AI-Powered Production Insights

We use advanced AI to build analytics around your operation, from customer-specific dashboards to machine-learning models that analyze real-time and historical production data. Identify patterns, spot anomalies, and connect production, OEE, and quality in a view your team can act on.

Where your application and data support forecasting, predictive analytics help your team anticipate issues and plan ahead.

AI Insights in Action

Find repeat losses, investigate quality changes, and compare ways to keep orders on time.

Sample shift · Illustrative scenarios

Recurring downtime

Small stops. A bigger pattern.

Press P-04

36minutes lost

The same feed-alignment stop occurred 3 times, accounting for 360 units of lost capacity.

Compare a next step

Inspect feed alignment with the operator. Compare preventing half of the repeat-stop time.

What-if impact

+180units of capacity

18 minutes recovered at 10 units per minute.

Quality drift

Catch a shift in quality.

Molding M-02

94%yield after a lot change

Yield fell from 98% after LOT-B24 entered production. The timing points to a hypothesis to investigate.

Compare a next step

Review the material lot and machine settings with quality. Compare a return to baseline yield.

What-if impact

+48good units

98% yield on an equivalent 1,200-unit run.

Delivery risk

Find a way to finish on time.

Order WO-1048

17:00projected finish

1,200 units remain at 12:00. At the current rate, this order finishes 60 minutes after its 16:00 due time.

Compare a next step

Compare moving 480 units to compatible spare center Assembly A-03, including setup time.

What-if impact

15:00what-if finish

120 minutes earlier, with 60 minutes before the due time.

See What Drives Your OEE

Understand true performance across production lines and shifts. Beacon aggregates Flow data into real-time OEE calculations, downtime analysis, and throughput trends with drill-down capabilities.

Real-Time Dashboards

Live OEE monitoring, production metrics, and performance indicators that update automatically as your operations run.

Trend Analysis

Explore real-time and historical production data through visualizations that reveal patterns, bottlenecks, and opportunities for improvement.

KPI Tracking

Compare planned vs. actual performance across the metrics that matter to your manufacturing operations.

Production efficiency, downtime, and throughput in one view.

Digital Twins

Bring real-time machine metrics into a view of your operation. Beacon supports digital twins in 2D or 3D, collecting and exposing equipment data in the format that works best for your team.

2D Line & work-area views
  • Machine status
  • Production counts
  • Cycle times

Read the line at a glance.

Use a clear 2D layout to see status and metrics across a production line or work area. Put the information beside the equipment it comes from, so your team can see where attention is needed.

3D Equipment & spatial views
  • Temperature
  • Speed
  • Equipment status

Put metrics on the machine.

Use a 3D equipment view when physical context helps explain the data. Expose real-time metrics alongside the relevant machine or component, with the level of detail your users need.

Illustrative views. The metrics shown in your digital twin depend on your connected equipment and application.

Connect Quality, Production & Delivery

Bring production conditions, quality results, and schedule performance together so your team can see where to focus.

Quality Metrics

Beacon combines quality data from Verify with production metrics to identify correlations and investigate quality changes, with predictive analysis where applicable.

Connect quality trends to production conditions to support proactive quality management and reduce scrap.

Schedule Adherence

Track actual production against planned schedules from Align. Visual dashboards compare planned vs. actual production timing, highlighting deviations and helping teams stay on track.

See production delays in context and focus attention where the plan is slipping.

Run Analytics Inside Your Network

Analytics code and machine-learning models can run entirely on your infrastructure, so production records stay inside your network. Once deployed, these analytics run independently of the external AI tools used to help build them.

AI-Assisted Development, Clear Data Boundaries

External AI coding tools are part of our development process. We use them with schema information—the structure and relationships in your data—without sending production records.

We align production-data access and processing with your AI policies, and make our AI-assisted development approach clear during planning.
