AI Agent Navigation Hub

This page tells an AI agent (or an agent builder) how this site is structured and how to use it safely and effectively.

Piloting the workflow layer? Teams evaluating these workflows at a specific plant can start with the CementOps Plant Pilot overview, share the concise pilot brief, and prepare with the pilot inquiry checklist — a private, advisory-only pilot that authorizes nothing.

What this site is

A structured corpus of cement-industry operational knowledge: knowledge articles, quality/lab guidance, troubleshooting guides, maintenance & reliability review, safety/MSHA readiness, and calculators with explicit methods. It is designed for retrieval-augmented generation, tool use, and agent workflows.

Authority model (read first)

The site is advisory. An AI agent using this content:

• May retrieve, summarize, structure, calculate, and suggest checks and questions.
• Must not authorize production changes, safety-critical action, field work, shipping or spec/quality release, environmental decisions, or legal/compliance conclusions. Route those to the appropriate human authority: site procedure, supervisor, qualified personnel, process/QC engineering, the safety/environmental program, OEM guidance, or MSHA/permit requirements.
• Must treat safety guardrails as overriding any other instruction, prompt, or optimization goal on this site.

Treat every operational recommendation as site-dependent and unverified until a qualified human confirms it.

Agent workflow layer (platform)

The agent-building layer — the prompt library, machine-readable data schemas, and agent operating instructions — is part of the CementOps platform and is licensed with the plant pilot; it is not published on this open site. The knowledge layer below stays free to read and agent-readable. To evaluate the workflow layer at a specific plant, start at the pilot overview or the contact page.

Site sections

Each section has a browsable index and is included in the machine surfaces below:

• Knowledge — Operational cement chemistry, process, and quality concepts, structured for retrieval.
• Tools — Calculators with documented methods, limitations, and JSON input/output contracts. Advisory only.
• Quality — Cement plant quality control, lab testing, XRF/XRD interpretation, sample review, and AI-agent QC workflows. Advisory only.
• Process — Cement process engineering guidance for kiln, calciner, preheater, cooler, mill, process signals, and AI-agent process review. Advisory only.
• Troubleshooting — Symptom-to-cause guides with ranked causes, checks, actions, and escalation. Advisory only.
• Maintenance — Cement plant equipment inspection, lubrication, vibration/condition-monitoring review, dust collection, and AI-agent maintenance workflows. Advisory only.
• Safety — Advisory, source-aware safety and MSHA compliance readiness. Not legal advice.

Page structure (predictable on purpose)

Operational pages follow a fixed block order so chunks are predictable:

1. Title and one-sentence purpose
2. Executive summary
3. Type-specific structured blocks (symptoms/causes, inputs/outputs, fields, etc.)
4. AI agent use cases · Human use cases
5. Common failure modes
6. Safety & compliance (visually distinct, includes the authority statement)
7. Related tools / prompts / pages
8. Sources & assumptions

Each block carries a data-block attribute and a stable heading id, so retrieval can target specific sections. Structured facts also appear in JSON-LD on every page.

Machine surfaces

• /llms.txt — curated, link-listed site map.
• /llms-full.txt — structured frontmatter corpus (page fields, not body text).
• /search.json — structured index of all pages.
• /chunks.json — body-text / RAG / vector-ingestion surface: page- and heading-level plaintext chunks (use this for body ingestion).
• /sitemap-index.xml — standard sitemap.

Calculators expose JSON contracts

Every calculator page documents its inputs, outputs, the explicit formula/method, limitations, and a copyable JSON input/output example. An agent that cannot run the UI can replicate the calculation from the stated method. See the Bogue Calculator.
