Tres Nelson 
Business Intelligence Manager

At Signature Systems, we are proud to put a spotlight on team members like Tres Nelson, Business Intelligence Manager, who through his hard work and dedication represents the Signature STRONG spirit.

Do you have a favorite project you’ve participated in at Signature Systems?
Our factory automation project has been my favorite project to date. It gave me the opportunity to work hands-on with our factory’s IoT (Internet of Things) data. Connecting to our factory machines, logging process data, transforming the data, and creating visual dashboards has challenged my knowledge of IT, but it has been rewarding to see information turn into real-time insights that will improve our production processes.

What has been your biggest accomplishment on our team?
Working on our initial factory automation dashboard was a big milestone for me. It was our POC (Proof of Concept) and paved the way for our factory analytics future. Soon, we will have 10 machines showing real-time process data.

How has Signature Systems helped you in your career development?
I love my hands-on position as a business intelligence manager. It has given me the opportunity to learn IoT data development, Azure Data Services, and Power BI development.

Do you have a motto or personal mantra?
It all starts with data!
