Scenarios

Agents take it on, your production gains.

Each scenario starts from a ready-made flow that you adapt to your lines and systems.

Predictive maintenance

Maintenance, one step ahead

When vibration rises, the agent finds the cause, proposes a lower speed and opens the work order.

Flow · Predictive maintenance
Predictive maintenance flow in Studio: Press 2 vibration signal, last 30 days of downtime, maintenance procedure, maintenance agent, decision schema, set-point policy, shift lead approval, OPC UA speed setting, CMMS work order and ERP spare part reservation
  1. 01The vibration limit is exceeded
  2. 02Downtime history and procedure are reviewed
  3. 03The agent proposes a lower speed
  4. 04The speed change needs approval
  5. 05The shift lead approves
  6. 06The new speed is written to the machine
  7. 07A work order opens, a part is reserved
  1. Today

    By the time a vibration alarm is noticed, the machine is often about to stop, and manuals and past records are searched by hand.

  2. With Indestera

    The agent reviews downtime history and the maintenance procedure and proposes a lower speed; once the shift lead approves, it sets the speed and opens the work order.

  3. Result

    Line availability rises, and maintenance happens on your plan, at your time.

Press 2 speed reduction approval in Engage: machine, vibration and limit, likely cause, confidence, current and proposed speed, evidence and decision note

Visual quality

Every product leaves with assured quality

A camera inspects every product; doubtful ones go to an operator for a decision.

Downtime management

The plan keeps pace with the floor

A stop reported by the operator updates the order sequence and the maintenance work order together.

  3. Result

    Planning and maintenance act at the same time, and your delivery dates hold.

Engage operator terminal: stopped machine, time in state, shift OEE, stops awaiting a reason, downtime reason selection and recent periods

Spare parts

Critical spares, always on the shelf

When stock falls below the minimum, the agent compares quotes and prepares the order.
