The Challenge ## Plant-floor data is only useful when operations, quality, maintenance, and planning trust the same version. Belvedere connects the systems behind that work. ### Tags and Definitions Don't Line Up A tag in SCADA, a field in MES, and a work order in the CMMS may describe the same asset or event in different ways. Reports break when that context lives in tribal knowledge. ### Downtime, Quality, and Maintenance Are Separated Stops, defects, rework, inspections, alarms, and maintenance history sit in different systems. Root-cause analysis becomes a manual investigation instead of a shared operating view. ### New Lines and Vendor Changes Break Reporting A new line, firmware update, machine replacement, or MES change can invalidate dashboards and hand-built pipelines just when operations needs continuity. Manufacturers already collect the signals they need: PLC and SCADA telemetry, historian tags, MES events, quality checks, maintenance work orders, inventory, and production schedules. The hard part is making those systems agree on equipment, materials, orders, lots, timestamps, and downtime reasons so teams can explain what happened on the line and act on it quickly. Belvedere™ is a configuration plane that sits above your existing plant systems. Its Knowledge Arm catalogs every source and preserves the operational context behind tags, alarms, recipes, work orders, inspections, and inventory movements. The Workflow Arm generates deterministic pipelines that publish trusted data products for OEE, downtime analysis, quality traceability, maintenance planning, and production reporting. When equipment changes, vendors update firmware, tags move, or new lines come online, Belvedere detects the change, updates the configuration, and redeploys the affected pipelines. Your plant keeps its existing systems, while reporting and operational workflows stay current.

DescriptionInputsOutputsHistory Telemetry from PLCs and SCADA is fused with MES events, QMS records, CMMS work orders, and ERP context to show how line conditions relate to downtime, rework, defects, and maintenance actions. Each output carries source lineage back to the tag, inspection, work order, lot, and production schedule that contributed to it. Maintenance teams can prioritize recurring equipment issues, quality teams can trace defects back to operating conditions, and production leaders can review OEE without debating which system owns the number.

What if a new line comes online with different PLCs? The Schema Agent discovers the new tags, maps them to the canonical asset and production model, and proposes the changes before adding the line to OEE and downtime reporting.

Ask about this pipeline How It Works ## From disconnected plant systems to trusted operations data Manufacturing data spans PLCs, SCADA, historians, MES, QMS, CMMS, ERP, and sensors. Here’s how Belvedere turns that complexity into pipelines production teams can trust. Step 01 ### Catalog every plant system Belvedere’s Knowledge Arm catalogs PLC tags, SCADA points, historian streams, MES events, QMS records, CMMS work orders, ERP tables, and sensor feeds across your plants. OT/IT sources cataloged • owners mapped • context preserved Step 02 ### Map tags to operational context Belvedere builds a living knowledge base of what each tag, field, asset, material, lot, recipe, and downtime code means. Definitions are reconciled explicitly so teams do not rely on tribal knowledge to interpret reports. Asset context • lot traceability • definitions reconciled Step 03 ### Generate deterministic operations pipelines The Workflow Arm generates auditable pipeline code that fuses plant-floor and enterprise data into OEE, downtime, quality, maintenance, and production reporting datasets. Every transformation is explainable to operations and engineering teams. OEE • downtime • quality • maintenance Step 04 ### Deploy to the infrastructure you already trust Pipelines deploy to your existing data platforms: cloud data lakes, on-prem historians, warehouse environments, or edge compute at the plant. No rip-and-replace and no lock-in to a single OT vendor. Runs on your stack • plant-ready • portable configuration Step 05 ### Monitor, self-heal, and keep production moving The Observability Arm watches every pipeline. When a PLC is upgraded, a tag moves, a quality code changes, or a new line comes online, Belvedere detects the change, updates the configuration, and keeps reporting current. Drift detection • self-healing • reporting continuity ## Ready to unify your manufacturing data?
