Run operations on
one live number

Output sits in MES, cost sits in ERP, service sits in logistics, and none of them agree. SCIKIQ unifies them into governed operational 360s — so you see what moved, why, and what to do before the next shift.

What the operations sees
on a Monday morning

One governed brief instead of nine dashboards — every number traced to its source system, every recommendation showing its reasoning.

Today’s brief

Network service level is 2.4 points above target for the first time this quarter.

Output improved after the Pune line changeover, and unplanned downtime fell for the fourth week running. One EU lane is still slipping and is the main drag on service.

If only one decision is made today, reallocating inventory ahead of the EU lane is expected to protect the most service.

AI reasoning — why reallocate?
  • EU lane transit is 2.1 days beyond the service threshold
  • Regional buffer covers the gap without an expedite cost
  • The alternate supplier already holds qualified stock
  • 31 comparable reallocations avoided a service miss in 29 cases

Recommendation Reallocate today.

02The problem

What the COO actually deals with

Every site reports differently

OEE means one thing at one plant and something else at another, so cross-site comparison is guesswork.

You find out after the fact

Downtime, scrap and service misses surface in a weekly report, long after the shift where they could have been recovered.

Cost and service are argued, not measured

Operations and finance work from separate extracts, so the trade-off conversation has no shared basis.

03What changes

One governed view,
and four things follow

01

Unify the operational estate

MES, historians, ERP, planning and logistics connect in place through 187+ connectors — no rip-and-replace of plant systems.

02

Agree the definitions

OEE, service level and landed cost get one governed definition, so every site and every function is measured the same way.

03

See cause, not just effect

The knowledge graph encodes how lines, assets, lanes and orders relate, so a copilot can answer why a number moved, with lineage.

04

Act inside the shift

Agents reallocate inventory, raise urgent POs and flag anomalies on their own, with every action logged and auditable.

04What it runs on

Built on Factory 360

This role runs on Factory 360 — output, downtime risk and OEE — assembled over your existing systems with no replatform.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from our existing MES or BI dashboards?

Dashboards report what each system already believes. SCIKIQ resolves entities across those systems first, so output, cost and service are measured against one governed definition and can be compared across sites.

Can operations act on it, or is it reporting only?

Agents act within defined limits, reallocating inventory, raising urgent purchase orders and flagging anomalies, with a human in the loop for anything irreversible and every action logged.

How long before a plant is live?

Typical deployments reach a live 360 view in about 60 days. Most operations teams start with one plant or line and expand once the numbers match what the team already trusts.
