One layer over the systems your factory already runs. Replaces nothing. Finds the loss hiding between two weights.
Whether your plant runs a global ERP or a local one, it already exports everything Mana needs: items, BOMs, stock, orders. Mana reads it through the API, a scoped read-only view, or the exports you already produce. Nothing is replaced.
Batch and order records, line states, changeovers. Mana joins MES actuals with what the plan said and what the cameras saw.
Process parameters straight from the controllers over the protocols the plant already speaks. Read-only, no logic changes.
Over the protocols the plant already speaks:
Levels, alarms, run states. Mana reads from the SCADA layer or its historian so every screenful becomes queryable history.
And the historians underneath them:
Mana connects to the cameras already watching your line over RTSP and ONVIF, through a read-only user on your existing NVR or VMS. No new cameras, no rewiring.
A network point on the camera LAN, a fixed IP for the Mana box, ONVIF enabled, and outbound HTTPS. One email to your camera vendor, and we handle the rest.
Video is processed on site. Events and evidence clips leave the plant; the streams themselves stay on your network.
Works with the ecosystems already on factory walls:
An on-premise edge device built on NVIDIA hardware, running Mana's detection models at the source, in real time.
One unit watches several cameras. Add units per line as coverage grows; each registers itself to the same plant picture.
Detection keeps running if the internet does not. On-site alerts fire locally; the cloud picture catches up when the link returns.
Orders, suppliers, purchasing, planning. When loss traces back to a supplier lot or a rushed changeover, the answer usually lives here. All of these expose APIs, and Mana reads them.
Procurement and supply chain:
The BI layer already aggregates what management sees. Mana reads those models and joins them with the per-batch, per-minute reality underneath, so averages finally have explanations.
The blind spot
The data is there. The picture is not.
Your ERP knows what came in. Your checkweigher knows what went out. Between those two weights sit roasting, grinding, filling and packing, and nobody can say where the loss happens. It never falls from the sky on the floor. It only shows up at the bottom line.
One line, two weights
A typical line, intake to pallet. Each stage already produces data. The gap is that no one joins it.
Raw material arrives and is weighed on arrival.

Mana connects what you already have.
Every data point in the plant becomes one live signal: cameras and edge devices plus the systems you already trust, ERP, MES, QC and BI. Ingested as they are. Nothing replaced.
Anything about the line, in plain language, grounded in live data. A reasoning layer joins vision with operational data to produce cause, not correlation. What. Why. What next.
Alerts reach operators in the same shift. Loss is attributed to line, shift and batch. Patterns surface across shifts, lines and SKUs, so the fix lands where the loss is made.
Book a line review
A line review is free and takes one conversation to scope: we look at the data your line already produces and show you where the picture breaks.
One call. What runs on the line, what measures what, where the weights live today.
We map the stages where loss can hide and what it would take to see it, on your existing systems.
What the blind spot plausibly costs per year, and the shortest path to proving it.
