Tracking hardware history across testing, maintenance, and reassignment remains a major challenge for manufacturers, leading to inefficiencies, compliance risks, and unexpected failures. Today, Sift, the leading observability platform for modern machines, and Manufacturo, a premier provider of manufacturing management software for complex industries, announce a strategic partnership to solve this problem.

By integrating Sift’s real-time data observability tools with Manufacturo’s process and genealogy tracking, manufacturers can now achieve full hardware traceability—from component testing to final assembly. This integration provides engineers with a unified, real-time view of component history, reducing compliance burdens, improving issue resolution, and enhancing overall reliability.
“Engineers are building 21st-century machines with 20th-century tools,” said Karthik Gollapudi, CEO and co-founder of Sift. “Manufacturers waste time manually correlating test results with production data. This integration changes that by making genealogy and issue tracking fully traceable in real time.”
Advancing Hardware Genealogy with Modern Observability
Traditionally, manufacturers have relied on fragmented systems to track hardware testing and performance, forcing engineers to manually connect test results with work orders and nonconformance reports. The Sift + Manufacturo integration eliminates this complexity by enabling:
- Complete Hardware History – A comprehensive, traceable record of component performance from individual tests to final assembly, supporting better decision-making and regulatory compliance.
- Proactive Issue Resolution – Rapidly identify and address hardware anomalies by linking nonconformance reports directly to past test data, reducing downtime and improving reliability.
- Lifecycle Visibility – Track each component’s full journey through manufacturing, installation, and testing, enabling operational transparency and predictive maintenance.
- Smarter Maintenance & Risk Reduction – Leverage historical test data to predict failures, optimize maintenance schedules, and enhance system-wide reliability.
“A single overlooked issue can cost millions or even result in mission failure,” said James Montgomery, Chief Product Officer at Manufacturo. “Regulatory audits demand a complete view of component history. Now, manufacturers can track every part’s lifecycle without digging through disconnected systems.”

Now Available for Select Hardware Manufacturers
The Sift + Manufacturo integration is now available to select hardware manufacturers through a private beta program, with full market availability expected later in 2025. Early adopters have reported faster issue resolution, expedited maintenance planning, and streamlined workflows.
With API-driven deployment, manufacturers can quickly integrate the system, enhancing compliance tracking and operational efficiency with minimal implementation time.
