Operational AI for Modern Manufacturing
B3 connects the systems already running your operation, makes performance visible in real time, and helps your teams investigate issues, understand what changed, and take the next right action.
01 — Connectivity
Connect operational data across PLCs, SCADA, MES, ERP and SAP systems, historians, maintenance and quality systems, sensors, databases, APIs, spreadsheets, and legacy sources.
Start with the systems and data already available in your operation. Expand as your use cases grow.
02 — From fragmented data to operational clarity
Your operation has the signal. The problem is turning it into a coordinated response.
Production data lives in machines and control systems. Maintenance history lives somewhere else. Quality, orders, downtime, shift context, and operator knowledge are spread across systems that were never designed to tell one operational story.
B3 brings that information together so teams spend less time finding and reconciling data—and more time improving performance.
Plant-floor, maintenance, quality, and business data remain separated across tools and teams.
Issues become clear after downtime, quality loss, or production impact has already occurred.
Engineers and managers rebuild the same operational picture from reports, exports, and spreadsheets.
Dashboards show the metric, but teams still need to understand what changed, why it matters, and what to do next.
03 — The B3 Platform
One connected platform turns fragmented manufacturing signals into trusted operational context and practical action.
04 — Connect without rebuilding your operation
Orion connects across control, execution, enterprise, time-series, maintenance, quality, database, API, file-based, and legacy environments. The goal is not to replace every system. It is to give the systems you already rely on a shared operational context.
Connect PLCs, SCADA, sensors, MES, historians, ERP, CMMS, quality systems, databases, APIs, files, and legacy sources.
Support your integration strategy with technologies such as OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus, SQL, and REST APIs.
Align names, timestamps, units, identifiers, and definitions so dashboards and AI are working from trusted information.
Start with one line, asset, workflow, or operational problem, then extend the connected foundation across additional use cases, sites, and systems.
05 — Operational intelligence measured where it matters
Connect machine signals, alarms, production context, and maintenance history to investigate recurring issues faster.
Give teams live visibility into production performance across lines, shifts, products, and sites.
Relate quality results to equipment, materials, process conditions, and operating context.
Replace disconnected summaries with consistent operational definitions and shared performance views.
Help teams understand what changed, evaluate the available context, and determine the next appropriate action.
06 — Connected operational data in practice
A forestry, pulp and paper manufacturer used B3 to bring together historian data, SAP extracts, alarm histories, operator interactions, workflow patterns, and process metrics in a centralized operational intelligence environment. The published case-study library currently highlights a $2.35M+ opportunity from the broader initiative.
07 — Industries
B3 applies the same connected platform model to the systems, KPIs, workflows, and operating challenges of each environment.
08 — The Agentic Digital Factory
The Agentic Digital Factory is the progression from connected data to operational visibility, AI-assisted investigation, and coordinated action.
Orion creates the connected foundation.
Neo maintains the live operational picture.
B3rry helps teams investigate what changed, understand why it matters, and coordinate the response.
This is not a separate product above the platform. It is the future state the B3 Platform is designed to help manufacturers work toward.
Use the Signal-to-Action assessment to identify where disconnected data, delayed visibility, or manual decision-making is creating the greatest operational drag.
Create your B3 experience and explore how connected operational data, real-time visibility, analytics, and AI can work together across one platform.
