MANUFACTURING AI OS — VEXPLOR

Your factory still
doesn't have an OS.

PCs have Windows. Smartphones have iOS. Your factory has none.

Diagram with FACTORY OS at the center, linked to a production line, quality vision, robotics and AGV, and a data hub. Below, a log shows AI detecting a line anomaly and adjusting the feed rate. On-screen figures are illustrative.

Why factory AI fails

Your factory runs 5 to 12 systems. Each works well. But they don't know each other.

MES
ERP
QMS
WMS
SCM
Data Silos Detected

This isn't an AI problem. It's the absence of an OS.

Like phones before smartphones — no messaging app, because there was no OS.

What happens when you install an OS in your factory

Before (apps only)

After (Factory OS installed)

The secret: The OS already knows 311 relationships.

Expert Agent Collaboration

7 expert agents work like this in your factory

AI agents built from top experts in each field.They share views, verify data, and reach a decision.

This is not a chatbot.
It's an AI team where domain expert agents collaborate in real-time.

Why our AI is different

A true AI OS beyond solutions

This isn't a chatbot on top of solutions. All data connects into one knowledge graph, so AI understands how systems relate.

Diagram of six systems - MES, ERP, QMS, SCM, WMS and EAM - arranged around VEXPLOR AI OS at the center, each linked to it.

Semantic Layer (Knowledge Integration)

20 solutions, 834 tables, and 311 business relationships woven into one knowledge graph (Neo4j).

Kinetic Layer (Real-time Execution)

CDC and outbox patterns sync in real time. Detect a quality issue and related work orders halt at once.

Dynamic Layer (Autonomous Evolution)

GDS algorithms and 5-path hybrid RAG surface hidden patterns and tune weights from execution feedback.

Already in production

At the project site of the government autonomous-factory program, VEXPLOR's AI directly controls PLCs. The 85% digital-twin accuracy was confirmed in the on-site demonstration.

What's inside Factory OS

Just as iOS comes with Camera, Maps, and Messages built in,
Factory OS comes with everything built in for factory operations.

No-Code Canvas

"Design it, and it's instantly operational"

Design tables on the canvas and the database, APIs, and screens are generated without code.

Details
  • Drag & drop schema design
  • 6-stage auto-deployment (DDL → UI)
  • 6 React components per table, auto-generated
  • One-click solution templates

Manufacturing AI (Ontology-based)

"Ask the AI. The OS provides context."

A manufacturing-specific AI trained on 311 business relationships across 20 industrial domains.

Details
  • 5-path RAG (Graph·Vector·SQL·Doc + GoT)
  • Answers cross-checked against the ontology
  • Cross-domain auto-search (5 domains, 30s)
  • AI maturity L1~L4 progressive evolution

Cross-Solution Ontology

"Systems learn to know each other."

The OS core: A knowledge structure that understands inter-system relationships.

Details
  • 1 item master → Auto-connects to 14 solutions
  • Equipment failure → production, delivery, material impact
  • 311+ relationships · 834+ tables · 145+ workflows
  • 3-layer ontology (common → industry → auto-learning)

Virtual Factory Simulation

AI answers "What if?" with hard numbers

Test in a virtual factory without touching the real one.Decisions run on data, not gut feeling.

Other AI

"There is a correlation between temperature and defects"

VEXPLOR AI

"Raise mold temp by 5° and defect rate drops to 0.3%"

Simulation question

"If CNC Machine 3 breaks down, what's the impact?"

Test in the virtual factory first — zero risk to your real operations

AI Safety Guards

AI proposes. Humans decide.

"What if AI acts on its own?" — five safety levels.

L0

View

Shows data only. Makes no decisions.

L1

Suggest

Analyzes and recommends. Never executes.

L2

Approved Execution

Executes only after approval.

L3

Auto Execution

Auto-executes only within predefined rules.

L4

Emergency Response

Immediate action for safety/quality emergencies + full alert.

"AI proposes. Humans decide. Always."

L2 and above always require human approval. All AI actions are recorded in audit logs.

Why your factory needs
Ontology and Knowledge Graphs right now

A question for C-suite executives and plant directors:
Does the AI you're evaluating truly understand your 'shop floor context'?

Bad data must not become bad decisions

Put a probability-based chatbot straight onto the shop floor and you get catastrophic hallucinations.

VEXPLOR defines every factory fact (items, processes, defects) as an Ontology. AI decides and acts only within verified manufacturing rules.

"What's the impact of this equipment failure on order delivery?"

RDBMS and spreadsheets only pile up data — they can't trace meaning and context like "Equipment A fails → Process C delays → Customer E delivery slips."

VEXPLOR's Knowledge Graph links 834 tables and 311+ relationships into one network, traversing 10 steps in a second to find root causes.

No need to replace existing systems (Augment, Not Replace)

No need to discard stable systems (PostgreSQL, etc.). VEXPLOR adds a knowledge graph engine (Neo4j) for analytics and reasoning on top, synced instantly via CDC.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to replace existing MES/ERP?

No. It adds a knowledge layer on top of your existing systems — same data, plus the context AI needs.

How long does deployment take?

Start immediately with the no-code canvas. Core-domain PoC takes 4 weeks; the full ontology build, 4 months.

Are there templates for my industry?

Templates are ready for automotive parts, chemicals/materials, food/pharma, and semiconductor/electronics — applied in one click.

What if AI makes wrong decisions?

The ontology is the guardrail. AI works only within defined business relationships, not guesses. "Inspection criteria for this item" is fact.

How is data security handled?

Full tenant isolation (separate DB schemas), JWT authentication, gateway-level enforcement. Customer data is never shared.

Is both cloud and on-premise available?

Yes. Both SaaS and on-premise, tailored to high-security manufacturing sites.

Factory OS Subscription Plans

All plans run on the same OS. Upgrade and your existing data and AI carry over intact.
