Demonstrator

Illustrative UI and data for the CIIT FactorySandbox pilot. No control actions reach any PLC.

Intelligence without replacing the machine

Documentation-first onboarding works even when there is no modern PLC, AAS or cloud connectivity.

Three levels of data access

The levels describe data access — not a purchase requirement. Start with what already exists.

Level 1This wizard

No connectivity

Nameplate · scanned manuals · wiring diagrams

Asset Agent

Level 2

Low-cost retrofit

Optional read-only gateway · current sensor · pulse counter

Core selling point

Why documentation-first

  • Use existing equipment

    Start from the nameplate and the binder in the cabinet — no new controller needed.

  • Preserve investment

    Machines that still run well keep their value instead of being replaced.

  • Reduce dependency on scarce expertise

    Knowledge that lived in one technician’s head becomes searchable and cited.

Level 1 guardrails

  • No runtime or current state without a valid data link
  • Unreadable pages are shown and excluded — never filled in
  • Low-confidence fields stay “Not documented” until confirmed
  • No AAS: a draft passport is generated from confirmed fields
