Brand and Identity
The Ingot name and identity share one metaphor: production events, inspection records, and production context submitted by source adaptation are ore; Ingot smelts them into standardized, trustworthy, stackable production records.
This document defines Ingot brand positioning, naming assets, and identity-use rules.
Mark meaning
The mark stacks three ingot cross-sections (trapezoids):
- two steel ingots: accumulated event history—append-only records that build over time;
- one gold ingot: the newest record, with a reflective line for its recency;
- equal gaps between ingots: events are discrete records, not a continuous stream.
The silhouette remains recognizable at 16px and is suitable for favicons, terminal marks, and ecosystem icons.
Tagline:
Ingot — Turn scattered plant data into a complete production history. 把分散数据整理成完整生产履历。
Brand position
- Category: Manufacturing Data Collection & Process Analysis Platform / 制造数据采集与工艺分析平台
- Primary users: Production, process, quality, equipment, and IT roles in manufacturing, especially teams that need independent deployment
- Product architecture: Ingot is the platform brand; Ingot Chat is the main workspace for engineers; quick queries show production records, while combined analysis compares parameters and lists possible causes
- Value chain: Connect equipment and business systems → combine production processes and inspection results → build a production history → query abnormalities or run combined analysis → engineer confirmation
- System boundary: MES can be a source or integration target, but is not a runtime prerequisite; Ingot is not defined by scheduling, order execution, inventory, or attendance
Public wording leads with production-process collection, inspection-result linkage, parameter comparison, and possible-cause analysis.

Use rules
- Use
ingot-mark.svgon light backgrounds andingot-mark-dark.svgon dark backgrounds; use<picture>where theme adaptation is available. - Minimum display size is 16px; maintain clear space of at least half an ingot height.
- Preserve the three-ingot proportions, positions, and palette; do not add outlines, shadows, or skew.
- The wordmark font is
Inter/Segoe UIBold fallback; use#1F2933on light and#EDF1F5on dark backgrounds.
