FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BETTENDORF, IA and PHILADELPHIA, PA — September 14th, 2026 — Caddis Systems, a machine monitoring solution built for manufacturers, and nPower Technologies, a leader in advanced production scheduling software, today announced a strategic partnership that combines real-time machine data with intelligent production scheduling. Together, the companies deliver a unified production management solution that helps manufacturers close the gap between what's planned and what's actually happening on the shop floor.

Manufacturers have long had to choose between two disconnected views of their operations: real-time machine performance data, and forward-looking production schedules. Without both working together, plant managers are left reconciling spreadsheets, guessing at true capacity, and reacting to problems after they've already cost time and money.

The Caddis-nPower partnership solves this by connecting Caddis's real-time machine monitoring — including utilization, downtime, cycle time, and OEE across CNC, injection molding, and other industrial equipment — with nPower's automated production scheduling engine. The result is a live feedback loop: nPower schedules work based on true machine availability and performance, while Caddis continuously updates that picture in real time, so schedules stay accurate as conditions on the floor change.

"Every scheduling engine is only as good as the data it runs on, and until now the biggest variable was always what was actually happening on the machine. Bringing Caddis's live floor data directly into nPower means our schedules stay current with real shop floor conditions, and that changes how confidently our customers can plan and execute," said David Bennett, Chief Product Officer, nPower Technologies.

"CADDIS captures machine status, utilization, and downtime straight from the equipment, and nPower pulls that data directly into their scheduling in real time. Joint customers get planning decisions driven by actual machine performance rather than manual entry or best guesses," said Mike Zimmerman, VP, CADDIS Systems.

With the combined solution, manufacturers can:

• Build production schedules based on real-time usage and planned machine capacity
• Automatically adjust schedules when downtime, delays, or rush orders disrupt the plan
• Get a single source of truth for machine performance and production planning
• Reduce late orders, idle time, and manual re-scheduling work

The integrated offering is available now to new and existing customers of both companies.
