Dashboard Chaos to Single-Question Clarity
Operational teams spend hours every day jumping between dashboards, exporting CSVs, and stitching together reports. Rishi transforms this chaos into instant, accurate answers with a single question.
Walk into any modern manufacturing facility, and you'll find a paradox: teams are drowning in data but starving for insights.
Every day, operational teams spend 2-4 hours hunting for answers by jumping between 6-12 dashboards, opening historian charts, exporting CSVs, and manually correlating data.
The Dashboard Nightmare
Here's what a typical morning looks like for a production supervisor:
That's 90 minutes wasted before solving a single problem.
The Cost of Dashboard Hopping
This isn't just an inconvenience—it's a massive productivity drain:
Time Waste
2-4 hours daily per team member hunting for data across dashboards
Context Switching
Jumping between 6-12 systems breaks flow and increases errors
Manual Correlation
Stitching together insights from multiple sources is error-prone and slow
Delayed Response
By the time you find the issue, you've lost valuable production time

Instant, accurate insights with visualizations and actionable recommendations
Real-World Example
Question: "Why did Line 3's OEE drop below 75% yesterday afternoon?"
Traditional Approach (90+ minutes):
- Open OEE dashboard, filter by Line 3, export yesterday's data
- Switch to downtime tracking tool, look for events during that timeframe
- Open historian, check sensor readings around downtime events
- Pull quality logs to see if defects contributed
- Cross-reference maintenance records
- Manually correlate all findings
- Build summary report
Rishi Approach (30 seconds):
Answer: "Line 3's OEE dropped to 71.3% yesterday between 2:15 PM and 4:30 PM due to:
- Unplanned downtime (18 minutes): Conveyor belt sensor fault triggered 3 stops
- Reduced speed (12% slower): Operator manually throttled line due to upstream material flow issues
- Quality holds (4.2% rejection rate): Dimensional variance on Part #A7724 exceeded tolerance
Recommendation: Schedule conveyor sensor replacement and inspect Part #A7724 tooling.
How Rishi Delivers Instant Answers
Behind the scenes, Rishi's multi-agent architecture orchestrates complex data retrieval and analysis:
1. Query Understanding
The Supervisor Agent interprets your question, identifies required data sources, and plans the retrieval strategy
2. Parallel Data Retrieval
Specialized agents simultaneously fetch data from historians, databases, and live sensors—no manual dashboard hopping
3. Contextual Analysis
The Analysis Agent correlates findings, identifies root causes, and calculates impact—automatically
4. Actionable Insights
Results are presented with visualizations, recommendations, and the ability to drill deeper with follow-up questions
Conclusion
The era of juggling multiple dashboards and spending hours hunting for answers is over. Manufacturing teams don't need more dashboards—they need instant, actionable intelligence that keeps pace with the speed of modern production.
Rishi transforms the way manufacturing operations work by replacing the complexity of multiple tools with the simplicity of natural conversation. Instead of navigating through endless screens and piecing together data from different sources, operators and managers can simply ask questions and get comprehensive answers in seconds.
This isn't just about convenience—it's about fundamentally improving how decisions are made on the factory floor. When teams can access critical information instantly, they respond faster to issues, optimize processes more effectively, and drive continuous improvement across the entire operation.
The question isn't whether AI will transform manufacturing intelligence—it's whether your operation will lead or follow. With Rishi, you're not just adopting new technology; you're embracing a smarter, faster way to run your production line.
