DARVIS · Knowledge Map · week 1

Your scattered data, gathered onto one page

ERP, MES, sensors, work orders — scattered data joined into
a map of your data on a single page.

How it works

What happens in the first week

  1. 01STEP

    Automatic scan

    Manufacturing data sources are found and collected automatically.

    Read-OnlyExample — fictional data
  2. 02STEP

    Relationship mapping

    Relationships between tables, sensors and work orders are connected automatically.

  3. 03STEP

    Consistency check

    Gaps, duplicates and outliers are found and gathered on one page, leaving only what a person has to touch.

  4. 04STEP

    Ontology confirmed

    Relationships that pass the check are fixed as entities, attributes and rules.
    What the later modules read is this model, not the source systems.

Deliverables

What you hold at the end of the first week

  1. Data map

    Column names, value distributions and join history propose the relationships between tables,
    and anything uncertain goes on a review list instead of being confirmed.

  2. Consistency report

    Gaps, duplicates and outliers gathered on one page. We don’t ask you to fix everything —
    only what a person has to touch is left.

  3. No break

    The map drawn in week 1 carries straight into
    AI Query in weeks 2–3.

What can be connected

If we can read the database,
most systems will connect

Connecting directly to the databasemeans it barely matters which vendor’s system you run.
SAP, an in-house ERP and an MES all connect the same way.
Equipment signals (PLC, historian) are sliced by each work order’s start and end time, and read alongside the ERP and MES records.
