Process Intelligence & Automation

Automation that understands the process first

Traditional business process automation runs a predefined workflow when a threshold trips. DMI investigates what is actually happening on the line, recommends a response, and orchestrates the action your team approves.

Three capabilities, one platform

Analyze, investigate, then act

DMI combines process analysis, process intelligence and process automation, so every automated step is backed by evidence about your plant.

1 · Business Process Analysis

  • Discover manufacturing processes from operational data
  • Construct the process graph
  • Identify bottlenecks, quality issues and production inefficiencies
  • Calculate the financial impact

2 · Business Process Intelligence

  • Distributed small language models investigate manufacturing events
  • Correlate machines, production lines and business systems
  • Identify root causes
  • Recommend corrective actions

3 · Business Process Automation

  • Initiate maintenance requests
  • Trigger quality investigations
  • Generate production optimization recommendations
  • Run them as DMI work orders, Teams posts or Power Automate flows
  • Execute approved corrective actions
Example

A filling line loses 15% of its throughput

The same event, handled two ways.

Traditional BPA

A predefined threshold is exceeded, so the system raises an alert or opens a work order. Someone still has to work out why throughput dropped, what it is costing and what to change.

Threshold triggers an alert Threshold hit Alert / ticket ? manual follow-up

DMI-enabled BPA

  1. Detects the throughput reduction.
  2. Investigates equipment and process data.
  3. Identifies an upstream temperature variation.
  4. Determines that the variation is affecting filling performance.
  5. Calculates the financial impact.
  6. Recommends a corrective action.
  7. Initiates an approved maintenance work order: in DMI, in a Teams channel, or through a Power Automate flow.
  8. Measures whether the corrective action restored performance.
The progression

From discovery to continuous optimization

Each stage builds on the one before it. Automation sits on top of a process DMI already understands, so it can act on causes rather than symptoms.

Why it matters

Built for manufacturers without a full MES stack

Small and mid-sized manufacturers rarely have sophisticated MES and manufacturing analytics. DMI gives them process discovery, investigation and automation in one plant-local platform.

  • Human in the loop: DMI recommends; your team approves before anything runs.
  • Works with the tools you have: approved actions run as DMI work orders, post to a Microsoft Teams channel, or start a Power Automate flow that can reach Planner, SharePoint or your ticketing tool. Native MES, ERP, CMMS and QMS connectors are future integrations.
  • Closed loop: every action is checked afterwards to confirm performance came back.
  • Plant-local: investigation and decisions run inside your facility.
Closed loop: detect, investigate, recommend, approve, act, verify DMI closed loop Detect Investigate Recommend Approve Act: Teams / flow Verify

Have a line that keeps losing throughput?

We'll show how DMI would investigate it and what it would recommend.
