From a garage in Winamac to a new manufacturing facility in Leiters Ford, BraunAbility's story is a reminder that some of the most impactful innovations start close to home.

WHIN is excited to be working alongside the BraunAbility team through our Innovation-as-a-Service (IaaS) program, helping deploy smart sensor technology that provides real-time visibility into operations as the new facility comes online.

We love opportunities like this to collaborate with local manufacturers, explore new applications for connected technologies, and learn alongside the communities we serve.

This was the main story in our newsletter last month! If you enjoy behind-the-scenes looks at innovation happening across our region, make sure you're subscribed: https://share.hsforms.com/1PXFkxBftSsi2nsVAN17I4g2yy0c

WHIN's Josh Karshen enjoyed spending the morning at the Big Pine Creek Field Day in Fowler, Indiana!

With about 65 attendees, the event brought together farmers, industry leaders, and AgTech innovators for a morning of learning and conversation.

Attendees also heard from keynote speaker Don Lamb, Director of the Indiana State Department of Agriculture, who shared updates on Indiana's agricultural economy and industry outlook.

Thank you to the organizers, speakers, and attendees for a great day of learning, collaboration, and innovation.

Tiny rows. Big season ahead. 🌱 Rows are turning green, fields are coming to life, and it’s exciting to watch the 2026 growing season begin across our communities!

We’re thankful for the farmers in the Alliance and all the hard work they’re putting in to get another season underway.

WHIN visited a local manufacturer to install differential pressure sensors monitoring pressure drop across industrial air filters in their high-velocity air handling system. The sensors trigger alerts when filters approach end-of-life, enabling maintenance teams to replace them precisely when needed -protecting target airflow, minimizing unplanned downtime, and eliminating the waste of calendar-based replacement schedules.

John Karrfalt was out in the field at an Ag Alliance member's farm earlier this month installing CO₂ sensors in grain bins - just a reminder that WHIN’s Innovation as a Service is for farmers, too! From grain bins to school freezers, we’re helping communities put real-time data to work where it matters most.

From Tech Showcase to shop floor...

WHIN joined a scope-setting tour at the Jamestown FTIC plant with Telabotics last week. This is exactly the kind of impact we aim for: local manufacturers connecting with vetted tech partners, asking questions, and discovering high-value automation for their operations. Interactions like this are designed to keep Indiana manufacturing at the forefront of data transformation, from IoT to AI-supported workforce.
