Accelerate AI-driven transformation with Manufacturing Data Engine
Eliminate IT and OT data silos to gain a strategic edge. When business technology and operational machinery remain disconnected, you can only react to issues as they happen. Unifying edge telemetry with your core ERP using Google Cloud AI unlocks a self-optimizing facility. By powering autonomous, generative AI applications, your data actively drives operations—allowing machines to order parts before they break, assembly lines to recalibrate on the fly, and schedules to adapt instantly.
Benefits
The AI advantage for manufacturing
Unify IT and OT for the AI era
The elimination of data silos between Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) is essential for manufacturers aiming to leverage artificial intelligence. By facilitating a highly efficient unification of IT and OT datasets, Google enhances your manufacturing intelligence and provides the precise grounding that large language models (LLMs) need for enterprise grade generative AI.
Experience the power of production ready, Gemini powered agents. By utilizing industrial OT streams—normalized such as Manufacturing Data Engine into BigQuery—Gemini Enterprise runs across the Cortex data foundation to autonomously address your most critical operational challenges through agents such as:
Quality performance
Quality performance
Quality Performance Agent acts as a quality coordinator. It synthesizes structured inspection reports stored in databases with unstructured defect FAQs and troubleshooting logs, providing a unified natural language interface to analyze scrap trends, audit results, and overall plant quality metrics.
Maintenance AI
Maintenance AI
Maintenance AI Agent is a sophisticated coordinator designed to assist maintenance engineers. It acts as a single interface to three distinct knowledge bases: historical maintenance logs, technical troubleshooting guides, and enterprise work order systems.
Production scheduling
Production scheduling
Achieve peak output with an autonomous scheduling agent. By cross-referencing SAP orders with real time shop floor data, it instantly recalibrates production flows to handle disruptions and maximize efficiency.
Key features
The foundation of manufacturing intelligence
The biggest barrier to autonomous manufacturing is not the AI itself—it is the underlying data infrastructure. The solutions below bridge the shop floor and the top floor, converging IT and OT environments to transform siloed data into an AI-ready engine for your most ambitious workflows.
SAP BDC Connect for BigQuery: The zero-copy data revolution
Stop moving your data and start driving actions. SAP Business Data Cloud delivers seamless, zero-copy, bi-directional integration with Google Cloud. By providing direct access between SAP BDC and BigQuery, you can eliminate manual ETL pipelines and data fragmentation. Unify your entire enterprise data footprint without the risk, cost, or complexity of moving or duplicating massive datasets.
Google Cloud Cortex Framework
The Google Cloud Cortex Framework, integrated seamlessly with the Manufacturing Data Engine, empowers organizations to maximize the utility of their operational data. We make it faster and easier than ever to unify IT and OT data, creating the perfect foundation to ground LLMs for advanced generative AI applications and unlock new possibilities for manufacturing intelligence.
Manufacturing Connect by Litmus Automation
Bring the factory floor to the cloud. Manufacturing Connect is an edge-to-cloud gateway that processes and stores data locally. It translates over 270 industrial communication protocols into standardized Pub/Sub messages. It is used in our reference architecture to ingest and normalize industrial OT streams, transforming them into AI-ready data products. When powered by Gemini Enterprise, these data products become the fuel for autonomous, enterprise-grade agents capable of handling predictive maintenance, quality self-correction, and autonomous scheduling.
