OPERATIONAL CONTEXT GRAPH

A live model of how production works.

An operational context graph is a live, governed model of a manufacturer's assets, processes, materials, state, rules, decisions, and available actions. With the right permissions, actions in connected systems become tools that people and AI agents can use.

THE MODEL

More than connected data. Operational meaning.

Factory data becomes useful to agents when it carries the same meaning operators use: what an object is, where it sits in the process, what changed, which rules apply, and what can happen next.

01

Operational objects

Assets, sites, work centres, materials, orders, lots, people, and the systems that describe them.

02

Relationships and live state

How objects connect, what is happening now, and how events change the state of production over time.

03

Rules and decisions

Documents, constraints, definitions, and approved decisions add the context that raw tags and tables leave out.

04

Actions become tools

Available actions in connected systems are modeled with their schemas and permissions. To an agent, each approved action is a typed tool.

HANDS ON

Ask a question. Watch the traceable, governed response.

Every object on the plant floor becomes a node; every relationship becomes an edge. When the agent asks, the neighborhood it reads lights up — every hop traceable. When it acts, the task and the approved decision are written back as new nodes — every action permissioned. It's your graph too: drag any node and its context follows, hover to trace its connections.

FROM SIGNAL TO DECISION

Context agents can use.

The graph sits between industrial systems and the agent runtime. It grounds every investigation in live operations and constrains every proposed action with policy.

  1. 01

    Connect

    Read from MES, ERP, historians, PLCs, documents, and existing data platforms.

  2. 02

    Model

    Resolve source data into a shared manufacturing ontology and live operational state.

  3. 03

    Reason

    Let people and agents investigate production with evidence from connected context.

  4. 04

    Act

    Invoke a permissioned action—such as creating an order in ERP—under the required policy, approval, and audit trail.
