacturers to scale operations efficiently with existing resources, accommodating post-COVID production surges and achieving 10-20% productivity gains without major investments in new equipment or labor. 

“Plataine’s TPO suite of AI agents represents a significant leap forward in manufacturing technology, solving complex problems and addressing critical gaps in real-time data integration and decision-making,” Ojaswi Rana, best practices analyst, Frost & Sullivan, observes. “By harnessing AI, the company enhances operational efficiency and scalability and empowers manufacturers to navigate modern production demand complexities while promoting sustainability and reducing waste.”

Leveraging AI and cloud technologies, the TPO suite implements edge computing for local data processing, enhancing data security, effectively managing sensitive operational information and complementing existing solutions. It is also designed for rapid deployment with minimal training, aiming to bridge the expertise gap between experienced and new employees. Plataine reports that successful pilot programs have further validated its technology’s capacity to deliver measurable value — for example, the suite integrates manufacturing dimensions to improve execution rates up to 90-95%, and provides simplified management of multiple global sites, ensuring comprehensive oversight.

“In this era of digital disruption, Plataine is at the forefront of transforming the advanced manufacturing ecosystem by seamlessly blending AI and Industrial IoT technologies to redefine efficiency and innovation,” emphasizes Ankit Shukla, VP of TechVision, Frost & Sullivan.

Plataine has been recognized previously for other Frost & Sullivan awards, including the 2018 North American Customer Value Leadership Award and 2021 Global Technology Innovation Leadership Award.
