About this webinar

Most plants already have the answers, but they are scattered across the MES, the ERP, the digital twin, the SOP binder and the supplier email in a shared mailbox nobody searches. In this webinar, we show how one AI assistant connects all of these sources, using only the access rights the person asking already has.

When an operator asks why fill weights on line 2 dropped after a new batch, the assistant combines the sensor trend, the batch log, the SOP and yesterday's supplier mail into one answer. It separates what is validated from what is experience, and says honestly what it cannot confirm yet. The same foundation helps R&D develop, sales commit, operators produce and technicians maintain.

What we'll cover

  • Why plant knowledge gets stuck between systems, and why search alone does not solve it
  • Under the hood: the ontology layer that gives the assistant a shared understanding of your products, processes, lines and plants
  • Answers you can trust: every claim linked to its source, validated knowledge kept apart from experience, and a clear flag for what is missing
  • Access that follows each user's own rights, so nobody sees more than they already may
  • Four uses on one foundation: developing products, confirming orders, planning changeovers and troubleshooting machines
  • How it is built: your sources, your rules and our base product, customized to your plant, with any model and no lock-in

Who should attend?

Plant and operations managers, production and process engineers, R&D and product development teams, quality managers, maintenance and engineering leads, sales and customer service teams, IT and data leaders in manufacturing, and anyone who has spent an hour chasing an answer that was already sitting in a system, a manual or someone's inbox.
