Implementation

Start with one site. Prove value before scale.

A focused, low-risk approach gives operations, IT, OT, security, and leadership the evidence they need before broader rollout decisions.

Pilot work starts where operators already perform rounds, checks, and shift-critical tasks.

Pilot path

A pilot path built to produce a decision.

The pilot path is deliberately practical: align on one useful workflow, validate the data and governance path, go live with frontline users, then decide what is ready to expand.

01

Discover

Align on goals, site scope, source systems, current workflow, owners, and success criteria.

Typical: ~1–2 weeks. Your team: ~4–6 hrs (ops + IT).

02

Validate

Confirm read-only access, source quality, data ownership, workflow fit, and approval path.

Typical: ~2–3 weeks. Your team: ~8–12 hrs (IT/OT + security review).

03

Pilot

Go live with frontline users, capture real work, monitor adoption, and measure usefulness.

Typical: ~4–6 weeks. Your team: light, mostly frontline use.

04

Decide

Review adoption, data quality, governance fit, operational evidence, and readiness to expand.

Typical: ~1 week. Your team: a single review session.

05

Scale

Extend to the next workflow or site. Add Analytics only after Live has earned trust.

Ongoing, sequenced by evidence.

Pilot principles

  • Read-only by design.
  • Fast to value, focused by scope.
  • Frontline-involved from day one.
  • Measured against proof artifacts.

Success signals

  • Adoption by operators and supervisors.
  • Data quality strong enough for review.
  • Operational impact visible in records.
  • Governance ready for expansion.

Readiness gates

Operational credibility comes from the gates.

A serious pilot should make the next decision easier. LIMIS keeps the work tied to specific owners, workflows, access patterns, and proof artifacts.

Scope

Which workflows, stations, readings, teams, and proof artifacts are included.

Owners

Who owns workflow design, access approval, training, review, and expansion.

Data path

Which approved endpoint is used, what is read, and how source ownership is preserved.

Decision

What proves adoption, usefulness, governance fit, and readiness to expand.

What a pilot includes

Clear scope. Predictable cost.

A pilot is a fixed, bounded engagement — not an open-ended project. You know what is included and what it costs before you start.

In scope

One site, one workflow, the read-only source connection, operator and supervisor onboarding, and a pilot proof report.

Commercials & support

Fixed pilot fee, defined support response times, and an availability target. See Pricing for the model and Security for uptime and SLA detail.

Expansion model

Expansion should follow evidence, not urgency.

LIMIS is strongest when each site or workflow earns the next move. That keeps the implementation grounded in trust and gives sponsors a clear way to compare options.
