Nymi Partners with ThinManager and Joins the Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork for End-User Authentication in Highly Regulated Plant Floor Environments
Toronto, Ontario, CANADA – November 13, 2020 – Nymi, Inc. and ThinManager®, a Rockwell Automation technology, have partnered to provide a full-feature, integrated, on-body solution that allows businesses to use ThinManager to deliver biometric-enabled touchless authentication with zero-trust security principles and access controls through the Nymi Band™. Nymi, a Rockwell Automation Encompass™ Partner, will showcase the collaboration at the Rockwell Automation At Home Fair on November 16-20.
ThinManager offers numerous features that allow the modern factory to lower energy cost, implement sustainable technology, and increase operational efficiencies. They are a natural fit for Nymi and its workplace wearable wristband, designed to help businesses remain secure while improving productivity, compliance, and active worker health and safety.
As the world’s only workplace wearable wristband that, once authenticated at login, continuously authenticates the user’s identity until it’s removed from the wrist, the Nymi Band gives ThinManager users a powerful, secure form of authentication used for specially configured access control, logins, and e-signatures with just a tap. Other Nymi Band applications include social distancing and contact tracing.
“We see our product working side by side with ThinManager to help companies be secure, safe, and efficient in their day to day operations,” said Andrew Foxcroft, Vice President of Nymi. “The enterprise-class, secure industrial wearable Nymi Band, combined with ThinManager’s knowledge of the modern factory, provides a solution to address pain points in Pharma and highly regulated manufacturing processes."
“We are very excited to collaborate with Nymi to provide additional cutting-edge user authentication options for our customers,” stated Tom Jordan, Marketing Lead for ThinManager.
Rockwell Automation is a unique platform that offers powerful centralized solutions for the modern factory. ThinManager simplifies management of applications and visual resources while providing enterprise authentication that delivers data integrity and security, allowing highly regulated industries to achieve compliance and productivity.

I find the concept of continuous biometric authentication particularly interesting because it can reduce friction for workers while maintaining strong access controls. Integrating secure wearables with factory management systems is a practical example of how technology can improve productivity without sacrificing safety. Although EaglerCraft is associated with browser-based gaming rather than industrial software, I enjoy seeing how innovation is transforming very different fields through creative solutions.
Whether you have five minutes or an entire afternoon, Crossy Road delivers quick sessions packed with unpredictable challenges, charming pixel graphics, and endless roads that encourage you to improve your timing, beat your previous score, and unlock quirky characters that make every run feel completely different.
It's interesting to see how Nymi and ThinManager are improving workplace security with continuous authentication and smart technology. After reading innovations like this, I enjoy playing bitlife which is a life simulation game where every choice creates a unique story and keeps me thinking differently.
Reading about the Nymi Band continuously authenticating users until removed really caught my eye-it’s like a high-security swap face for factory floors, combined with ThinManager’s features for energy savings.
ThinManager provides a multitude of features that enable modern factories to reduce their energy costs, deploy environmentally dino game friendly technology, and improve their operational efficiencies among other benefits.
