TYF · Text Your Factory
Text your factory.
Ask a question. Get an answer from your live data.
Your factory data already appears in a dashboard. TYF lets your team ask that data a question in plain language and receive a clear answer, with the supporting chart when it helps.
Pilot
- Ask in plain language and receive a plain-language answer — no query syntax or technical interface required.
- Read-only, like every sensor we install.
- TYF is currently in a controlled pilot with selected clients and their own facility data.
What was the water use in my facility last week, day by day?
Weekdays run about 40 m³. Saturday and Sunday still came in at 22 and 19 m³ with the factory down. That is baseline flow, not production.
Is my compressor running well?
Header pressure is holding. Run hours are climbing week over week at the same production volume, and that pattern is usually leaks in the distribution rather than the compressor itself. Want me to flag it for the maintenance review?
From the pilot
What people actually ask it.
These are five real examples from the pilot. Each was typed as an ordinary question or instruction — without building a query, filter or dashboard view.
- What was the water use in my facility last week, day by day?
- Is my compressor running well?
- Are there any data issues?
- Do a water balance.
- What has my air compressor done in the last few weeks?
The answer comes back the same way: a sentence a shift supervisor can act on, and a chart when the chart is the evidence.
Quoted from the pilot. They are printed as sent, including the ones that read like an instruction rather than a question, which is the point. §C.9.
No overclaiming
What it does today, and what is coming.
Conversational access to live client data is available in the pilot today. Reporting, guided setup, explanations and proactive follow-up are planned capabilities and are labelled accordingly below.
- Now / near-term
Per-user conversational access to your organization’s data
Ask in plain language, in the pilot, against your own live readings. Every user sees only what their account can already see in the dashboard.
- Coming
Reports
Ask for the monthly summary and get it written, not exported.
- Coming
New-user setup
Onboarding a supervisor by conversation instead of by ticket.
- Coming
Explanations
Not just what moved, but why it moved, with the evidence attached.
- Coming
Active follow-up
It notices the thing changed back, and tells you without being asked.
Nothing on this page is described as shipped until it ships. If you are evaluating TYF for your factory, evaluate the first row. DESIGN-SPEC §6.1 governs this page.
How it works
TYF uses the same live data your dashboard uses.
TYF does not create a separate source of truth. It provides a conversational way to access the monitoring data your team already uses.
- 01
The sensors are already there
The same permanent wireless sensors, existing meters and PLC tags that feed your dashboard. Nothing new goes on the wall for TYF.
- 02
It reads your monitoring data — not your control system
TYF queries the same platform your team logs into. It has no path to your control layer, and no ability to write a command back to any piece of equipment.
- 03
You ask like a person
There is no query language to learn and no need to build a dashboard view first. If you can ask the question out loud, you can type it to TYF.
The chart underneath the answer
Each reply is based on the same time-series data shown in the dashboard—the same intervals, baselines and flagged events. When TYF identifies a change, your team can open the supporting chart and verify it.
Read-only access is built into the architecture. Sensors and the monitoring platform observe the process but cannot send commands to the control layer, and TYF operates within the same boundary. §H.4 · hardware and platform specs are [TOM-REVIEW], §K.2 #11.

Want to ask your factory data a question?
TYF answers out of your own monitoring data, so it starts with the sensors. Our team walks your factory with you and tells you what is worth measuring first.
