How this value is calculated

Facilis never hand-writes a dollar figure. Every line below is agent activity multiplied by the baseline rates your team entered at kickoff. Change the rates and every report in the PoC recalculates.

Milestones

12
  1. Day0

    Install edge agent

    Platform
    Apr 5 · 09:12

    Run the Facilis installer on any plant server with outbound network access. The agent auto-registers with your org and pulls its configuration.

    • Edge agent installed and registered
    • OPC-UA, Modbus, and MQTT adapters active
    • Historian adapter connected
    • CMMS adapter connected in dry-run mode
  2. Day1

    Discover devices and map tags

    Platform
    Apr 5 · 14:30

    Scan the OT network for PLCs, historians, and gateways. Facilis proposes an ISA-95 asset hierarchy and auto-maps discovered tags; you review and adjust.

    • Devices discovered on the OT network
    • Tags auto-mapped to the suggested asset hierarchy
    • Unmapped tags flagged for human review
  3. Day2

    Deploy first agent templates

    Platform
    Apr 6 · 11:04

    Install template agents from the industry bundle matched to your plant during onboarding. Each runs in shadow mode (no writes) until you approve it.

    • Template agents installed in shadow mode
    • Agent scope bound to the assets discovered on Day 1
    • Schedules and thresholds taken from template defaults
  4. Day3

    First scheduled agent run completes

    Platform
    Apr 7 · 05:55

    The first scheduled agent fires against live data and posts its output to the channel you configured at kickoff (Slack, Teams, or email).

    • Scheduled run completed successfully
    • Output delivered to the configured channel
    • Run recorded in Activity with full lineage
  5. Day5

    First anomaly detected on production data

    From discovery
    Apr 9 · 14:22

    A continuous agent flags its first real event. Source, timestamp, and evidence are pulled from live tags — the content is not pre-authored.

    • Anomaly detected by a continuous agent
    • Post-mortem drafted and linked to the source tags
  6. Day7

    Day 7 interim value report

    Platform
    In progress

    Facilis auto-generates a PDF summary of agent activity, hours returned, and value delivered so far. The calculation uses the calibration you entered at kickoff.

    • Agent activity aggregated over the elapsed days
    • Value derived from your calibration settings
    • Report PDF ready to forward to your director
  7. Day10

    Enable first live CMMS write-back

    Platform
    Upcoming

    Promote one agent from dry-run to live writes against your CMMS. This is the moment agents go from observing work to doing work.

  8. Day14

    Expand agent coverage

    From discovery
    Upcoming

    Based on the Day 1 discovery scan, additional template agents are recommended for the rotating assets, utilities loops, and quality stations found at your plant.

  9. Day18

    First compliance report

    Platform
    Upcoming

    Auto-generate the compliance audit trail for your regulated processes. The framework (FDA 21 CFR Part 11, ISO 9001, GxP, etc.) is picked from the list you selected at kickoff.

  10. Day21
