FAC-AI — CONNECTED FACTORY INTELLIGENCE

The Intelligence Layer
for Your Factory

Fac-AI connects your IoT sensors, ERP/SAP systems, cameras, and machines into one AI-powered brain. Real-time decisions at every level — from operator to owner.

What Fac-AI Does

Fac-AI is not another dashboard. It's the intelligence layer that sits between your factory floor and your boardroom — speaking to every device, every system, every data source.

1

Multi-Source Data Integration

Connects IoT sensors, SCADA/PLC, ERP/SAP, camera feeds, and machine data into a unified intelligence pipeline. No more siloed data.

2

Real-Time Factory Decisions

AI processes signals from every source and delivers actionable insights to operators, supervisors, and managers — in real time, not in yesterday's report.

3

Financial Intelligence

Every machine signal carries a rupee value. See CPLD per machine, fabric profitability, operator performance, and customer-level P&L — live from your ERP.

4

AI That Learns Your Factory

Self-improving models trained on YOUR production data. Month 12 is measurably smarter than Month 1. The AI learns your machines, your operators, your patterns.

Three Levels of Intelligence

Each level builds on the one before — more data sources, deeper insights, smarter decisions.

Level 1

Floor Intelligence

Data: IoT only  |  For: Operator, Supervisor, Maintenance

  • Real-time machine monitoring and stop classification
  • Pattern detection across shifts
  • Operator dashboard — machines ranked by urgency
  • Supervisor dashboard — fleet efficiency and escalation triggers
  • Maintenance dashboard — inspection queue and preventive scheduling
Level 2

Financial Intelligence

Data: IoT + SAP  |  For: + General Manager

  • CPLD per machine — every alert carries a rupee value
  • Fabric profitability ranking
  • Operator performance scoring
  • GM dashboard — BEP tracker, shift comparisons, CPLD trends
Level 3

Business Intelligence

Data: IoT + SAP + AI  |  For: + CFO, Owner/MD

  • AI-driven pricing signals and reallocation scenarios
  • Supplier scorecard and training ROI measurement
  • CFO dashboard — customer profitability, loss analytics
  • Owner/MD dashboard — factory health score, AI performance, strategic recommendations
  • Accessible from anywhere

Who Sees What

Every role gets the intelligence they need to act — no noise, no clutter, just decisions.

Operator

Machines ranked by urgency, clear actions: Go Now / Attend / Monitor. No guesswork on the floor.

Supervisor

Pattern detection across shifts, fleet efficiency tracking, escalation triggers when patterns persist.

Maintenance

Inspection queue ranked by priority, persistent issue tracking, preventive scheduling based on real data.

General Manager

CPLD trends, fabric profitability, BEP tracker, shift comparisons — financial intelligence from the floor.

CFO

Customer profitability, pricing signals, loss analytics, reallocation scenarios — production data meets financial strategy.

Owner / MD

Factory health score, AI performance metrics, strategic recommendations — accessible from anywhere, any device.

Frequently asked questions about Fac-AI

What is Connected Factory Intelligence, in practical terms?

It is the live decision layer above your MES and ERP. Fac-AI reads from existing cameras, PLCs, MES and ERP through their published interfaces and reconciles what they are saying in real time. The result is a single live picture of the plant that the operator, supervisor, plant manager, GM and CFO each see in the way that is useful for their job. No rip-and-replace of the existing stack.

How is Fac-AI different from MES?

MES is a system of record — honest about what was logged. Fac-AI is a system of signal — honest about what is happening on the floor right now. MES tells you what happened by the end of the shift; Fac-AI tells you what is happening in the next thirty seconds. You need both. They feed each other.

Does Fac-AI replace our SAP / Oracle / Plex / Aveva MES?

No. It runs alongside them. SAP / Oracle stays your system of record for finance and inventory. Your MES stays the system of record for production orders and traceability. Fac-AI adds the real-time observation layer those systems were never designed to provide, and feeds cleaner data back into both.

Does the video need to leave our factory?

No. Inference runs on an on-premise edge server. Raw video stays on-site. Only event metadata is stored centrally. This is the architecture that makes GDPR, UK Data Protection Act and Australian Privacy Principles conversations short rather than long.

What kind of factories benefit most?

Any continuous or semi-continuous manufacturing operation with three things: high speed of production, an MES or ERP already in place, and existing cameras and sensors that are under-utilised. Discrete manufacturing, process industries, textile, packaging, food, automotive components, pharma, paper, glass and electronics assembly all qualify.

How long until our first line is live?

For the first line: typically about a week of deployment for the edge server, ingestion of existing camera streams, MES integration and dashboard configuration. Useful alerts on day one. Tuning the per-zone rules and alert thresholds takes the first 30-60 days — that is real engineering work, not a setup wizard.
