Artificial intelligence (AI) on the shop floor explained simply
PROXIA MES-Intelligence is being continuously expanded to integrate AI more closely into production processes.
What are the concrete benefits of MES-Intelligence?
This speeds up decision-making processes and makes much more efficient use of existing data.
How does MES-Intelligence work in production?
 
Queries are automatically translated into database queries and prepared in an understandable way.What use cases are there in production?
- Analysis of machine downtimes
- Evaluation of key production figures (OEE)
- Support with troubleshooting and faults
- Access to documentation and configuration knowledge
- Query orders and production data
MES-Intelligence – finally making production knowledge easy to use
In modern production environments, large volumes of data are generated every day:
- Machine states
- Order data
- Operating and machine data
- Quality messages
- Malfunctions and downtimes
This information is available in the MES-System, but is often only partially used because access is complex. MES-Intelligence from PROXIA makes this knowledge accessible for the first time using natural language. Users ask questions – and immediately receive comprehensible answers from the documentation and production system.
Who is MES-Intelligence from PROXIA intended for?
PROXIA MES-Intelligence supports various roles in the production environment:
Production manager
Shift leader
Maintenance
MES administrators
Quality assurance
Key users and operators
Advantages for production companies
Operating concept – Natural language as a user interface
MES-Intelligence replaces complex menu structures with dialog-based operation. Users ask their questions in the chat – just as they would ask a colleague.
Free text questions without limits
Examples:
- "How do I configure the feedback for machine M12?"
- "What orders are still open today?"
- "Why was order 4711 interrupted yesterday?"
- "Which downtime reasons occur most frequently with machine X?"
Step-by-step instructions
- Setup and configuration
- Troubleshooting
- daily operating procedures
Step-by-step instructions
- Setup and configuration
- Troubleshooting
- daily operating procedures
Error codes in plain text
The assistant explains:
- Meaning of the message
- Possible causes
- Recommended remedial measures
Parallel chat sessions
Knowledge base – technical documentation always to hand
MES-Intelligence uses a central knowledge base consisting of technical documentation and process information. This means that all relevant information is available in a structured form at all times.
PDF, Markdown & XML support
- Manuals
- Release Notes
- Configuration guides
- Process descriptions
Intelligent document analysis
Precise source anchoring
The AI assistant refers to the relevant places within the stored documentation.
Central admin administration
- Upload documents
- Update contents
- Remove documents
- Categorize thematically
Your data remains entirely within your own infrastructure.
Simply query production data using natural language.
Users and administrators with separate access rights.
Shopfloor integration – consulting the MES system directly
PROXIA MES-Intelligence is directly connected to the PROXIA MES-System. This means that users can not only search through documentation, but also query and analyze production data directly.
This includes applications such as predictive maintenance, production planning and machine learning in manufacturing.
Natural language database queries
Examples:
- "Show all open production orders from today."
- "Which machine had the longest standstill yesterday?"
- "What orders are currently running on line 3?"
Semantic schema understanding
- Orders
- Resources
- Materials
- Bookings
- Machines
- Malfunctions
User-specific queries
Queries automatically refer to:
- your machines
- their lines
- your production area
Reusable queries
Ideal for regular production reports.
Production data – call up & understand operating data live
MES-Intelligence from PROXIA can call up current production information directly from the MES-System. This allows operating and machine data to be interpreted quickly and correlations to be identified.
Machine status & running times
- Machine status
- Running times
- Downtime reasons
- Order progress
- Resource utilization
Combined answers
- Document knowledge
- MES system knowledge
- Live production data
"How do I configure the setup time for machine X - and how much was booked last week?"
Resource-specific views
Reporting & evaluation – analyze data faster
MES-Intelligence can not only retrieve production data, but also prepare it directly for analysis. Users can key figures analyze and further refine key figures, production data and machine information in the chat.
Saved & repeatable queries
Ideal for:
- daily production reports
- Machine analyses
- Key figure queries
Contextual memory about the session
Example:
"Filter the result further to layer 2."
Structured tables in the chat
Natural filter logic
PROXIA MES-Intelligence automatically translates these into database queries.
Security & operation – Data sovereignty & access control
Using AI securely – without data risk: PROXIA MES-Intelligence has been specially developed for industrial production environments in which data security, control and traceability play a central role. Especially when using artificial intelligence, it is crucial that sensitive production data remains protected and does not end up in external systems in an uncontrolled manner.
On-Premise Deployment
- Documents, chat histories and production data never leave the company network
- No dependence on external cloud services
- Full control over data, operation and system environment
In addition, all responses remain traceable: they are based on stored technical documentation and structured MES data.
Two-roller model
- Users (chat usage)
- Administrators (system administration)
Access and queries are thus clearly regulated and limited to the respective area of responsibility.
Containerized architecture
Advantages:
- Simple installation
- Clear service boundaries
- Secure integration into existing IT structures
- Kubernetes-enabled infrastructure
Flexible AI model selection
- Google Gemini
- OpenAI GPT
- Locally operated models
Companies can decide for themselves which models are used and how the AI is integrated into their own infrastructure.
