New localized capabilities help manufacturers connect data and monitor process performance in real time across complex global operations

PARIS – July 29, 2026 — Minitab, LLC, a global leader in data collection, predictive analytics, and process improvement solutions, today announced that localized versions of Minitab Connect and Real-Time SPC are now available to customers in English, German, Spanish, French, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Portuguese. 

As part of Minitab’s broader end-to-end data analytics and process improvement platform for global manufacturers, these localized capabilities help global teams connect data and monitor process performance in real time, enabling faster, more confident decisions in local languages.  

For global organizations, localized language access is critical to ensuring that teams across plants, regions, and functions can use consistent analytics capabilities. Expanded language availability helps teams connect, clean, and consolidate data from multiple systems, monitor real-time process performance, and respond quickly to early warning signs and process drift.

By providing operators with live dashboards and alerts in their local language, Minitab helps manufacturers in more than 100 countries identify and resolve issues before they cause costly downtime, errors, scrap, or defective products.

“As manufacturers continue to operate across global teams, plants, and systems, access to timely, accurate data in local languages is critical,” said Jen Roan, Vice President of Software Development at Minitab. “Minitab Connect and Real-Time SPC now provide global manufacturers the ability to standardize on one trusted system across every geography, creating consistency from Germany and Japan to Mexico and the United States.”

Minitab Connect helps organizations automate the collection, cleaning, and consolidation of data from multiple systems into live dashboards. By reducing manual data preparation, teams can spend less time gathering information and more time analyzing results, identifying trends, and taking action.

Real-Time SPC helps manufacturers monitor process performance in real time. Localized dashboards and real-time alerts enable operators to detect early warning signs, identify process drift, and respond before issues affect production quality, efficiency, or cost. 

Together, Minitab Connect and Real-Time SPC strengthen Minitab’s role as an end-to-end analytics and quality improvement solutions provider that helps global manufacturers move from data collection to insight to action, creating measurable business results. By enabling consistent development across global operations, the localized launch helps teams improve visibility, respond more quickly to variation, and scale continuous improvement across sites and regions.

Minitab already provides training and consulting services in local languages, helping organizations build analytical skills and apply data-driven solutions more effectively. Delivered by experienced regional experts, these services combine global best practices with local market knowledge and support.
