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.
