User guide¶
This guide is for the people who read what Artekis finds: plant managers, maintenance and process engineers, supervisors and operators. You need a browser and a sign-in to your plant's Ignition project. You do not need to know how Artekis is set up.
What Artekis does for you¶
Artekis watches your plant's own data and writes up what is worth your attention, the way a good engineer would after a careful look:
- What was found, in one or two plain sentences.
- The evidence: the charts and tables that prove it, drawn from your own historian and alarm journal.
- Why it matters, often with a cost.
- What to do now and how to prevent it.
It does not change anything in the plant. Every finding is a recommendation for a person to read and act on.
The pages you will use¶
| Page | What it is for | Guide |

| Findings | Everything Artekis has found, worst first. Start here. | The Findings list |
| A finding | One problem, read top to bottom, with its proofs. | Reading a finding |

| Ask Artekis | Ask a question about an area of the plant in plain words. | Asking questions |

Every one of these pages opens with a What this page is for box. Press Hide to fold it away once you know the page.
