01 · The use case to start with and the one to defer

High value, available data, no decisions about people

Use case to start with

A plant technical assistant with manuals, procedures and maintenance logs, inside a perimeter with no internet connection, for engineering and operators.

Use case to defer

Real-time process control.

What is already happening in the sector

Only 4.8% of Mexican manufacturers with ten or more workers use AI (Centro México Digital with the 2024 Economic Census). The parent company forbids uploading process data to the public cloud and specialized talent is scarce.

What the committee will review

D

Data the first use case touches

Manuals, procedures, logs and process intellectual property. It never leaves the perimeter.

R

Regulator and obligation

Q

Who decides the purchase

Plant and engineering director; global technology approves.

E

Deployment option

A, with no internet egress.
