What is MicroAI?

MicroAI is an edge-native platform that connects directly to line controls and sensors to monitor cycle-time, stoppages, scrap, and quality drift in real time. It learns your line’s normal behavior, flags anomalies in seconds, and recommends actions to keep takt on target and throughput predictable.

What You Get Out-of-the-Box for Line Monitoring

Live Line Visibility

  • Cycle-time vs takt by station
  • Buffer levels & WIP flow
  • Andon-style line status (RUN/STARVED/BLOCKED)

Automated Downtime Capture

  • Micro-stop and major stop classification
  • Auto-reason suggestions (starved, blocked, changeover, fault)
  • Pareto of stops by station, shift, SKU

Quality & Drift Alerts

  • SPC trend monitoring (CTQ, Cp/Cpk drift)
  • First-pass yield tracking by station
  • Vision/defect signal integration

Throughput & OEE

  • OEE by shift/SKU/line
  • Bottleneck detection & impact on takt
  • Constraint simulation “what-if”

Workflows & Escalations

  • SMS/Teams/Email alerts with SOP links
  • MTTR timers and ownership
  • Incident templates and audit trail

Reports & Exports

  • Shift report (stops, FPY, OEE)
  • Daily/weekly Pareto
  • CSV/REST export to MES/BI

 

Works with Modern and Legacy Equipment

MicroAI integrates with CNC machines, PLCs, robots, presses, furnaces, compressors, conveyors, and more. For older assets, we offer edge adapters to capture the right signals for AI-based predictive maintenance.

Compatible with:

  • Protocols:
    OPC-UA, Modbus, MTConnect, MQTT, REST
  • Controls:
    PLCs (Siemens, Rockwell, Omron), CNCs, robots, cobots, conveyors
  • Sensors:
    vision, current/torque, temp, vibration, barcode/RFID, weigh scales
  • Systems:
    SCADA/MES/ERP (Ignition, SAP PM/ME, Tulip, etc.)
  • Deployments:
    air-gapped on-prem, private cloud, or hybrid edge

MicroAI’s Agentic GenAI solution has fundamentally transformed the way we manage our industrial operations. The solution’s ability to autonomously learn from machine data and adapt in real time has given us a level of observability and control we did not have before. By continuously correlating telemetry across our production lines, it identifies early patterns of inefficiency and proactively recommends adjustments for optimization. In the first 90 days we cut unplanned stops by 28% and lifted throughput 11% by fixing chronic micro-stops on our bottleneck station.

Why Edge-Native
Matters on the Line

  • Sub-second detection for starved/blocked states
  • Resilient to network/cloud outages
  • Keeps sensitive production and quality data on-prem

Clear ROI, Fast Start

Start with one line in under two weeks. Get automated stop capture, takt tracking, and real-time alerts—then scale to every line.

  • Downtime Reduction:
    20–40% fewer micro-stops
  • Throughput Stability:
    5–15% takt adherence lift
  • Quality Uplift:
    10–30% reduction in defects leading to rework
  • MTTR/MTBF:
    Faster response and longer stable runs

FAQ

Q: Is this a CMMS or SCADA?

A: It’s a production line monitoring layer that reads from PLC/SCADA/MES, adds real-time analytics and alerts, and feeds data back to your tools.

Q: How fast can we start?

A: Typical pilot is 1 line in 1–2 weeks using existing tags and sensors.

Q: Do we need new sensors?

A: Often no. We start with PLC tags, add vision or sensors only if a gap exists.

Q: Where does the data live?

A: On-prem or at the edge by default; cloud optional for fleet roll-ups.

Q: What KPIs are standard?

A: OEE • Availability • Performance • Quality • Throughput • Cycle-Time • Takt Adherence • First-Pass Yield • Scrap Rate • Changeover Time • MTBF • MTTR

Q: Does it work with high-mix/low-volume lines?

A: Yes—SKU-aware models adapt takt and cycle-time across changeovers.
