Problems we solve · How we solve them

Better quality and productivity, from the data you already have

Stored data doesn't improve anything on its own. The goal is better quality and higher productivity: knowing whether the process changed, whether it can hold spec, and where each lost hour went.

Where plants lose time, and what DMI does about it

✕ Investigations take days

Engineers export data from several systems and line it up by hand to explain a single deviation.

✓ Root cause in minutes

DMI correlates signals, alarms, batches, maintenance and quality records automatically and walks the process upstream to find where the change started.

✕ Tampering with stable processes

Operators react to every movement on a trend, which adds variation and creates new problems.

✓ Signal vs. noise

Built-in statistical process control separates special-cause events from common-cause variation, so teams act only when the process has actually changed.

✕ OEE without explanation

One OEE number can't tell the crew whether the loss came from downtime, slow running or off-spec product.

✓ Loss broken down by cause

DMI splits OEE into availability, performance and quality, tied to the process stage and asset, so effort goes to the biggest loss.

✕ Knowledge walks out the door

Troubleshooting expertise sits in experienced staff and in manuals that nobody can find when they need them.

✓ Knowledge on demand

DMI's assistant answers plain-language questions using live process context and cites the relevant SOP or manual passage.

✕ Inconsistent names across sites

The same signal has a different name on every line and at every site, so plants can't be compared.

✓ Unified namespace

DMI builds one reviewed, ISA-95-aligned naming structure (enterprise, site, area, cell, signal) without moving the underlying data.

✕ Cloud isn't an option

IP, regulatory, security or connectivity constraints rule out sending plant data off site.

✓ Sovereign, plant-local AI

Core analysis and the AI model run inside your facility. You decide what, if anything, goes to the cloud.

How it works

Four steps from raw data to confident action

Step 1 · Connect & discover

Find what's already there

DMI discovers databases, tables, tags and metadata across your plant systems and sites. It reads structure and context only, and the data stays where it is.

Unified namespace tree Enterprise Site Site Area Area Cell Signal Signal Signal
Step 2 · Contextualize

One map of your operation

DMI proposes a unified namespace and your team reviews and approves it. From that, DMI identifies your process type and builds an ISA-95 process graph that shows how every stage connects to the next.

Step 3 · Analyze

Follow the process to the cause

Control charts flag special-cause events. Root-cause analysis then walks the process graph upstream to find which signals moved first, and correlates them with production, maintenance and quality context.

Step 4 · Act

Evidence-backed recommendations

Anyone on the team can ask a question in plain language. DMI answers with the evidence, the relevant documentation and recommended next steps. Alerts watch for the issue coming back, and your people stay in control of every decision.

Outcomes

What changes for your team

Faster investigations

Hours of manual data gathering become a guided, evidence-based analysis.

Less scrap & rework

Real process changes are caught earlier, before they turn into off-spec product.

More uptime

Maintenance and reliability teams see the patterns that lead up to trips and failures.

Knowledge that stays

Expertise from your people and documents is available to every shift.
