Practical AI agents for manufacturing workflows.

From plant floor follow up to analysis, coordination, quality, and compliance, we build practical AI agents around the workflows manufacturing teams use every day.

These are examples of agents we have built or can build. There is no finished software product to buy. Each agent is scoped, built, and tuned around your real workflow, your data, and your existing tools.
Category 01

Operations agents.

Day to day plant floor coordination. These agents take repeat, manual follow up work off your supervisors and managers so issues stop slipping through the cracks.

Maintenance Follow Up Agent

Captures issue reports, classifies them, and routes follow up tasks to the right person with priority.

Inventory and Supply Check Agent

Daily check on resin, components, and consumables. Flags shortfalls before they reach the line.

Production Scheduling Support Agent

Keeps the run plan in one place. Surfaces conflicts, changeover windows, and last minute changes.

Operations Reporting Agent

Drafts daily, weekly, or shift level operations summaries from the data your team already captures.

Downtime Tracking Agent

Logs every stoppage with reason codes, then summarizes patterns and recurring causes by line or shift.

Shift Handover Assistant

Pulls open issues, open tasks, and overnight changes into a clean handover note for the next shift.

Category 02

Analytical agents.

Making sense of the data you already collect. These agents calculate, compare, and surface patterns so the right people see what is actually happening.

OEE Guide and Calculation Agent

Calculates OEE from your existing data, explains what is driving each component, and flags what to investigate.

Cost Estimation Agent

Pulls together material, labour, machine time, and overhead to estimate the unit cost of a part or run.

Production KPI Analysis Agent

Tracks the production KPIs you actually use and surfaces shifts that move outside their normal range.

Downtime and Bottleneck Analysis Agent

Looks across downtime events to find the lines, machines, or shifts that limit your throughput most.

Quality Trend Analysis Agent

Reviews defect codes and inspection results over time. Flags trends and changes worth a closer look.

Scrap and Yield Analysis Agent

Watches scrap rates and first pass yield. Calls out runs, materials, or operators where yield drops.

Category 03

Quality, technical, and compliance agents.

Quality data, technical decisions, and audit preparation. These agents help your quality and engineering people review work faster and stay on top of compliance.

Quality Assessment Agent

Reviews inspection and process data for a part, run, or batch, then summarizes risk and recommended action.

Nonconformance Review Assistant

Drafts nonconformance reports from raw inputs and links them to history on the same part or process.

CAPA Follow Up Assistant

Tracks open corrective and preventive actions, follows up on owners, and flags overdue items.

Standards and Audit Readiness Agent

Helps manufacturing teams prepare for ISO 9001, ISO 13485, AS9100, and internal audits by tracking required documents, audit findings, corrective actions, process evidence, and follow up tasks. Does not guarantee certification.

Material Selection Assistant

Suggests candidate polymers or material grades for a given application, with notes on properties and trade offs.

Process Parameter Review Assistant

Compares current process settings against historical good runs and flags drifts worth a check.

Inspection Summary Agent

Turns inspection data into a clean, shareable summary with pass and fail breakdowns and exceptions called out.

Document Control Assistant

Tracks revision status of controlled documents, who has signed off, and what is approaching expiry.

Category 04

Business support and coordination agents.

Keeping the business side of manufacturing moving. These agents reduce manual chasing across email, projects, suppliers, and quoting.

Project Follow Up Assistant

Watches open project tasks across email, chat, and project tools. Reminds owners and surfaces blockers.

Email and Task Coordination Assistant

Reads incoming email, drafts replies, and turns commitments into tracked tasks for your team.

Procurement Follow Up Agent

Tracks open purchase orders, supplier acknowledgements, and expected ship dates. Flags slipping items.

Supplier Lead Time Tracker

Watches lead times over time per supplier or part. Flags suppliers drifting away from their quoted lead times.

Technical Sales Support Agent

Helps technical sales answer customer questions on materials, processes, and capabilities, with a paper trail.

Market and Competitor Research Assistant

Pulls together public market and competitor signals on a regular cadence into short briefs.

Quote and Costing Support Agent

Assembles costing inputs into draft quotes. Highlights inputs that are stale or unusually high.

Have a workflow that is not listed?

The four categories above are starting points, not a fixed catalog. If you have a manual workflow that is slowing your team down, ask us to scope a custom agent around it.
