Physical Operations Intelligence for Manufacturing
Digitize the visual work your operations depend on.
Turn visual inspection, identification, and verification into reliable operational data connected to the systems that run your business — across every part, station, shift, line, and facility.
The Visibility Gap
Your systems know the requirements. But not what happened on the floor.
Critical inspections and asset checks still depend on people to see, verify, and manually record results. Plainsight digitizes that work.
01 — Requirements
Requirements
Specifications and systems of record define what should be present, correct, or allowed.
02 — Visual work
Visual work
Inspection, identification, and verification determine what is physically there and whether it is right.
03 — Operational record
Operational record
Verified results become traceable data in ERP, MES, QMS, inventory, asset, or workflow systems.
Plainsight connects all three.
Unified Operations View
“Why is Line 4 failing more inspections on second shift?”
Plainsight shows how defects are trending, where they occur, and what they affect, giving Quality and Operations a clear path to action.

From Data to Business Impact
Small visual gaps become enterprise-level costs.
Small production gaps add up, creating rework, delays, traceability risk, and lost capacity. Plainsight shows where they happen and what its costing the operation.
Questions leaders can finally answer
Was the part, assembly, or product built to requirements?
Where did the defect or deviation first appear?
Which items required human review — and why?
Are failures concentrated by part, lot, station, shift, or facility?
Which lines and facilities perform consistently?
Where should Quality and Operations focus first?
Where the impact shows up
Quality and first-pass yield
Scrap and rework
Throughput and cycle time
Traceability and audit readiness
Labor and operational capacity
Downstream customer and warranty risk
How It Works
Turn visual observations into structured operational data.
See → Understand → Verify → Record → Act
01
See
Capture the asset at the point of work using the right imaging setup.
02
Understand
Identify it, extract key attributes, and detect relevant deviations.
03
Verify
Check it against requirements and route exceptions for human review.
04
Record
Create a traceable record with production context and visual evidence.
05
Act
Update systems, trigger workflows, and alert the right teams.
Prove. Repeat. Scale.
Prove one visual workflow before expanding.
Start with one high-value inspection, identification, or verification workflow under real operating conditions and with agreed success criteria. Expand only after the evidence supports the next investment.
01
Prove
Validate one workflow at one station. Confirm image quality, decision accuracy, human-review handling, record creation, and system fit.
02
Repeat
Confirm performance across relevant products, shifts, stations, layouts, and operating conditions.
03
Scale
Extend the proven operating model across additional workflows, lines, and facilities.
Visual Workflows
Start with the visual decision that matters most.
Plainsight digitizes two kinds of visual work. Choose the workflow creating the most operational risk, delay, or manual effort today.
Start here
Inspect & Verify — Is it right?
Digitize visual quality workflows: detect defects or deviations, verify against requirements, create traceable inspection records, and connect results into enterprise systems.
Examples: Weld, surface, dimensional, assembly, and finished-product quality inspection.
Also available
Identify & Verify — What is it?
Digitize physical asset identification and data capture: identify assets or parts, extract markings and attributes, validate against trusted data, and create or update enterprise records.
Examples: Part identification, serial or placard capture, inventory intake, and asset verification.
Intake and asset verification
Standard work confirmation
Traceable system records
Start with one high-value visual workflow. Once it reliably creates trusted operational data, extend the same foundation across additional inspections, workflows, stations, and facilities.
Integrations
Built to work with the manufacturing systems you already run.
Plainsight connects physical observations to specifications, work instructions, and master data, then sends verified results into the systems that run the operation. It adds the missing physical-execution layer without replacing systems of record.
ERP and MES
Production orders, routing, materials, and execution context.
QMS and quality data systems
Requirements, inspection results, nonconformance, and traceability.
Inventory and asset systems
Item identity, serial data, intake, location, and status.
Workflow and alerting systems
Review queues, exception handling, notifications, and downstream action.
Open APIs and webhooks allow verified visual events and records to connect to the enterprise environment.
Integrations
We work with the ERP, MES, and historians you already run.
Plainsight sits alongside your systems of record and plant-floor execution layer, matching what was planned and reported against what actually happened on the line. No rip-and-replace, no new hardware standard.
ERP & systems of record
MES & quality execution
Historians, IIoT & data platforms
Don't see your system? Plainsight streams events through open APIs, webhooks, MQTT, and OPC UA, so it connects to virtually any ERP, MES, or historian.
Start with one operational question.
Start with one visual workflow.
Show us a manual inspection, identification, or verification step your operations depend on. We will define the data it needs to produce, how it should be verified, and what success looks like before scaling.
In restaurants, Plainsight powers restaurant order accuracy, drive-thru analytics, back-of-house inventory visibility, service speed and throughput, SOP and food-safety compliance, and multi-location benchmarking.
