Bridging the Gap in Manufacturing
We turn disconnected tools and teams into one smooth-running operation.
Introducing BrightOps Labs
BrightOps Labs is where information technology (IT) meets operational technology (OT)—bringing together Bowdark's enterprise systems expertise and Backburner's deep operational technology know-how. Together, we help manufacturers modernize without disruption, connect legacy equipment to the cloud, and unlock real-time visibility across the shop floor.
Read our press release to learn more about the partnership behind BrightOps Labs and how we're revolutionizing manufacturing operations.
Why BrightOps Labs?
We know you're under pressure to modernize, but you can't afford to disrupt what's already working. You've kept operations running with duct tape fixes and late nights, and now you're looking for something better. You need tools that actually make your life easier.
You've got aging equipment, a lean team, and a growing list of expectations. That's where we come in. We've walked the shop floor, heard the alarms, and watched the dashboards freeze. We've lived the pain of siloed systems and band-aid integrations. And we're here to help you get more from what you already have — without blowing up what's already working.
Built for the Real World
We work directly with your operators, technicians, and floor leads to ensure that our solutions are practical, adopted, and sustainable.
ROI-Focused Approach
Every solution is scoped around clear business goals, not just tech features. If it doesn't improve uptime, efficiency, or insight, we won't recommend it.
Real Help. Real People.
We're not just a project team—we're your long-term partner, here to support daily operations, drive improvements, and keep everything running smoothly.
3 Steps to Smarter Operations
You Bring the Challenge. We'll Bring the Plan.
Modernizing doesn't have to mean ripping everything out and starting from scratch. Our approach is simple, practical, and built for the real world. We meet you where you are, work with what you have, and guide you through a proven process that connects your systems, empowers your team, and delivers measurable results without the chaos.
Discover
We start by walking the floor—either virtually or in person—to understand your challenges and priorities. Then we identify gaps in visibility, productivity, and system flow. Together, we explore what's possible and build a realistic modernization roadmap tailored to your operations.
Connect
With the roadmap in hand, we get to work integrating your legacy equipment, shop floor systems, and enterprise platforms. Along the way, we break down data silos and establish real-time visibility across your operations, all while building a secure, scalable architecture that sets you up for long-term success.
Empower
With systems connected and data flowing, we help your people thrive. Frontline teams get real-time insights through dashboards, alerts, and automation—boosting productivity and reducing downtime. We also provide your team with ongoing support and innovation with Lighthouse.
