How Merlin works

From the first alert to the fix, step by step.

Step 01 · See

The whole plant,

on one screen

One overview for every monitored asset, refreshed every 5 seconds. What is starting to fail shows up before it touches the batch.

  • Disk I/O, CPU load and disk space for every server

  • Network traffic in and out, live

  • Health of the services your applications depend on

  • Status, applications, incidents and maintenance in one place

Step 02 · Detect

Catches

what no one sees

A disk fills up. A service dies. A historian keeps running but stops recording. Merlin checks recording continuity minute by minute and raises the gap the moment it opens.

  • Recording continuity for every historian

  • An alert the moment a source goes silent

  • An incident opened with the evidence attached

  • Night-time checks on historians, services, CPU and network

Step 03 · Trace

The root cause,

on one timeline

The full disk, the silent historian, the missing data. Merlin lines up events from storage, the operating system, applications and the line, so you see what caused what, minute by minute.

  • Storage, OS, applications and lines on one time axis

  • Windows events and logs as evidence

  • Fully traceable: every event linked to its source

Step 04 · Ask

Just

ask

DaBEEnChe, Merlin’s AI, answers the way a person would, with your plant’s data. Every answer shows where it comes from. And if it doesn’t know, it says so.

  • Knows everything Merlin watches, and can connect to your MES

  • Answers with tables, figures and action plans

  • Its reasoning and sources, on every answer

  • Runs on local models

Step 05 · Act

Fixes known issues

on its own

When a known issue appears, Merlin acts: it restarts services, starts the recoveries you’ve approved or calls in our support team. Before production is affected, and often while you sleep.

  • Recovery rules your team approves, one by one

  • Automatic, or waiting for a person’s approval

  • Escalation to Adasoft’s GlobalCare 24/7 team

Step 06 · Remember

Your plant’s

memory

Engineers retire, but their experience shouldn’t leave with them. Every incident, every investigation and every fix that ever worked stays in Merlin. Knowledge that lived in one head now lives in your plant.

  • Incident reports by severity, category and status

  • Every fix saved, so the next one is faster

  • Incidents over time, for any period

Live demo

See Merlin working, live.

We have a working demo of Merlin and DaBEEnChe. Book a session and one of our engineers will show you how it watches, explains and fixes, on our demo plant or on your own systems.

  • A guided session with an Adasoft engineer

  • Our demo environment, or your own systems

  • Bring your questions and ask DaBEEnChe live
