By the Time the Report Lands, the Problem’s Already a Day Old
Most plants don’t discover problems when they happen—they discover them when someone finally compiles the report. HexaGrid OI connects operational data in real time, turning scattered signals into early warnings, recommended actions, and decisions before problems become delays.
HexaGrid OI — "By the Time the Report Lands, the Problems Already a Day Old"
Most plants don't find out about a problem when it happens. They find out when someone compiles the report.
A quality hold on the line gets logged on paper. A machine's OEE quietly drops for two shifts before anyone notices the pattern. A supplier's late delivery doesn't show up as a risk until it's already affecting the schedule. By the time any of this reaches a decision-maker, it's history not something they can still act on.
The gap isn't information. It's timing.
The data usually exists somewhere a PLC log, a spreadsheet, a paper QC form, an ERP record updated after the fact. The problem is that "somewhere" is six different somewhere, checked on six different schedules, by six different people who each only see their piece of it.
Where HexaGrid OI fits in
HexaGrid OI is DuneSpan's operational intelligence layer a real-time control tower spanning the supply side (orders, suppliers, inbound ETAs, inventory/OTIF risk), the factory side (OEE, downtime, quality holds, WIP, traceability), and the decision side (alerts, recommended actions, workflow tickets, close-loop confirmation).
AI detects the pattern,an OEE drop, a quality hold, a shortage risk — before it's been open long enough to become a report.
It predicts likely outcomes using context pulled from ERP, MES, SCADA, SOPs and maintenance logs, and recommends the next action: a CMMS ticket, a QC task — not just a flagged number on a dashboard nobody's watching yet. Ask it something like "why is line 2 always late on Project X?" and get a plain-language answer, not a spreadsheet you have to interpret yourself.
Built for where most plants actually are
Not for a perfectly digitized factory that already has everything connected. Built for plants running ERP systems like Odoo or SAP, a few IoT pilots, PLCs and SCADA, and a lot of manual logs — who need one place to see it all, without an enterprise MES project.
