ASK YOUR PLANT

Your plant, in plain English

Stop digging through dashboards. Your team asks questions in the language they already use: "why is line 3 slower today?", "which plant had the worst OEE last week?", "show me pump current just before the outage." Answers come back with the audit trail attached.

THREE THINGS THE ASSISTANT DOES

What you get, not what it's built on.

Three capabilities that turn plant data into answers your team can act on.

01

See every plant, on your terms

Bring your DCS, PLCs, and sensors into one clear view — every plant, every line, every shift. Deploy on the plant floor, on a server you own, or on your private cloud. Standard protocols end to end: OPC-UA, Modbus, S7, MQTT.

A full line in about a week. Nothing on the plant floor changes.

02

Ask your plant in plain English

Your team asks questions the way they'd ask in a shift-review meeting. The assistant reads your plant history and every change across the fleet, and answers with the reasoning trail.

Same experience whether the AI is Claude / GPT (quick integration) or self-hosted on a server you own.

03

Prove it, don't just report it

Every setpoint, deploy, config edit, and question asked stamps the audit chain with who, when, and what. Auditors verify independently.

Compliance-ready reports for energy, CCTS, ISO, downtime, and OEE. Export as CSV, PDF, or straight into ERP or BI.

WHAT IT IS READING

The answers are only as good as what sits underneath.

An assistant bolted onto raw tag history can fetch you a number. It cannot tell you what that number cost, why it moved, or whether the fix worked. Underneath this one is an Operational Intelligence layer that already did that work.

01

Losses, ranked by what they cost

Unplanned downtime, slow running, scrap, energy drawn against baseline: every loss across the plant on one list, biggest first, in whatever currency you run on. So “which line hurt most last month” has an answer before anyone asks it.

02

Every line, against its own baseline

Each line's variance from the baseline it should be holding, side by side across the site. The outlier is not an opinion in a meeting — it is the bar that sticks out, and an engineer gets the comparison instead of an afternoon in a spreadsheet.

03

What you spent per unit you made

Line 2 drew 4,400 kWh and produced 1,400 units. At its baseline it should have drawn 3,900, so 500 is excess — and some of that went while the machine was sitting idle, producing nothing at all. Same arithmetic for water in m³, or air, or kg CO₂e.

The assistant reads all of it, scoped to whoever is asking. More on the intelligence layer.

How EdgeBits fits together: nodes on the plant floor read the machines and feed both the reports your managers open and the screen you run the fleet from. On top, anyone can ask questions in plain English. Every change is recorded in a trail you can export.

Your machines, your data, your fleet — and one place to ask about any of it. Every change witnessed by an audit trail you can export.

ROLE-SCOPED BY IDENTITY

Same assistant. Different scope.

Owner sees every plant. Plant manager sees theirs. Operator sees their line. The system knows who's asking and only shows what they're supposed to see — enforced on the server, not just hidden in the screen.

Owner / MD

All plants. Federated roll-up. Raw data stays at the plants.

"Which of my five plants had the highest energy cost per unit last month?"
"Rank all plants by OEE for shift B last week."
"Why is Pune worse than Chennai? Which line dragged it down?"

Plant manager

Their plant only. Data from other plants is not returned.

"Which line had the most downtime this shift?"
"How is line 3 today compared to last Tuesday same shift?"
"Show me pump current just before the 3:47 AM drop."

Operator / shift eng

Their line or area. Live values, current alarms, immediate history.

"What's causing the alarm on reactor 2?"
"Show me the last 15 minutes on FT-101 as a chart."
"Which sensors are worst on quality right now?"
TPM VOICE

Running a TPM program? The assistant speaks it natively.

Ask for Six Big Losses breakdown, A × P × Q split by shift, Top Loss on any line, Component Log entries, reason-code accuracy — in the vocabulary your Kaizen team already uses.

AI CHOICE, NOT AI LOCK-IN

Cloud AI or self-hosted. You pick.

The assistant connects to AI models through an open standard, so any current or future model plugs in. Change your mind later? Swap the model. Nothing else changes — and you are never locked to one AI vendor.

Claude / GPT

Quick integration. Fastest to set up.

  • Battle-tested reasoning
  • Priced per query
  • Data leaves your site only on ask
  • Good default when data-localisation isn't a constraint
