Key features

Deliver better manufacturing analytics and AI

Manufacturing Data Engine

Manufacturing Data Engine (MDE) is an end-to-end solution that delivers scalable and seamless connectivity between the factory floor and the cloud, in combination with Manufacturing Connect (MC). This foundational solution helps to quickly process, store, and contextualize factory floor data. It can acquire data from any type of machine, supporting a wide range, from telemetry to image data, using a private, secure, and low-cost connection between edge and cloud. With built-in data normalization and context-enrichment capabilities, MDE provides a common data model and a factory-optimized data lakehouse for storage.

Manufacturing Connect

Manufacturing Connect (MC) is a factory edge platform co-developed with Litmus Automation that quickly connects with nearly any manufacturing asset using an extensive library of 270+ supported automation protocols to enable connection with entire factories. It translates machine data into a digestible dataset and sends it to the Manufacturing Data Engine for processing, contextualization, and storage. By supporting containerized workloads, it allows manufacturers to run low-latency data visualization, analytics and AI capabilities directly on the edge.

Cortex Framework

Cortex Framework provides easy-to-deploy data analytics content for simplified data connectivity, processing, and modeling of enterprise (IT) data for key data sources like SAP ERP, Oracle EBS, Salesforce Sales and Marketing Clouds, Meta, Tiktok, Google Ads, Google Marketing Platform and more.

Use case
Connected IT/OT data insights

Use MDE and Cortex Framework solution accelerators to quickly connect IT and OT data and drive cross enterprise intelligence from marketing, to sales and services, to production insights.

Use case
Root cause identification

Quickly identify root causes of quality fluctuations and defects in order to pinpoint beneficial initiatives to increase quality and consistency, eliminate sources of defects, optimize maintenance schedules, improve machine calibration, and offer targeted operator training.

Use case
Machine-level anomaly detection

Tap into a real-time stream of machine sensor data to detect trends and anomalies as they unfold across multiple sensor dimensions such as noise, vibration, and temperature. Rely on TimeSeries Insights API, a fully managed, serverless API service to drive various use cases from root cause analysis to OEE optimization.

Use case
Predictive maintenance

Deploy a solution in weeks without compromising on prediction accuracy using pre-built ML models. Direct integration with Manufacturing Data Engine helps you to tap into live and historic data and empower your own engineers to develop their own pipelines with our pre-built components. You have global visibility and can shift from facility-by-facility maintenance strategies to a global view on machine health.

Use case
In-line quality control

Monitor in-line quality control by aggregating sensor and visual data and simulating parameter changes, combining inspection visual data with in-line sensor data. Leverage imaging data to detect and flag quality issues. Combine it with real-time sensor data to get a view of quality against defined parameters. Use your in-line quality parameter data model and AI tools to model parameter changes and understand the impact on your product quality.
