Manufacturing & Logistics
IoT and ERP metadata. OTIF and quality, floor to exec.
Industry
From five plant formulas to
one OTIF across the network.
IoT and ERP metadata in one map. Quality and logistics certify defect-rate and OTIF, then run blast radius before a plant schema change.
Overview
Shipment, inventory, and promise on one grain.
Lane, order, and stop must share IDs. OTIF only helps if it has a reason. The network and the books cannot use two clocks. A weekly pack is how misses age.
Company Brain puts stop, lane, and cost on the shipment. Promise and miss sit on one object. Stock that the books can close shares IDs with the ledger. The customer sees the same ETA you do.
This page is for network ops, plant quality, control tower, and finance who close freight without a monthly carrier remap.
- Control tower and network ops owning late, short, and damage now
- Quality tracing defect-rate to plant_floor_sensors
- IT connecting MES, ERP, and WMS as contracts
- Finance closing freight actuals without a remap

Company Brain
What Company Brain is, and how it helps Logistics.
Company Brain is shipment, inventory, and promise on one grain. Stop, lane, and cost share IDs. OTIF has a reason. The customer sees the same ETA you do.
The tower and the books stop using two clocks. A delay is an exception with an owner, not a weekly PDF. Freight actuals close without a carrier remap.
- One OTIF across plants and lanes, with plant drill-down.
- Late, short, and damage sit on the live tower board.
- In-transit stock joins the ledger on named IDs.
- Chat and the tracker cite the same promise object.
Use cases
Go from OT and IT orphans to floor-to-exec lineage
Network-wide
One definition across plants and logistics
Weekly ops reviews stop being a reconcile-a-thon.
- Plant-level drill-down.
- Same ID on the exec dashboard.
- On time, in full, with a reason.
Defect-rate
Trace the KPI to plant_floor_sensors
Quality can defend the number in an audit.
- Path to raw sensors.
- Alerts when a plant feed goes stale.
- Hold, scrap, and late with owners in shift.
Pre-migration
Impact before the schema change
Unplanned reporting downtime is optional.
- Supply-chain and quality models listed.
- Owners notified in the change window.
- Impact query before the cutover.
Network
A shipment that planning and finance both see
Stop, lane, and cost share IDs. A delay is an exception with an owner, not a weekly PDF.
- Stop and lane on the shipment.
- Cost on the ID.
- Delay owned now.
Node
Stock that the books can close
On-hand, in-transit, and reserved share IDs with the ledger.
- Node stock named.
- In-transit visible.
- Ledger join.
Service
The customer sees the same ETA you do
Chat and the tracker sit on Company Brain. No second story in a portal.
- Same ETA.
- Cited answers.
- No second clock for the customer.
How it lands
OT, IT, HQ. One graph.
Local first
Metadata stays near the plant
Self-host when operational data cannot leave the site.
- No production rows required.
- ERP and IoT catalogs connected.
- Name shipment, stop, SKU.
Model
Name the lane and the cost rules
If cost is a spreadsheet, OTIF will never match the P&L.
- Named lane.
- Cost rules in the graph.
- P&L join.
On-call
When iot_ingest_plant_a fails
Every OTIF and quality tile in the blast radius.
- Cited comms to plant and HQ.
- Company Brain for ops Q&A.
- Tower as the board. Late, short, and damage with owners now.
Finance
Freight actuals land without a remap
If Finance remaps carriers every month, the grain is wrong.
- No remap.
- Carrier grain named.
- Close from the objects the tower already uses.
