BUILD a powerful tool that enables app developers to quickly create custom applications with seamless database access, designed to generate visualizations such as charts and tables. Developers can easily configure input parameters through Sidebar Pickers and write custom Python logic within Jupyter Notebooks to query data and implement custom logic. The result is fully customized applications that streamline the analytics workflow and deliver specific manufacturer insights.
How BUILD works
Build lets teams create custom manufacturing apps from a single prompt.
Prompt: Operations experts describe what they need in natural language — from a custom KPI explorer to an app for optimizing changeovers.
Build: Agents that speak both manufacturing and data science generate the application: data logic, workflows, and user interface — all grounded in the same real-time data foundation.
Deploy and Run: Apps are instantly usable, integrating seamlessly with Operate, Analyze, and enterprise IT systems. They run continuously, with options for model retraining, inference, alerts, and notifications.
Feature Benefits
BUILD enables manufacturers to transform operational data into purpose-built applications for faster decision-making and innovation.
AI-Crafted Applications: From a natural language prompt, agents generate fully functional apps by coding applications — dashboards, workflows, optimization tools, and even ML models — all grounded in the same data foundation.
Dual Fluency in Manufacturing and Data Science: Agents understand production processes as well as data science, ensuring that every app aligns with how plants actually run.
Custom ML at Scale: Build models and train on a schedule or on demand. Run inference in real time and embed results into apps and alerts.
Intelligent Automation: Build workflows that trigger alerts, generate notifications, and connect insights across Operate, Analyze, and enterprise IT systems.
Operations Empowerment: Designed for operations experts, not just engineers — giving the people who know their processes best the ability to create and extend solutions without waiting on IT.
Summary
BUILD transforms how manufacturers deploy digital solutions by enabling the creation of custom apps directly on the industrial data platform. Built to work with real-time, contextualized data, it integrates smoothly with other platform components like ANALYZE and OPERATE. With features such as drag-and-drop composition, pre-built templates, seamless data access, live previews, and support for ML integration, BUILD empowers operations teams and engineers to rapidly develop purpose-built applications — reducing reliance on traditional software development and accelerating digital innovation across the plant floor.
