Command Layer · FactoryOS AI Agents

From techpack to shipped order — five AI agents running your pre-production.

FactoryOS AI Agents Suite compresses the 67% of lead time no factory currently controls. Five interconnected agents — Merchandising, Costing, Procurement, Planning and Logistics — autonomously handle 80%+ of operational decisions. Humans stay in control, intervening only on exceptions.

The opportunity

Three interlocking problems erode every margin you make.

Merchandising, costing, procurement and planning operate in silos with no shared system of record. The factory of the future doesn't push harder — it's connected enough to see what's hiding upstream.

🧩

Fragmented coordination

Merchandising, costing, procurement and planning operate in silos with no shared system of record — duplicated effort, missed handoffs.

⏳

Uncontrolled lead time

The raw-material procurement phase (Customer PO → RM receipt) is 67% of total lead time and managed manually — materials arrive 30–90 days late.

🔍

Visibility gaps

Factory management has no real-time view of order status, material readiness or delivery risk until it's too late to course-correct.

Vector DB semantic match — Gold record
Every material record passes through the LLM Adjudicator — semantic-similarity deduplication, UUID assignment — before any PO can be written. The Vector DB layer is the data-quality firewall.

Plani8 — Planning Agent
Dynamic capacity planning & pre-production gating
Schedule re-optimised. RM ETA for PO-2241 slipped 4 days (vendor confirmed). Impact: Order HS-442 cut date pushed 16 → 20 May.
Can we hold the buyer commitment?
Two options: (A) Sequence HS-440 (in stock) ahead — saves 3 days; new cut: 17 May. (B) Expedite RM via air freight — +$2,400 cost, saves 4 days.
Recommended: Option A. Changeover cost: $180 (Line 2 setup). Net: still meets buyer ship date with $2,220 saved vs. air freight.
Notifying: Merchandising Agent (buyer comms draft) · Procuri8 (no expedite needed) · Production team (Line 2 sequence change).

Cross-validated against Gold record
The Supervisor never acts on its own — it routes, coordinates and waits for human approval on anything above the configured risk threshold. Every action is reviewable, reversible and logged.
Under the hood

An orchestrator / supervisor architecture, on a VDM foundation.

The data layer is deployed first — before any agent goes live. Bronze → Silver → Gold → Vector DB. No agent writes to ERP/MES until data has been validated against the Gold layer.

01 · AI LAYER

Multi-model orchestration

Anthropic Claude for reasoning & orchestration. Specialised models for SAM calculation and techpack vision. Embedding models powering the Procuri8 Vector DB.

02 · AGENT LAYER

Supervisor-managed specialists

A central supervisor routes user requests, manages multi-step state, and orchestrates handoffs. Each specialist has its own context, tools and domain knowledge.

03 · DATA LAYER

The VDM refinery

Bronze (raw) → Silver (normalised) → Gold (deduplicated UUID-mapped reference) → Vector DB (semantic search + data-quality firewall before every ERP write).

04 · INTERFACE

Chat + dashboard

Natural-language chat for queries, action triggers and approvals. Structured dashboards for KPI tiles, order tables, capacity charts. Multi-language out of the box.

05 · INTEGRATION

REST / GraphQL APIs

The VDM layer abstracts agent logic from source-system differences. ERP/MES write-backs always require explicit human approval — never silent.

06 · SAFETY

Human-in-the-loop, always

Every action is visible, reviewable and reversible. Confidence scores on every output. Risk-threshold-based approval gating. Immutable audit log for 5+ years.

Map this to your factory in 30 minutes.

We'll walk through the agents most relevant to your category and order mix — and show what a deployment timeline would look like for you.
