To stay competitive, manufacturers rely on streaming data for predictive maintenance, digital twins, quality control, and testing. But many struggle to operationalize this data, blocked by fragmented infrastructure, security vulnerabilities, and poor data quality. 

Without governed, trusted real-time data, advanced use cases like AI, analytics, and IIoT remain out of reach. Teams are overwhelmed, leading to underperforming models, missed opportunities, and unutilized insights locked within data.

That’s why Conduktor is partnering with LHP Engineering Solutions, a pioneering solutions integrator and technology provider in automotive and aerospace manufacturing. 

A strategic partnership for the future of industrial data

Founded in 2001, LHP empowers original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to implement and adapt best practices for safety, testing, cybersecurity, data analytics, and recruiting. Today, LHP helps customers chart new paths, exploring emerging technologies such as electric and autonomous vehicles, reinforcing key fundamentals in sectors such as safety, and integrating cutting-edge technologies into existing tech stacks. 

Through this partnership, automotive and aerospace OEMs gain access to Conduktor’s cutting edge data hub, paired with LHP’s specialized products and technical support services. Customers can:

• Securely manage their Kafka data infrastructure

• Utilize a unified, vendor-agnostic experience for teams, without lock-in

• Ensure the availability, trustworthiness, and compliance of real-time data 

• Accelerate time-to-value for AI, analytics, IoT, and decision-making 

What Conduktor brings to this partnership

Conduktor empowers platform and engineering teams to unlock value from their real-time data through an enterprise-grade data hub, including:

• Conduktor Shield: Secure Kafka data across factory and cloud environments with encryption, standardization, chaos testing, and failover.

• Conduktor Scale: Equip engineering teams with the tools to explore, manage, and govern Kafka data—and to ensure visibility, compliance, and innovation at scale. 

• Conduktor Exchange: Share Kafka data with external partners (such as contractors, vendors, and suppliers) and customers to improve operational efficiencies and unlock new revenue opportunities. 

• Conduktor Trust: Enforce data quality by blocking inconsistent or misformatted data from infecting downstream applications such as AI, analytics, and digital twins.

"The Conduktor team is excited to partner with LHP Engineering Solutions to support global manufacturers looking to innovate with their real-time data,” explains Matthew Scott, Conduktor’s Head of Strategic Partnerships and Channels. “Our goal at Conduktor is to bring professional services and software partnerships to the market that can align with the strategic goals and initiatives of our customers.

“LHP brings deep software engineering expertise in manufacturing, helping customers gain a competitive edge and innovate at scale,” Scott continues. “Combined with Conduktor’s governance hub for securing, validating, and governing streaming data, we are thrilled to support joint customer demand and success.”

A proven record of achievement in manufacturing

Conduktor supports world-class manufacturers including Airbus, AGCO, Honda America, Siemens, and other large automotive and aerospace organizations worldwide. 

“This partnership with Conduktor represents a major leap forward in our mission to deliver next-generation, data-first solutions to industrial clients,” says James Roberts, LHP’s President. “We’re incredibly excited to integrate Conduktor’s Kafka-native technology into our IoT ecosystem. This collaboration enhances how users collect, visualize, and act on data across their enterprise securely, in real time, and at scale.”
