Operations & Manufacturing Automation**Purpose**
1.2. Enable data-driven decision-making with automated aggregation and visualization, alert generation for anomalies, integration of IoT sensor outputs, MES, ERP, and reporting tools, streamlined data flows, and automated escalations based on detected thresholds.
1.3. Facilitate root cause analysis, OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) calculations, and maintain digital audit trails to ensure aerospace manufacturing quality and traceability.
**Trigger Conditions**
2.2. On IoT device status change, error, or threshold breach (temperature, vibration, output rate, downtime).
2.3. On new entry in MES/ERP machine logs.
2.4. On SCADA signal update or alert.
2.5. On receipt of system email, webhook, or message from edge device.
