Overview#

AI is a dedicated workspace where you can start conversations with available AI Agents. Select an Agent, enter a prompt, and use the response to support your work.

The available AI Agents and their capabilities depend on the configuration of your MES environment.

A standard MES installation provides CM MES Agent as the default agent. It helps you find and understand MES entities, documents, attachments, and manufacturing data.

Before You Start#

Make sure that:

  • The Generative AI Infrastructure is deployed and configured in the MES environment.
  • You have access to the AI.AskAI security feature.
  • At least one AI Agent is available in the environment.

For more information about access and setup, see AI and AI Security Features.

Start a Conversation#

  1. From the main navigation menu, select AI.
  2. Select an available AI Agent from the agent selector.
  3. Enter a prompt that describes the information or assistance that you need.

  4. Select Send to start the conversation.

    Main Navigation Menu AI Access

Provide the relevant context in the prompt. For example, you can ask the AI Agent to:

  • Summarize the points that you provide for an operator handover.
  • Draft a concise procedure from the steps that you provide.
  • Explain a procedure excerpt or an attached document.

Manage Conversations#

Use New Chat to start a separate conversation. Select a conversation from the history to continue it. You can attach files to a conversation when you need to provide additional context.

Specialized AI Experiences#

Some MES pages provide an AI experience tailored to a specific workflow. For example, a supported Grafana-based Analytics View can provide AI to generate or refine dashboards.
