Sight Machine ingests data from industrial equipment, MES, ERP, and quality systems to provide AI-driven production insights. Process parameter optimisation uses ML to identify which manufacturing settings (temperature, speed, pressure) produce best quality outcomes from historical production data. Quality analytics tracks defect rates and correlates failures with process parameters for root cause analysis. OEE analytics provide real-time analysis of availability, performance, and quality — identifying underperforming equipment and production factors. Integration with SCADA, PLCs, and industrial historians enables analytics across legacy systems without replacement. Corning, Heineken, and Michelin validate across glass, beverage, and tyre manufacturing.
Sight Machine AI runs as ml platform software built around data workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web and api.
