INSPIREXT X CONNECTED SHOPFLOOR

From machine signals
to business action.

Your equipment, your people and your enterprise, connected through data and AI.

Three platforms.
One solution, delivered by InspireXT.

THE PROBLEM

A machine signal is only useful when it reaches the people who run the business.

Connected Shopfloor brings equipment data, operational workflows and AI into the decisions
your teams make every day.

IN MAINTENANCE

Equipment conditions that don't turn into timely maintenance.

IN QUALITY

Inspection results kept apart from the production record.

IN PRODUCTION

Stops and rejects that never reach planning.

IN REPORTING

Hours of manual reporting to explain yesterday's losses.

THE END-TO-END SOLUTION

A connected path. From signal to outcome.

Litmus provides trusted industrial data. Oracle connects it to execution. Databricks brings data and AI across the operation. InspireXT designs and implements the connections between them.

FROM THE EDGE TO THE ENTERPRISE

One connected operating view.

Every signal follows the same path, from the machine to the decision, with people in control at each step.

Sense

Connect equipment and industrial systems, and give every machine event its asset, process and production context.

Understand

Combine shopfloor and enterprise data to see the loss, the likely cause and the pattern behind it

Act

Route validated events into maintenance, quality, inventory and planning workflows, with agreed controls.

Three platforms. One solution, delivered by InspireXT.

THE INSPIREXT ROLE

We make the connection work.

Connected Shopfloor is a business transformation. We bring manufacturing and maintenance expertise, OT
and IT integration and data engineering together, from the first use case to everyday operations.

Define the value

Prioritise uptime, quality and throughput challenges. Agree a baseline, measurable outcomes and a practical roadmap.

Design the solution

Assess your assets, systems and data. Define the architecture, security, integration patterns and operational responsibilities.

Connect the shopfloor

Implement Litmus connectivity and data models. Give machine events the asset, process and production context people need.

Enable business action

Configure Oracle processes and integrations so shopfloor events inform production, maintenance, quality, inventory and planning.

Put AI to work

Build the governed data foundation. Configure and validate analytics, AI assistants and prediction use cases with your teams.

Embed and improve

Test end to end, train users and support adoption. Measure results, refine the solution and scale proven patterns across sites.

Business context + industrial connectivity + enterprise execution + AI 

InspireXT brings it together.

WHAT WE DO

Start with the outcome that matters to you.

01 · PROTECT UPTIME

Turn equipment conditions into timely maintenance.

Monitor vibration, temperature and pressure with asset context, separate real faults from passing noise, and route validated events into maintenance workflows.

How it works
  1. Equipment signal: vibration or temperature deviates.
  2. Context and assessment: Litmus context, configured rules and model insights.
  3. Operational response: Oracle maintenance workflow, with agreed controls.

Unplanned downtime · Response time · Repeat failures

02 · STRENGTHEN QUALITY

Connect quality evidence to every production step.

Capture sensor or vision inspection results with the production record, and link lots, serials and process parameters for full product
genealogy.

How it works
  1. Process evidence: measurements and evidence captured from the line.
  2. Production context: lot, serial, operation and process history.
  3. Quality response: traceable action supported by analytics and AI.

Scrap and rework · Investigation time · First-pass quality

03 · IMPROVE THROUGHPUT

See the loss and improve the flow.

Capture starts, stops, completed quantities and rejects, track OEE and reason-coded losses, and connect production progress to inventory and planning.

How it works
  1. Machine event: a production line stops, with state, time and machine context captured.
  2. Execution visibility: status, reason codes and exceptions update.
  3. Informed response: supervisors act with live context and AI-supported insight.

OEE · Schedule attainment · Manual reporting effort

Intelligence where the work happens.

AT THE EDGE · LITMUS

Detect and interpret.

Local analytics and AI models run close to the equipment and pick up patterns and deviations as they happen.

Use case: equipment condition insight

IN THE WORKFLOW · ORACLE

Guide and assist.

Operators find approved procedures and draft work instructions without leaving their manufacturing workflow.

Use case: procedure and instruction advisors

ACROSS THE ENTERPRISE · DATABRICKS

Learn and predict.

Industrial and enterprise history come together for analytics, AI agents and questions asked in plain English.

Use case: cross-site performance analysis

Built on trust. We define data ownership, permissions and quality checks, test AI against real operating scenarios, and keep people in control of critical decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a connected shopfloor?

A connected shopfloor links machines, sensors and production systems to the enterprise systems that plan and record the work, so machine data informs maintenance, quality and planning decisions as they happen. InspireXT’s Connected Shopfloor connects equipment data, operational workflows and AI around the systems a plant already runs.

No. A connected shopfloor works alongside an existing MES and ERP. It brings in the machine data those systems often leave on the line, such as settings and sensor readings, and connects it to the production records and decisions they already hold.

Yes. A connected shopfloor project starts with an assessment of equipment, interfaces, protocols, network access and data quality, and InspireXT then defines an integration approach that fits the plant and proves connectivity through an agreed pilot.

With InspireXT, the discovery stage of a connected shopfloor implementation typically takes four to six weeks and ends with a prioritised use case and an agreed baseline. A focused pilot then proves the connected workflow on real equipment before it is scaled.

Yes. Once a connected workflow is proven at one site, the same data models, rules and reports are rolled out to the next, so every plant is measured on the same numbers and can be compared directly.
