About Data Inventions
Our Story
In
2014, entrepreneur Duane Clement founded Data Inventions Inc. in Erie,
Pennsylvania.
Why Erie?
Duane and the Data Inventions team are driven by a passion to help discrete manufacturers succeed, but how we manufacture things in the United States has changed. The manufacturing sector now depends on technology and innovation—and it only makes sense for discrete manufacturers and technology companies that provide innovative solutions to be near each other.
We believe that cutting-edge manufacturing technology companies, successful manufacturers, and thriving communities go hand-in-hand.
We
believe that manufacturing leaders care about their communities. They want to
see the employees who pass in and out of their doors be able to provide a
middle class or better life for their families.
At Data Inventions, we are driven to make a similar impact.
Our team is dedicated to developing
groundbreaking solutions that improve machine utilization rates, significantly
increase visibility, change shop culture, and make discrete manufacturers more
profitable. We are committed to helping guide manufacturers toward continuous
improvement supported by advanced analytics—enabling them to better compete in
the global economy.
We know the benefits of
profitable manufacturers infuse entire communities with opportunity.
Decades ago, a manufacturing revolution occurred in America’s heartland and a thriving manufacturing sector built towns, cities, and whole regions that were beacons of prosperity and success. Today, Data Inventions is on the forefront of a new revolution—leveraging Erie’s manufacturing heritage as a competitive strength—building Erie Country into a region known for being an innovative manufacturing technology corridor.

Innovative Problem-Solvers
Encouraging & Supportive
Open-minded Communicators
We are excited about being creative, thinking out of the
box, and taking measured risks because we know that innovation sometimes means
stepping up to the edge. We aren’t afraid of mistakes or failure because each
of those is an opportunity to learn, reconsider and return to fight another day.
As leaders, we encourage our teams to push past what has been done before to
find the next new opportunity for our clients and our company.
We are humble, supportive and strive to bring out the best
in our fellow team members. By approaching each situation with a positive
attitude, assuming positive intent from others, and trusting our peers, we will
create a sphere of influence that encourages openness and trust.
By allowing more people into our conversations and actively
listening to other opinions, we find inspiration and uncover innovation. We
empower our team and our clients to voice concerns, suggestions, criticism, and
praise equally. It is only through open-mindedness and honesty that we can grow
together and explore the many different routes to any solution.
