FAQs
Manufacturing AI, without the mystery.
How does DTskill connect with existing plant systems?
The selected workflow determines the connections to ERP, MES, SCADA, QMS, CMMS and engineering repositories.
Can a manufacturer begin with one equipment workflow?
Yes. Equipment-failure investigation can provide a focused starting point for evaluating AI with maintenance teams.
How are different machines and vendor platforms integrated?
Integration depends on accessible interfaces, timestamps, equipment identifiers and consistent interpretation of plant data.
Who approves changes to plant operations?
Responsible plant teams retain approval over maintenance actions, process adjustments and other consequential changes.
What should a manufacturing pilot measure?
Match measures to the workflow, such as investigation time, recommendation usefulness or unplanned downtime where the observation period supports it.
Which plant records are needed?
Relevant machine history, production records, work orders, failure reports, drawings and approved operating procedures.
How can teams verify technical answers?
Provide references to controlled drawings, SOPs and maintenance records, including revision information where available.
When should the pilot extend to other operations?
Expand when plant users validate the results and the next workflow has suitable data, ownership and measurable value.
