Sight Machine

What is Sight Machine?

Sight Machine is an industrial AI platform for manufacturers. It connects controls, historians, MES and ERP systems, builds a single structured model of the plant, and converts raw signals into production events and KPIs that agents and engineers can both work from. Agents keep investigating production and turn validated findings into recommendations for operations teams. The platform also publishes its manufacturing intelligence as an MCP server, so other agents in an enterprise can draw on plant-floor insight, and it is offered on Azure alongside Microsoft services. A separate small language model, Factory Namespace Manager, was built with Microsoft on a fine-tuned Phi-3.5 model to map inconsistent factory tag names to a corporate standard. Sight Machine does not publish prices: you request a demo, while Factory Namespace Manager is sold as a 1-month or 1-year subscription on the Azure Marketplace with a one-time 7-day trial.

Use cases

• Connect OT and IT plant data
• Model lines, assets and processes
• Find output and waste improvements

Why use Sight Machine

• Puts data from separate plant systems into one model that people and agents can reason on.
• Agents keep looking for output and waste improvements instead of relying on one-off analysis projects.
• Standard tag names make factory data easier to join with enterprise systems.
• Runs with Azure and other tools manufacturers already use, such as Databricks and Microsoft Teams.

How to get started with Sight Machine

1. Connect controls, historians, MES, ERP and other OT and IT systems through the platform's connectors.
2. The platform maps the plant into a structured model and turns signals into production events and KPIs.
3. Agents investigate production continuously and build industry-specific machine learning tools as they go.
4. Validated findings appear as live recommendations that operations teams act on.
5. Other enterprise agents can reach the same intelligence through the MCP server.

Sight Machine limitations

• Prices are not published; request a demo or check the Azure Marketplace listing
• The Factory Namespace Manager trial limits how many tags can be renamed at once and per day
• After an FNM subscription, a representative arranges access once a licensing agreement is in place
