How to Navigate Sight Machine Documentation

This documentation is your primary resource for using Sight Machine to connect, structure, and analyze manufacturing data. It is designed to support hands-on work in the platform, with clear guidance on workflows, configurations, and technical details.

Platform Update: On January 12, 2026, feature names in the Sight Machine Platform were updated. Some documentation may still reference the previous names while updates are underway. For clarity:

Factory Connect → CONNECT

Factory Build → STRUCTURE

Factory Analyze → ANALYZE

Factory Operate → OPERATE

App Builder → BUILD

Start with your goal

The documentation is organized around platform workflows and features. Start with your goal, then navigate to the section that best supports it:

• CONNECT: Connect and ingest data
  Data sources, connectors, APIs, and ingestion pipelines

• STRUCTURE: Model and transform data
  Schemas, models, and configuration details

• ANALYZE: Analyze and export data
  Queries, outputs, and downstream usage

• Integrate with other systems
  APIs, ODBC, and third-party integrations

Each section is written to support active use of the platform.

Follow Step-by-Step Guides

Setup and configuration articles include:

• Prerequisites

• Required settings and parameters

• Expected inputs and outputs

Follow steps in order when configuring something for the first time, and use linked reference pages as needed.

Use Reference Pages While You Work

Some pages are intended for quick lookup during active work, including:

• Configuration and schema references

• API endpoints and authentication details

• Data models and field definitions

These pages are most useful alongside setup, build, or troubleshooting tasks.

Navigate Efficiently

• Use the left-hand navigation to browse by functional area

• Use search to find specific features, fields, or workflows

• Follow in-page links to related setup steps and references
