AI-Native MES Architecture: UNS, Canonical Data, and Agents in the Loop

"Following our ProveIt! 2026 presentation ""Building Manufacturing's decision engine. Stop Arguing. Start Acting."" this workshop dives into the architecture powering our live demo. We will focus on the building blocks of Critical Manufacturing MES and what makes it different from other systems.

Key takeaway: We are built better because the focus on information and context - not only data - is our foundation, not an afterthought. Most vendors bolt AI onto legacy MES: we designed the entire stack to work as one system from day one.

Workshop breakdown:
UNS + ISA-95 backbone: Event-driven architecture with standardized payloads enabling real-time data sharing across MES, ERP, and CMMS

Canonical Data Model: Normalized production, quality, genealogy, and personnel data that AI agents can reliably reason across
