Detect
A configured PLC condition or machine event qualifies as something RootTruth™ should preserve.
TRIGGERPLC condition · Fault · Quality event · Generic machine stateHOW RootTruth WORKS
From a machine event to an evidence-led engineering decision.
RootTruth™ is designed to preserve the moments engineers normally miss, synchronize the evidence around them, and carry the investigation through to a documented and verifiable improvement.
THE EVENT JOURNEY
Five steps. One continuous investigation record.
Capture
Rolling video and PLC buffers preserve the evidence before and after the event instead of starting only after the alarm appears.
EVIDENCEVideo · Digital tags · Analogue signals · Event contextSynchronize
RootTruth™ aligns the evidence on a common timeline and correlates related events so engineers can follow the sequence.
CONTEXTPrimary event · Sub-events · Signal transitions · VideoInvestigate
The engineer reviews what changed, identifies the first meaningful cause and records the conclusion, resolution and actions.
WORKFLOWCase · Root cause · Resolution · Confidence · ActionsVerify & learn
Higher-tier workflows compare recurrence after the fix and retain the closed case as reusable engineering knowledge.
IMPROVEMENTEffectiveness · Recurrence · Reliability insight · Knowledge baseBEFORE. DURING. AFTER.
Capture the event window, not just the alarm.
The most useful evidence often appears before a fault bit becomes true. RootTruth™ is designed around rolling buffers so the pre-event sequence can be preserved alongside the event itself and the recovery that follows.
- Configurable pre-event history
- Configurable post-event recording
- Event-specific cameras and PLC signals
- Correlated events reuse the same evidence window where appropriate
PRE-EVENTEVENTPOST-EVENT
Evidence is preserved around the event trigger instead of beginning at the moment an engineer opens the software.PRIMARY + SUB-EVENTS
Keep the sequence. Avoid chasing symptoms.
When several alarms appear within seconds, the first meaningful event can easily be buried by everything that follows. RootTruth™’s correlation model is designed to preserve the order and group related events into one investigation context.

THE INVESTIGATION RECORD
Capture the conclusion as carefully as the evidence.
Root cause
Record the underlying cause, not just the first alarm somebody noticed.
Resolution
Document the repair, control change, maintenance action or process change that addressed it.
Confidence
Mark conclusions as Confirmed, Highly Likely, Suspected or Unknown instead of presenting uncertainty as fact.
Verification
For Intelligence workflows, compare recurrence after the action and determine whether the improvement actually held.
THE CLOSED LOOP
A solved event becomes an asset for the next engineer.
EVENT→EVIDENCE→ROOT CAUSE→ACTION→VERIFICATION→KNOWLEDGE
RootTruth™ is designed so investigation history becomes searchable engineering knowledge rather than disappearing into shift notes, messages or individual memory.
