Sight Machine

aid: sight-machine
name: Sight Machine
description: Sight Machine is an industrial AI company (founded 2011, San Francisco and Ann Arbor) whose Manufacturing Data
  Platform connects to plant OT and IT systems — historians, MES, ERP, PLCs, OPC UA servers and MQTT brokers — and builds
  a semantic model of the factory that AI agents reason over. The platform is delivered as a per-customer tenant at {tenant}.sightmachine.io,
  and exposes its production data through a versioned /v1 REST surface (Dashboard API plus datatab/selector data endpoints),
  a first-party Python SDK (smsdk), and a PostgreSQL-wire ODBC/JDBC connector. Edge ingestion runs through FactoryTX, which
  speaks OPC UA, MQTT, SQL and file/cloud-store protocols. Authentication is by API key and secret headers issued per tenant;
  there is no public sandbox, no published pricing, and the API reference itself is served from inside the authenticated tenant
  environment.

  description: REST endpoint that returns the fully-resolved values behind a Sight Machine dashboard, panel by panel, so dashboard
    data can be consumed by external enterprise applications. Authenticated with a tenant API key id and secret passed as
    X-SM-API-Key-Id and X-SM-API-Secret headers. Widgets must be configured for background loading before their data is reachable
    through the API.

  description: The /v1 datatab and selector surface of the Sight Machine Manufacturing Data Platform — cycles, downtime, parts,
    lines, raw data, machine types, machine schemas and KPI selectors. This is the surface the first-party Python SDK (smsdk)
    calls. It is served from the customer tenant host and requires an API key id and secret, or a session established by basic
    login.
