For plants and manufacturing — optimise OEE, inventory and quality in real time

For plants and manufacturing

Optimise OEE, inventory and quality in real time

Connect machinery, digitalise production management and unify it with ERP on one AI-native platform — seeing and optimising every machine and every work order, with less downtime and fewer quality defects.

The challenges facing a plant

Machines are not connected

No real-time visibility of equipment effectiveness (OEE) or downtime; decisions are made on stale figures.

Planning, production and inventory are out of step

Insufficient synchronisation between orders, plans, production and stock, leading to surplus or shortage of materials.

Quality and traceability are difficult

Hard to establish the cause of a defect, trace a lot back to source, or control scrap.

Maintenance is reactive

Repairing only once a machine has failed causes sudden stoppages and high cost.

How DBIZ addresses this

How the DBIZ AI-native platform applies specifically to the plant — from machine connectivity and production management through to AI-driven predictive maintenance.

Real-time production management with MES

Monitoring of OEE, work orders, progress and the performance of each machine, with electronic operation tickets and shift reporting.

IoT connectivity and machine data capture

IoT devices capture machine parameters (speed, temperature, vibration, consumption) in real time — including on older equipment.

AI-driven predictive maintenance

AI agents analyse machine data, predict failures and schedule maintenance before a stoppage occurs, reducing downtime.

Planning, production, inventory and purchasing unified

ERP synchronises demand, material planning (MRP), work orders, inventory and purchasing in a single system.

Quality management and lot traceability

QC control at each production stage, end-to-end traceability, rapid isolation of defects and reduced scrap.

Energy and consumption optimisation

Monitoring energy consumption by machine and by stage, to cut cost and emissions.

A production and product development control dashboard
MES · Operations

A production and product development control dashboard

Project KPIs, formulations awaiting approval and compliance levels, together with an action and alert centre — the full picture, and the right priority handled first.

Real-time HACCP/CCP monitoring
MES · Quality

Real-time HACCP/CCP monitoring

Critical control points (temperature, process parameters) tracked in real time, with alerts when thresholds are exceeded — assuring safety, quality and compliance while reducing scrap.

Releasing formulations and BOMs to production
MES · Production

Releasing formulations and BOMs to production

Readiness, formulation, bill of materials and routing are verified before release — moving from R&D to production accurately, with no discrepancy.

Product catalogue and lifecycle
MES · PLM

Product catalogue and lifecycle

Centralised management of products, versions and lifecycle status — standardising product data end to end across the plant.

About the figures on this page

The percentages above are industry reference levels — the range of impact international research bodies have recorded where organisations automate processes with AI: McKinsey Global Institute (2017) estimates that around half of today’s work activities are technically automatable; McKinsey & Company (2018) assesses that 42% of finance activities can be fully automated and a further 19% mostly automated with currently demonstrated technology; Brynjolfsson, Li & Raymond — NBER (2023) found a generative AI assistant raised customer-support productivity by 14% on average, and by 34% among newer staff. These are not measurements taken at any specific organisation and are not a performance commitment; actual results vary with deployment scope, data readiness and the current state of each organisation’s operations. Figures DBIZ has measured in the field are published separately together with the measurement method — see AP Agent — figures measured in the field. DBIZ commits to specific targets for each client after the assessment phase.
