Unified Data Models for Global Manufacturing
For Global Manufacturing Enterprises
Bridge ERP, MES, and PLM architectures on one collaborative canvas. Unify plant floor, supply chain, and product entities so engineering teams and AI agents build on shared business truth.
45-minute walkthrough of manufacturing data modeling with our architecture team
Proven at Enterprise Scale
Trusted by Leading Industrial Leaders and Regulated Enterprises
Enterprise data teams at global manufacturing leaders and regulated industrial operators rely on Ellie.ai to govern critical operational entities.
The Industrial Data Dilemma
Manufacturing Data Is Fragmented Across OT, IT, and Global Supply Chains
Plant-floor automation, legacy ERP systems, and supply chain tracking maintain conflicting definitions of materials, equipment, and orders. Disconnected silos stall modern smart factory and AI initiatives.
IT and OT Speak Different Languages
Operational technology on the shop floor (SCADA, MES, historians) and enterprise IT (SAP ERP, PLM, CRM) define assets, batches, and equipment differently. Reconciling telemetry with production costs takes weeks of manual spreadsheet mapping.
Siloed Pipelines Stall Industrial Data Products
When analytics engineers lack semantic manufacturing context, predictive maintenance, yield optimization, and Scope 3 emissions pipelines stall in endless technical rework. Every plant-level schema change breaks downstream reporting.
Industrial AI Agents Lack Governed Context
Generative AI, digital twins, and autonomous planning agents cannot interpret raw PLC or ERP tables without explicit semantic relationships. Without a governed business glossary, AI copilots produce hallucinations instead of actionable plant insights.
The Ellie.ai Solution
One Collaborative Data Canvas for the Entire Manufacturing Enterprise
Ellie.ai unites plant managers, enterprise architects, and data engineers around conceptual, logical, and physical data models with an integrated industrial business glossary.
Define core manufacturing entities—work centers, bills of materials, batches, and maintenance events—in a shared semantic canvas. Business owners and data modelers agree on definitions before building pipelines.
Reverse engineer schemas from Snowflake, Databricks, SAP, or 160+ source systems into standardized logical models. Automate SQL and DDL generation to deliver trusted industrial data products 20–30% faster.
Expose your manufacturing business glossary and entity relationships directly to LLMs, digital twins, and agentic workflows via Ellie's open API and MCP Server, ensuring verified, compliant operational intelligence.
From Fragmentation to Governed Architecture
Three Steps to a Governed Manufacturing Data Model
How industrial data teams align plant-floor terminology and enterprise architecture
Map High-Impact Manufacturing Domains
Use Ellie's Lumi AI assistant or intuitive visual canvas to model high-priority domains like predictive maintenance, overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), or supply chain visibility with operational stakeholders.
Standardize Across ERP, MES & Cloud Stacks
Connect to Snowflake, Fabric, or legacy industrial systems to reverse engineer existing schemas. Map physical tables to conceptual entities and maintain plant-specific sub-glossaries.
Deploy and Expose to Agents and Digital Twins
Export version-controlled models as Git YAML or DDL into your transformation stack, and enable AI agents and digital twin systems to query governed context via MCP Server.
Proven Enterprise Impact
Measurable Results for Regulated Enterprise Teams
Trusted by Enterprise Data Leaders
“Ellie.ai has been a foundational platform for us. Their open API let us onboard over 700 tables and 25,000 columns from Microsoft Fabric in an afternoon instead of months. The addition of an MCP Server is a game changer. It lets AI agents tap directly into that curated business context, so they can understand how your data is structured and build better data products with a real understanding of what lives where.”
Seamless Ecosystem Integration
Built to Integrate with Your Modern Data Stack
Ellie connects seamlessly to your cloud warehouses, transformation tools, and governance catalogs without disrupting existing manufacturing workflows.
Frequently Asked Questions for Manufacturing Data Teams
Ellie provides a vendor-neutral semantic layer where plant engineers, supply chain leads, and data architects collaborate on shared conceptual entities. By defining terms like 'batch', 'equipment work center', and 'bill of materials' in one visual canvas, teams eliminate semantic drift between shop-floor automation and ERP reporting.
Yes. Ellie's conceptual and logical modeling canvases are methodology- and standard-agnostic. Enterprise architects can readily import, adapt, or reference industry reference architectures like ISA-95 to establish standardized enterprise glossaries and logical schemas across discrete and process plants.
Ellie features pre-built connectors to 160+ business data solutions including SAP, Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, Google BigQuery, and Databricks. It also synchronizes metadata with governance catalogs like Microsoft Purview and Collibra, ensuring your modeling canvas and enterprise catalog stay fully aligned.
Through Ellie's Open API and MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server, AI agents and digital twin systems query curated entity descriptions, attributes, and relationships in real time. This ensures autonomous agents and predictive models generate accurate SQL queries grounded in governed manufacturing business rules.
Ellie supports real-time concurrent multi-user editing, visual commenting, and Git-integrated version control with branching and merging. Distributed teams across global manufacturing sites and corporate IT divisions can iterate on models without overwriting work or creating conflicting offline files.
Yes. Ellie is ISO 27001:2022 certified and compliant with GDPR. The platform supports role-based access control (RBAC), SSO via Okta, Ping, and Azure Active Directory, and never trains AI models on your private enterprise data assets.
