AI for operations,
connected to the systems you already run.

Effi connects at the edge to historians, SCADA, ERP, MES, and legacy databases, then maps them with a proprietary exploration agent. Messy data becomes decisions in days, not months.

Effi

Effi is listening.

Pick a question below. The response is canned, but the pattern is real: Effi connects to operational systems and explains what it finds.

Your operations are full of data. Effi turns it into decisions.

Effi reaches across the messy reality of real operations: OT, IT, old databases, quality records, shift notes, and the systems your teams already trust.

The Difference

Built for operations. Designed for messy systems. Ready for real security constraints.

A proprietary exploration agent

It learns your databases, tags, schemas, and field meaning on its own, so teams get value before a single source is manually modeled. Time-to-value drops to practically zero.

Connects at the edge, OT to IT

PLCs, historians, SCADA, MQTT streams, ERP, CMMS, MES, documents, and legacy SQL boxes. Effi reaches data right where it lives, including the edge devices most tools can't touch.

Agentic, not just chat

Effi can query systems, compare events, draft work orders, prepare reports, and trigger approval-based workflows.

Runs where operations need it

Deploy in your environment, behind your firewall, or fully air-gapped when required. Cloud is optional, not assumed.

Chat is one door. Effi has a few.

Your team can work with Effi from the browser, from Outlook, from schedules, or from triggers your team defines. Same agent, same perimeter, same approval rules.

Chat

Ask in the browser when you want an interactive investigation.

Email

Send Effi a normal email and get a researched reply in Outlook.

Scheduled work

Generate shift reports, daily summaries, and recurring checks automatically.

Triggered actions

Start workflows when approved events happen: alarms, quality drift, asset risk.

Approval-gated writes

Draft work orders and actions, then wait for the right person to approve.

The channel changes. The architecture does not. Whether Effi answers in chat, replies by email, runs a scheduled report, or reacts to a trigger, every tool call is logged and any write action stays permissioned and approval-gated.

Pump 14 — should we worry?

Effi, Pump 14 vibration looked weird overnight. Can you check the historian, compare it to similar pumps, and tell me if I should open a work order?

Re: Pump 14 — should we worry?

Short answer: yes, but not panic-yes. Vibration crossed the early-warning band twice between 02:10 and 03:05. The closest match is Pump 12, 31 days before its bearing replacement.

Effi attached the work

  • Checked historian tags: vibration, temperature, current draw.
  • Compared against 18 similar pump events.
  • Drafted SAP PM work order WO-24891 for maintenance approval.
  • No writes were made. Approval required before anything touches SAP.

A box. Or your box. An agent.

  1. 1

    Choose how you deploy.

    Run Effi where operations need it: on-site behind your firewall, connected across OT and IT, or fully air-gapped when policy requires it.

  2. 2

    Effi connects to your systems.

    From edge devices and PLCs to historians, SCADA, ERP, MES, documents, and legacy SQL boxes, Effi connects where your data lives. Its exploration agent then maps each source automatically, with no manual schema modeling.

  3. 3

    Your team asks. Effi gets work moving.

    Operators ask in natural language. Effi explores data, compares events, drafts work orders, prepares reports, and logs every tool call — with writes gated by permissions.

Day one · what your team sees

Open a browser inside operations. Ask, approve, act.

No new app to roll out, no training course. Effi lives at a URL on your internal network — pinned chats, saved automations, work-order drafts, shift reports, and governed actions your team can approve before anything touches an operational system.

Built for the systems you already run.

Spoiler: yours is probably on the list.

Don't see your system? Our connector framework supports custom REST and database integrations. We probably already have the patch ready.

Built for operational environments with real security constraints.

On-site by design

Effi can run inside your environment, close to the systems and data it needs. For sensitive sites, it can be deployed without sending data to the cloud.

Human approval stays in the loop

Effi can draft actions and recommendations, but writes to operational systems remain permissioned and approval-gated.

Every action is auditable

Queries, tool calls, recommendations, approvals, and write attempts are logged for traceability, compliance, and operational review.

Built for operations where data is messy, critical, and distributed.

SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, AS9100, FDA 21 CFR Part 11. The certifications your auditors already expect.

Built for your environment

Designed by people who understand operational systems, not generic AI wrappers that assume your data is already clean and centralized.

Let's start with one site.

Start with one site, one set of systems, and real operational questions. In 60–90 days, we'll show you how Effi works on the data you already have, in your environment, with your team.

  • Scoped pilot, written goals, named outcomes
  • Live on your data inside 60–90 days
  • Fixed pilot price · annual lease thereafter
  • Walk-away clause: no fit, no commitment
