Key Takeaways

Most manufacturers are not short on data. They are short on answers.

The data is already there. It is sitting in historians, SQL databases, SCADA and MES, in separate systems that were never designed to be read together. When someone asks why yield dropped on line three last quarter, or where the energy is actually going, the answer exists somewhere in that data. Getting it out usually takes an engineer, a spreadsheet and a week. That is the gap this session is about.

WHAT WE WILL COVER

  • The problem, and why AI projects in manufacturing fail. The data foundation is where these projects break, rather than the algorithm, which is where people expect them to.
  • An OEE application from automotive production. Not a feature tour. One application worked through on real production data, showing what the plant could not answer before and what the platform surfaces from the data already being collected. The customer is anonymized at their request.
  • A live demonstration, including how Prompt-to-Insights (PTI) connects to plant historians. The platform running in front of you rather than in a slide, and the connectivity question answered directly, because on most sites that is the part that decides whether any of this is practical.
  • How PTI performs against the way this analysis gets done today. A direct comparison rather than a claim.
  • How a customer starts. What a trial looks like, what is involved in finding out whether this works on your data, and what you need to have in place before you begin.
  • Live questions and answers.

 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Plant managers, operations and process engineers, controls and automation engineers, and anyone responsible for reporting, OEE or energy performance on a site that already runs a historian. If you have ever been asked for a number that took three days to produce, this session is aimed at you.

THE PLATFORM

Itanta’s PTI reads across disconnected data sources without replacing them. It connects to the historians, databases and systems already running on site, and it finds correlations across them that are difficult to see with traditional analysis. It is applied here to OEE, energy management, alarm management, process performance monitoring, and broader AI-driven analytics.
