Production Intelligence for SME Manufacturers

Measure today to guarantee tomorrow

AI-powered OEE analytics, waste tracking, and defect detection. Built for manufacturers who want visibility without the enterprise price tag.

The Problem

The Quality Data Gap

PLCs track production volume, cycle times, and downtime — but NOT quality. Without integrated quality data, you cannot compute true OEE, first-pass yield, or run AI that predicts defects.

Paper & Excel Quality Records

Inspection results, defect counts, and scrap data live on clipboards and spreadsheets — disconnected from production systems.

No Real-Time Quality Visibility

Shift supervisors discover quality issues hours or days after they happen. By then, the waste has already occurred.

AI Missing Half the Picture

Machine data alone tells you how fast you ran — not how much was good. Without quality data, AI predictions are incomplete.

What Your PLC Doesn't See

The Solution

Production Intelligence That Sees Everything

Pantheon AI bridges the quality data gap — ingesting your Excel quality records or connecting directly to SQL Server, and joining them with PLC machine data.

OEE Analytics

12-week trends, Availability × Performance × Quality breakdown with real targets.

Waste & Scrap Tracking

Track waste by job, shift, and machine. Heatmaps reveal patterns invisible to the naked eye.

Defect Detection

Pareto analysis of defect types, SPC control limits, and recurring defect identification.

Anomaly Alerts

Rolling z-score detection flags unusual patterns before they become costly problems.

Batch Prediction

Blend live + historical rates to predict batch completion and quality outcomes.

Machine Health

Speed decline detection, downtime analysis by reason code, and maintenance indicators.

How It Works

Three paths to production intelligence — choose the one that fits your setup. All read-only. Non-invasive. Never writes back to your PLCs.
