Phase 2: Observations, Alerts & Triage

Status: Future phase — planned to build on Phase 1

Overview​

Phase 2 adds intelligence to the asset condition data captured in Phase 1. When readings exceed defined thresholds or operators note unusual conditions, Phase 2 ensures those observations get visibility, structured triage, and follow-up — without requiring operators to change how they work or losing anything in the shift handover.

Core Capabilities​

Thresholds and Simple Rules: Define acceptable ranges for asset attributes (e.g., "discharge pressure should be 40–50 bar"). When readings fall outside these ranges during operator rounds, they are automatically flagged for attention.

Observations with Severity: Promote free-form operator notes and flagged readings into structured observations with severity levels (low, medium, high, critical). This ensures important issues don't get lost in unstructured notes.

Alert Views for Supervisors: Dashboards show all abnormal conditions across the plant, grouped by severity, asset, or location. Supervisors and engineers can quickly identify what needs attention.

Lightweight Triage: For each observation or alert, supervisors can acknowledge it, add comments, mark it for follow-up, or query AI agents (Phase 3) for intelligent recommendations. The goal is simple workflows that fit into existing shift handover and daily review processes.

Why Phase 2 Builds on Phase 1​

Phase 1 establishes the data foundation: structured readings tied to asset attributes, with last known values and historical trends. Phase 2 layers intelligence on top of that same data without changing the underlying model. Operators continue to capture readings the same way; the system simply adds alerting and triage workflows for supervisors and engineers.

What Comes Next​

Phase 3 will add AI-powered insights by enabling natural language queries over observations, alerts, and asset data via MCP servers. See Phase 3 Features for more information.
