Custom AI Agents for Manufacturing Workflows

We design practical AI agents that help manufacturing SMEs reduce manual follow up, improve visibility, and support better decisions across maintenance, inventory, scheduling, reporting, quality, compliance, and daily coordination workflows.

The reality on the plant floor

Manual work that should not be manual anymore.

Small and mid-sized plastics and manufacturing teams are running production with tools that leave gaps. Here is where time and visibility leak out.

Maintenance follow up slips through the cracks

Reported issues sit in messages and notebooks. Half get fixed. The rest come back as breakdowns.

No inventory visibility until a shortage hits

By the time you know a resin or component is low, the line is already idle. Reorder windows get missed.

Scheduling lives in spreadsheets and chats

Production plans live in three places. Changes are verbal. Operators find out what changed when it is too late.

Reports arrive too late to act on

End-of-week summaries surface yesterday's problems. Managers cannot intervene on something they cannot see.

How we engage

Four ways to work with us, all rooted in one workflow at a time.

Every engagement starts with an assessment. We map the workflow first, then deliver working agents and ongoing support. No platform for your team to learn.

Agents we build

Explore example AI agents.

Each agent targets a single workflow and ships as a working tool. These are starting points. We build agents around your operations, your data, and your tools.

Agent 01 · MIA
Maintenance Follow Up Agent
Problem Reported maintenance issues lose visibility before they are actually fixed.
What it checks Issue type, machine history, and urgency relative to the production schedule.
Example output Prioritized maintenance task with a draft manager notification.
See the demo →
Agent 02
Inventory and Supply Check Agent
Problem Shortages on resin, components, or consumables get caught too late, after production is already affected.
What it checks Current stock levels, open purchase orders, recent usage rate, and upcoming production demand.
Example output Daily low-stock summary with a recommended reorder list, ranked by urgency.
Learn more →
Agent 03
Production Scheduling Support Agent
Problem Run plans, last-minute changes, and operator updates live across spreadsheets and chat threads.
What it checks Active orders, machine availability, changeover windows, and recent schedule changes.
Example output Clean daily plan with flagged conflicts and a clear change log for the next shift.

Agent 04
OEE and KPI Analysis Agent
Problem Operations reports arrive too late to act on, and the real trends in OEE and quality get missed.
What it checks Runtime, output, scrap rate, downtime reasons, and shift-by-shift performance.
Example output Daily OEE summary with the top three issues to look at this shift.

One agent in focus

Meet MIA, our first live example agent.

MIA is one of several agents we build. She takes a reported maintenance issue and follows it through, from operator input to a structured task, with the right person notified, every time.

  • Classifies issues by type: mechanical, electrical, process, or quality risk.
  • Checks issue history for the affected machine before assigning urgency.
  • Drafts a manager notification with risk, priority, and a recommended next step.
  • Logs every issue and tracks follow up status so nothing falls off.

Background

Built by someone who has worked the floor and the data.

UP Manufacturing AI is built on a background in polymer engineering, manufacturing operations, and ERP and MES research, combined with hands-on AI workflow development. Every agent we ship is designed for the way plants actually run, not the way slide decks describe them. The goal is practical: reduce manual work, surface what is slipping, and make follow up reliable.
