The Problem
The "Why"
20% of manufacturing downtime is undefined.
On Clarios Manufacturing lines, production stops occur without a clear explanation — because current systems can't see what actually happened.
Each 1% improvement in OEE on a TBS AGM line represents (Toledo/annually):
Now you can see what happened.
Panoptes pairs continuous video with AI analysis and MES data — so every downtime event is captured, explained, and paired with visual evidence automatically.
Why the gap exists
How Panoptes closes the gap
Current processes rely on operator-entered reason codes and PLC fault data — neither captures the visual context of events on the line.
Each root cause is directly addressed with intelligent automation.
Manual Root Cause Analysis
Investigation is time-intensive and dependent on tribal knowledge that doesn't scale.
Cause data should be captured in a reliable source, so there is no need to question the accuracy.
Faster & More Accurate RCA
Root cause analysis is faster and more accurate with AI-powered video context.
Manual Root Cause AnalysisIncomplete MES Context
Even complete MES data lacks the visual evidence needed to understand what truly occurred.
Video evidence would reduce investigation time, validate hypotheses with objective evidence, and focus efforts on the true root cause.
Visual Intelligence Layer
PLC data is augmented with new visual intelligence that fills the context gap.
Incomplete MES ContextInsufficient Classification
Downtime categorization doesn't have the specificity required for targeted improvements.
Deep analysis of micro-stop causes is not possible today.
Evidence-Based Insights
Decision-making is enhanced with clear, evidence-based insights tied to video proof.

Invisible problems can't be fixed.
Downtime becomes actionable insight.
This lack of visibility cascades across your entire improvement process.
Panoptes transforms downtime from an unclear event into a source of actionable insights to inform Root Cause Analysis.
Weak Pareto Analysis
Downtime rankings are inaccurate, sending teams after the wrong problems.
Better Prioritization
Corrective actions are prioritized with accurate, evidence-backed downtime data.
Weak Pareto AnalysisSlow Resolution
Root cause identification takes days instead of minutes, extending downtime events.
Effective Resource Allocation
Resources are directed where they matter most, guided by visual intelligence.
Slow ResolutionStalled Throughput Gains
Without visibility, sustained improvements remain out of reach.
Sustained Throughput Gains
Sustained improvements in throughput and line performance become achievable.
Stalled Throughput GainsPanoptes brings visibility to what was previously unseen.
By combining continuous video monitoring with AI and MES data, Panoptes identifies the conditions that lead to machine unavailability across the production line. Each downtime event is automatically captured, analyzed, and paired with synchronized video evidence and clear, contextualized insights.
Ask anything about the video clips and MES events in the selected window. The assistant only uses already-stored descriptions and events — no new video inference is run.

What's in a Name?
Argus Panoptes — The All-Seeing
In Greek mythology, Argus Panoptes was a giant with a hundred eyes scattered across his body. Even in sleep, some of his eyes remained open — he was the guardian who never stopped watching. The goddess Hera entrusted him to stand watch over what mattered most, knowing that nothing would escape his gaze.
That's exactly what this system does for your plant floor. Panoptes watches every line, every shift, every part — with tireless, consistent attention that human inspection teams simply can't sustain around the clock. It doesn't blink, it doesn't take breaks, and it doesn't miss the subtle defects that slip through at 3 AM.
A hundred eyes on your operation. Always open. Always watching.
