EXECUTIVE CONTEXT
Manufacturing Is Moving From
Reporting → Execution
Plants already have the data
The challenge is prioritization and speed
Leaders need decisions — not more reports
The next operating model is AI that executes, not just advises.

THE CORE PROBLEM
Why Operational Visibility Is Still Difficult
Disconnected Systems
ERP, MES, quality systems and Excel all disconnected
Maintenance data in a separate CMMS
No single source of operational truth
Different teams using different numbers
Slow & Manual Processes
Manual reporting cycles consume operator time
Root-cause analysis takes days, not minutes
Weekly reviews based on stale data
Reactive firefighting instead of proactive decisions
Operational Blind Spots
No real-time prioritization of constraints
OEE variance unexplained
Downtime causes unknown until after the fact
Yield loss and scrap data not connected to cost impact

OEE Variance
Inventory Mismatch
Throughput Bottlenecks
WHAT MANUFACTURING TEAMS ACTUALLY NEED
Plants Don't Need More Dashboards
They need operational context, prioritization, and execution signals.
1
Operational Context
“What is hurting throughput right now?”
Live plant status across production, maintenance, and quality.
2
Prioritization
“What should we fix first?”
Ranked constraints by operational and financial impact.
3
Financial Impact
“What is the cost of this issue?”
Every operational signal linked to margin and cost data.
4
Execution Signals
“What action should happen now?”
Decision-ready outputs — not reports, not alerts.

INDUSTRY USE CASES
Common Manufacturing Use Cases
PlantSight adapts to the operational priorities of each manufacturing environment.
FOOD & BEVERAGE
OEE and line utilization by SKU
Changeover time and cleaning cycle tracking
Yield variance by formulation and batch
Waste and ingredient cost per unit
High-mix, time-sensitive production environments
AUTOMOTIVE & DISCRETE MANUFACTURING
Constraint analysis across multi-step lines
First-pass yield and rework rates
Downtime by asset and shift
Takt time vs. actual cycle time
High-volume precision assembly and machining
PROCESS MANUFACTURING
Process parameter deviation tracking
Batch-to-batch variability analysis
Energy and utility consumption vs. output
Quality hold and release cycle time
Continuous or batch process environments
DISTRIBUTION & SUPPLY CHAIN
Inventory accuracy and aging by location
OTIF — on-time and in-full performance
Order fulfillment constraint analysis
Inbound material delays vs. production impact
Connected operations from procurement to customer
BEFORE VS. AFTER
Operational Reviews Before vs. After PlantSight
Without PlantSight
Excel Consolidation
Analysts spend hours assembling weekly reports from disconnected sources
Conflicting Numbers
Different teams arrive at reviews with different versions of the data
Reactive Meeting Culture
Meetings diagnose last week's problems — not today's
Slow Root-Cause Analysis
Days to identify what caused a downtime or yield loss event
PLANTSIGHT
With PlantSight
Shared Operational Truth
One version of every KPI — ERP, MES, and quality data unified
Real-Time Prioritization
Constraints ranked by impact before the meeting even starts
Faster Operational Decisions
Leadership reviews shift from diagnosis to decision in real time
Cross-Functional Alignment
Operations, maintenance, quality, and supply chain in sync
WHY THIS MATTERS NOW
The Competitive Shift Is Operational Speed
Operational Leaders
Faster Visibility
Live operational status — not last week's report
Faster Prioritization
Ranked constraints with financial impact — before the meeting
Faster Execution
Decision-ready outputs that drive action the same shift
These plants outperform.
Operational Laggards
Only Report
Data tells the story after the fact — too late to act
Only Digitize
More dashboards — same reactive decisions
Only Automate
Automated alerts without operational context or priority
Falling further behind every quarter.
"AI that executes, not just advises."

IMPLEMENTATION APPROACH
Fast Deployment Without Replacing Existing Systems
PlantSight connects to your existing infrastructure — no rip-and-replace required.
How It Works
Works with existing ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, Dynamics)
Connects to MES and SCADA platforms
Microsoft ecosystem compatible (Azure, Power BI, Teams)
Minimal IT disruption — data connections, not replacements
Scalable from one plant to enterprise-wide
No new hardware required in most deployments.
Connect Systems
ERP, MES, and data source connections
Data mapping and field alignment
Initial KPI definition
Build KPI Model
Operational KPI hierarchy configured
Financial linkage established
Data quality validation
Operational Dashboards
Plant dashboard deployment
Role-based views (Operations, Maintenance, Quality)
User access and training
Review & Optimize
Go-live operational review
Prioritization model tuning
Stakeholder sign-off
CLIENT OUTCOMES
