About Us

Key Visibility is a division of Industrial Network Systems. INS has been providing intelligent solutions for the manufacturing sector since our inception in 1989. It is the expertise in providing these types of solutions that has made us the leading Manufacturing Information Solutions Provider in the Midwest.

Key Visibility is an extension of the INS team that assists with the energy, asset, facility, and maintenance management efforts of our industrial clients.

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is elementary; you can’t manage what you can’t see. We believe our clients have the right to “see” every element of their assets in a single common environment. When elements escape sight it provides an incomplete picture of asset utilization which results in missed opportunities to improve efficiency.

Our Approach

Our approach is simple; when armed with objective information managers will naturally make good decisions. The Key Visibility team, together with our partners, is delivering complete asset and facilities visibility and management solutions based on standard products and components. In so doing we enable our clients to make intelligent decisions in managing the maintenance, lifecycle, and energy consumption of their assets.

Our Solutions

Our solutions are economical, scaleable, maintainable, and tailored to meet the client's needs.

• Economical because they are built using standard products and components.
• Scaleable because they are built on open standards such as TCP/UDP Ethernet.
• Maintainable because they are built using standard engineering practices utilizing reusable asset program blocks. The hardware components we use are readily available. The knowledge base for our solutions can be easily transferred to the client when desired.
• Tailored to meet the client's needs because we recognize that every client is different. We engage without preconceived ideas and advocate a solution only after we understand the client's needs. In some cases we offer nothing more than suggestions on implementing best practices. In other cases we offer complete turn-key solutions including visualization and management software, network infrastructure, and scalable connectivity components. Our commitment is to deliver the RIGHT solution in every case.

Our Implementation

We implement a solution using a layered approach called Phasing. Phasing permits our clients to construct a visibility solution as needs dictate and budgets allow. Our prime objective from the start has been that nothing implemented in one phase can be made obsolete in any subsequent phase. This allows our clients to proceed without the concern of being on the wrong path or that they will outgrow our solution.
