FlowWorks Innovation

Innovation

We innovate to stay ahead -
since the start

Curiosity is in our DNA as well as enthusiasm for new technologies and hypes in the industry. We take pride in the numerous ground-breaking innovations that our team has produced since the start, coming up with advanced technologies long ahead of their time, before others could even conceptualize such solutions.

Where we beat the rest

Edge technology

The Flow Edge combines all the advantages of cloud services and an on-premise solution while bypassing the insufficiencies from both – all this while making the overall system more secure, substantially more cost-efficient, faster and more sustainable.

Micro-MAMs

The Flow Ant is a central part of the broader Flow Edge system. It is a powerful micro-server with software fully developed by Flow Works. This small device can perform highly advanced functions for digitally handling your media assets.

GPU-accelerated Transcoding

The Flow Ant comes with inbuilt Intel GPUs, accelerating the video transcoding up to many hundred frames per second, already in FullHD formats. It also accelerates 4k and UHD formats up to over 100 frames per second.

Professional MAM on QNAP NAS devices

The first of its kind, Flow Works has developed a MAM software for QNAP NAS devices, which feature a complete MAM system, including hardware accellerated transcoding for Intel and Nvidia. No additional servers or cloud storage is needed, as well as no additional online services such as collaboration tools.

Next-generation System Architecture

Flow Works employs an agile and flexible MAM system with a hardware accellerated transcoding that takes off workloads from tiny CPUs and RAMs, which is cost-efficient and keeps running also under heavy workloads.

Optimized processing power

Flow Works saves you from making considerable investment in CPUs and RAMs, that usually stand for a large part of the investments companies invest when adopting a professional MAM system. With our innovative solutions you can optimize both your processing power and budget.

We see ourselves as a market challenger. Our focus has always been on revolutionizing Media Asset Management rather than following traditional approaches. In our R&D, we have strived to consistently find more agile and lightweight solutions than what existed on the market at the time. One of our core specialties is system architecture, combined with an understanding of how to make the best use of different system components to generate unprecedented speed, efficiency, and completely new features. We have never followed market norms in R&D but have instead bravely sought solutions to bring our MAM software to smaller entities, providing a cost-efficient solution for customers and making MAM systems available to new types of customer groups. Through cutting-edge pilot projects and a relentless, iterative approach to testing, we have introduced numerous ground-breaking innovations to the market—with the best yet to come. Stay tuned.
