Ask about anything your site already logs
Plant Advisor is a server engine which organises context for an existing Scada database to allow users to employ AI in a clean repeatable manner. The interface allows for creation and re-use of saved user-defined queries to provide consistency and objectivity.

Useful information from historian data usually needs specialist knowledge or a custom report. Plant Advisor removes that barrier. Operators simply ask a question in natural language and get an answer drawn straight from what the historian has already logged. No intermediate step, and nothing to maintain.
No dashboards
Nothing to build or maintain.
No SQL to write
Just natural language questions.
Answers in seconds
Drawn from logged data.
Built for plant environments.
Where data integrity and system security are non-negotiable.
Read-only access
Plant Advisor only reads from the historian. It can’t change plant data or anything in the control system.
Local data
Conversations and reports produced by the service stay on the host machine on your plant network. Nothing is saved in outside servers.
Role-based access
Operators ask questions and run Topics; administrators manage settings and accounts separately.
Encrypted credentials
Database and service logins are stored encrypted on the host. No credentials leave the plant network.
Three ways to work with your data.
Some of what Plant Advisor can do.
Chat assistant
Ask questions in natural language and get an answer drawn from the historian: alarms, levels, trends, running programs, anything logged at site.
Topics
Save any recurring queries as Topics and run them in one click. Ideal for shift handovers, daily summaries and equipment health checks.
Server engine
A background process reads recent plant data on a schedule and writes recommendations and forecasts automatically. Problems surface before anyone asks.
Simple integration.

Connect from any device
Once the service is running, any device on the plant network reaches Plant Advisor through a browser using the host’s IP address and port. Sign in and you’re ready.

Use it from your workstation
Ask questions, run Topics for detailed reports, build your own Topics, or switch on the Server Engine for scheduled background analysis.
