Aesthon Foreman · Live
Foreman plugs into your MES and runs the research, root-cause analysis, and corrective actions your team does manually every week, so engineers act on decisions, not hunt for data.

01 · The problem today
Every Monday, engineers hunt through MES exports, pivot OEE spreadsheets, and argue over which deviation came first. By the time a corrective action ships, three more shifts have run with the same loss.
01 · Mon · 08:00
Engineers and supervisors decode last week's OEE by hand. The cycle restarts before the action shipped.
Cost · Once a week
02 · +90 min
MES exports pivoted, joined with QA logs, normalised by line and shift. The same query, rebuilt every Monday.
Cost · 8h / engineer / week
03 · +2 days
Eight emails, three meetings, a Teams thread. The deviation is still unconfirmed by Wednesday.
Cost · Cross-functional ping-pong
04 · Next week
The decision gets parked. Nothing writes back to the line. The loop never closes.
Cost · The cycle severs here
05 · Ongoing
By the time anyone re-opens the file, the same loss has run for three more shifts on the same line.
Cost · 3 shifts repeat the fault

02 · The reframe
Above your MES. Below your engineers. Foreman agents read your data, reason over context, and surface the next correct action in seconds, not in Monday meetings.
03 · How it works
REV. 02 · LIVE
Each pillar runs continuously over the same MES, SCADA, and historian data your plant already produces — no second platform, no second dataset.

LIVE
Pillar 01
Agents that act on context, not dashboards.
Read your MES events, reason over 14 days of plant context, and surface the next correct action with a confidence score. Engineer approves; agent dispatches.

Pillar 02
A live, queryable mirror of every line.
Stream MES, SCADA, and historian signals into a single observability surface. Ask plain-English questions like 'why did Line 4 stall?' and get answers grounded in your real data.

Agents trained on your plant, not the internet.
Customize agent behavior, KPIs, SOPs, and approval gates per plant, per line, per shift. Built for the way your team actually works, not a generic AI template.

04 · Where it fits
Foreman is a decision layer, not a data platform. We plug into your MES, SCADA, and historian (read-only by default), and surface actions to the engineers who already run the line.
