Rewrite AssistAvailable

An industrial copilot that never lies and rarely interrupts.

A safety-first AI assistant for plant-floor operators. Every answer cites its source. Every interruption clears a high bar. Built on Ignition SCADA, evaluated end-to-end with measurable guarantees.

What is Rewrite Assist?

The copilot that watches the plant with the operator.

Rewrite Assist sits inside Ignition, the SCADA software that runs ~65% of the Fortune 100's factories. It does two jobs.

Reactive

When an operator asks a question, it retrieves relevant manuals, plant data, and procedures — and answers with citations to every source.

Proactive

It watches the live process and whispers when something needs attention — but only if a similar pattern historically led to a problem, and only if the operator isn't already looking at it.

Section 1 · The Problem

Industrial copilots fail in two opposite ways.

Every major automation vendor shipped a copilot in the last 18 months. None of them solve these.

Problem 1 · Hallucination
The copilot makes things up.

LLMs confidently state false facts. On a plant floor, a misstated setpoint or fabricated alarm priority is a safety event. Operators stop trusting the copilot the first time it lies.

"The model said the discharge pressure should be 87 PSI. The manual says 47. We almost ran the line into surge."
Problem 2 · Interruption
The copilot will interrupt too much.

The moment any copilot goes proactive on the HMI, ANSI/ISA-18.2 bites. The standard defines an alarm flood as more than 10 alarms in 10 minutes. The Texas City Refinery disaster killed 15 people because of alarm overload.

"It pinged me 9 times in the first hour. I muted it on day two."
Section 2 · What's New

Three innovations. Each one measured.

These are the contributions of the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics paper. Each is novel, each has a number behind it.

Section 3 · State of the Art

🟢 Proactive · Pump P-204 discharge pressure trending +12% over last 40 min. Pattern matches 3 prior pre-surge events.

Why is the pump in alarm? What should I check first?

P-204 is showing high discharge pressure (current: 94 PSI, setpoint: 80 PSI). Based on your historian, the last two times this pattern occurred the root cause was a partially closed isolation valve on the suction side.

  • →Check isolation valve V-114 (suction side)
  • →Verify minimum flow bypass is open
  • →Review impeller wear indicator — last replaced 14 months ago

What's the procedure for resetting V-114?

Isolation valve V-114 reset procedure (3 steps):

  • →Confirm pump is at minimum flow (< 20% rated capacity)
  • →Slowly open V-114 counter-clockwise — 2 full turns max per minute
  • →Monitor DISCH_PRESS for 90 seconds; target ≤ 82 PSI
