Intelligent Operations Platform

A reference architecture for unifying plant telemetry, work orders and quality records behind one operational data model, with model-assisted triage layered on top.

In-house demonstration

This is an illustrative example of the kind of work we do, not a client engagement. The scenario is written to make the engineering decisions legible; the outcomes below describe what the system was designed to do, not verified client metrics.

Challenge

The constraint we designed against.

Operational reality is usually spread across a historian, an ERP, a maintenance system and a decade of spreadsheets. Each answers a different question in a different vocabulary, so a supervisor reconstructs the state of the plant by hand every morning. Any analytics layer built directly on those sources inherits four incompatible definitions of an asset, a shift and a defect, and the first disagreement about a number ends the project.

Solution

What we built, and why it is shaped this way.

The work starts with a canonical operational model — asset, run, event, disposition — and an ingestion layer that maps each source system into it, keeping the raw payload for audit. Streams land in an append-only event store; derived state is rebuilt from it rather than mutated in place, so a mapping bug is a replay rather than a data-loss incident. On top sits a triage service that clusters events, attaches the relevant history, and proposes a disposition with its evidence. A supervisor confirms or overrides, and every override is retained as labelled training and evaluation data.

Outcome

What the build achieves.

Illustrative outcomes from the demonstration environment. They describe the behaviour the design targets — they are not measured client results.

Operational vocabulary
One canonical model across four source systems

Engineering outcome of the design. Illustrative reference architecture, not a measured client result.

Auditability
Every derived figure traceable to a raw source event

Property of the append-only event store.

Model governance
Human confirmation on every disposition, overrides retained as evaluation data

Design constraint, not a performance claim.

Triage latency
Sub-minute event to proposed disposition

Design target for the reference architecture; not measured in a client environment.

Demonstration figures — design intent, not client-verified
