LeeWard builds operational software that tells the truth about what is happening on the floor — and stays out of the way of the people and machines that already know how to run.
This product is wherewhen (manufacturing MOM). It is a sibling of WardStock, not a rename of WardStock’s home analysis engine (which is also nicknamed wherewhen).
LeeWard home
0.0.0
Plants, lines, and machines; users and roles; work orders and operations; counts, downtime, and classified alarms; quality holds, NCR/CAPA, and electronic signatures; lots, genealogy, and inventory movements — scoped so a person only sees the plants and roles they are assigned.
MOM does not command safety systems or bypass PLC/DCS interlocks.

Ward Bowman has spent 30-plus years building SCADA systems, historians, MES platforms, and some of the earliest IIoT solutions in the industry, across consumer goods, life sciences, and oil and gas. He’s currently at Rockwell Automation, running go-to-market strategy for software solutions. Before that: five and a half years as Senior Director of Product Management at PTC, and seventeen years at GE, where he built a wireless monitoring business years before “IIoT” was a word anyone used, and was later named GE Fanuc Engineer of the Year in 2009.
He served 15 years in the U.S. Army and Massachusetts Army National Guard, in Air Defense Artillery and Combat Engineering, and holds a B.S. in Computer Engineering from UMass Dartmouth.
