Manufacturing Observability

Connect production-related applications, IT assets, and edge services

Bring configured MES, ERP, WMS, device-platform, edge, application, infrastructure, and network evidence into a shared investigation view while preserving operational-technology boundaries and system-of-record ownership.

Operational outcomes to validate

Scope incidents across sites, systems, and dependencies

Share dashboards with explicit access boundaries

Connect alerts, ownership, response, and recovery checks

What manufacturing observability should answer

Which application, edge service, network path, or IT dependency is affecting the production workflow?

Manufacturing observability connects telemetry from supported production-related applications and IT systems. It does not replace PLC, SCADA, MES, ERP, quality, or safety control; those systems remain authoritative for operation and control.

Production continuity

Observe supported MES, ERP, WMS, device-platform, edge, and business-application dependencies.

Site and asset context

Organise telemetry by plant, line, service, environment, gateway, resource, and responsible team.

Governed response

Apply access, alert ownership, maintenance muting, incident records, and recovery validation.

Build a governed manufacturing investigation path

Connect production-related applications with their IT dependencies

Connect production-related applications with their IT dependencies

Collect supported metrics, logs, traces, host, container, cloud, network, and edge telemetry through documented paths. Use stable site, system, service, environment, and owner tags so teams can narrow the affected boundary.

Give plants and central teams a shared view with controlled access

Give plants and central teams a shared view with controlled access

Build dashboards and investigations around the roles that need them. Workspace, role, data-access, masking, and sharing rules should reflect site, department, supplier, and data sensitivity boundaries.

Turn actionable conditions into owned incident workflows

Turn actionable conditions into owned incident workflows

Define monitors for meaningful service or workflow impact, mute expected maintenance, route alerts by severity and owner, and verify recovery with the same signals. Safety and process-control actions remain in authorised systems and procedures.

Frequently asked questions

Which manufacturing systems can Guance observe?

Coverage depends on supported data paths. Typical evaluation scope includes MES, ERP, WMS, device platforms, edge applications, hosts, containers, networks, databases, cloud resources, and enterprise applications.

Does Guance replace industrial control or safety systems?

No. Guance analyses configured observability data. PLC, SCADA, DCS, MES, quality, and safety systems remain authoritative for control and governed operational decisions.

How should multiple plants and suppliers share observability data?

Define stable site and ownership tags, then apply workspace, role, data-access, masking, and sharing controls according to organisational and supplier boundaries.

Bring a representative production workflow, site topology, OT boundary, telemetry path, and response procedure to plan the evaluation
