VIBE Intent · Industrial AI / Workflow Orchestration

Turn raw industrial signals into intent-driven outcomes

MIStudio VIBE Intent lets manufacturing teams describe what they want – “keep tool uptime above 97%”, “alert when line scrap doubles” – and then visually wire together PLCs, SECS/GEM tools, OPC UA, MQTT, and AI blocks to make it happen. No monolithic MES project required.

Built by ErgoTech Systems – 20+ years connecting SECS/GEM tools, PLCs, and SCADA to real business outcomes.

What is MIStudio VIBE Intent?

VIBE Intent is a visual intent engine for industrial data. Instead of wiring tags to screens and alarms, you describe the outcomes you want – and MIStudio orchestrates the data, rules, and AI needed to deliver them.

Traditional SCADA and MES projects start from the bottom: points, tags, screens, then reports and dashboards. VIBE Intent flips the stack.

You start by declaring intent blocks:

  • 1
    “Watch this line’s scrap rate” and alert if it doubles in any 30-minute window.
  • 2
    “Keep wafers flowing to bottleneck tool X” and surface suggestions when upstream tools fall behind.
  • 3
    “Detect abnormal vibration signatures” and create a ticket with the trace and AI-generated explanation.

Each intent is wired to your real equipment with VIBE-coding blocks: visual nodes for SECS/GEM, EDA, PLC / OPC UA, MQTT, SQL, HTTP, and AI. You can stay no-code, or drop into JavaScript / Python where you want full control.

Under the hood, VIBE Intent combines:

  • A
    Visual flows drag-and-drop graphs that represent your plant logic and data paths.
  • I
    Intent blocks higher-level nodes that encode “what good looks like” for KPIs, alarms, and workflows.
  • E
    Embedded AI optional AI blocks to classify, summarize, and predict – without putting a black box in control.

Why it matters

VIBE Intent is built for plants that are too complex for dashboards alone, and too pragmatic for 3-year MES programs. It’s the missing layer between your equipment and your business outcomes.

Start from outcomes, not tags
Outcome-first

Most tools ask, “What tags do you want to trend?” VIBE Intent starts with “What do you care about?” – OEE, yield, throughput, alarms, safety, energy – then guides you to the data and logic required to enforce those intents.

Bridge OT, IT, and AI
SECS/GEM + OPC UA + MQTT

Connect decades-old PLCs, SECS/GEM tools, UNS topics, and cloud APIs into a single visual canvas. Add AI where it’s useful – anomaly detection, root-cause suggestions, natural-language summaries – while keeping operators in control.

Ship value in weeks, not years
Incremental wins

Deploy one intent at a time: a pilot on a single tool, then a line, then a fab. Reuse building blocks as templates so each new use case gets faster – with no forklift replacement of systems that already work.

How VIBE Intent works

A graph-based runtime powers everything you draw. Every box and line in the editor runs as a live, observable component at the edge, in your plant, or in your private cloud.

  • 1
    Connect to your real-world signals Drop in SECS/GEM, EDA, OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus, SQL, and HTTP connectors. MIStudio has decades of field-tested libraries to speak to semiconductor tools, PLCs, and industrial devices.
  • 2
    Define intents as blocks “Maintain this KPI”, “Detect these patterns”, “Create this workflow when conditions hold”. Each intent block encapsulates rules, thresholds, and optional AI calls.
  • 3
    Compose flows visually Wire blocks together: raw signals → pre-processing → AI / rules → actions. Actions can be alarms, dashboards, tickets, API calls, or commands back to equipment (within your safety envelope).
  • 4
    Deploy where it makes sense Run the same flow on an edge box at the tool, on a plant server, or as a container in your Kubernetes cluster. No re-coding. Same visual model, different footprints.
Latency-aware
< 100 ms edge-side decisions
Audit-ready
Every intent, versioned & logged
Safe by design
AI can advise; you choose where it can act
Template-driven
Clone a good intent across tools and lines
Open & extensible
Script in JS / Python when needed

You get the agility of a low-code platform, with the control and transparency you expect from engineering tools.

Who it’s for (and what they build)

MIStudio VIBE Intent is already aligned with semiconductor, electronics, and discrete manufacturing workflows – but the pattern applies to any process where uptime, yield, and traceability matter.

Built for teams who live between the line and the boardroom:

  • M
    Manufacturing & process engineers who know what “good” looks like on the line, and need tools that let them encode that knowledge without waiting for a software project.
  • O
    OT / controls teams who want to connect PLCs, SCADA, and tools to higher-level analytics and AI without compromising safety or maintainability.
  • D
    Data & AI teams who are tired of pulling CSVs from the plant, and want a live, governed way to deploy models and “agent-like” logic close to the process.
  • E
    OEMs & tool vendors who want to ship opinionated, AI-ready applications on top of their equipment without having to build a full platform from scratch.

Example VIBE Intent solutions our customers ask for:

Predictive maintenance on critical motors

Intent: “Warn us 3–5 days before failure-risk motors spike.” Vibration and current data stream into an AI block; when patterns cross a learned threshold, VIBE Intent opens a ticket and attaches the traces, context, and suggested checks.

Lot / batch quality guardrails

Intent: “Catch drifts in recipe parameters before they impact yield.” SECS/GEM or OPC UA data is monitored for slow drifts. When detected, VIBE Intent alerts both the floor and the analytics team, and pins the context in a single place.

Operator co-pilot for complex tools

Intent: “Give operators the next best action, not just alarms.” When alarms or combinations of states occur, AI summarizes likely causes and proposes actions grounded in your own SOPs – all surfaced in a simple, MIStudio-built UI.
