Agent OS for manufacturing
The agent operating system for manufacturing.
context/fab connects your operational data and know-how into a live graph of production context and permissioned actions. Those actions become governed tools for people and AI agents.
Context agent
One operating layer for people and agents.
A shared operational model.
Connect live data, assets, processes, materials, rules, decisions, and the actions available in each operational system.
Actions become agent tools.
Permissioned actions in connected MES, ERP, and other systems become typed tools that people and agents can use safely.
Every decision becomes context.
Outcomes — and the reasoning behind them — are written back to the graph. Each agent, use case, and plant starts from everything already learned, so the foundation compounds.
An operating system built on live context.
- Industrial data
Connect the systems you already run.
Connect MES, ERP, historians, PLCs, shop-floor systems, and documents without replacing the stack. Governed data products and lineage keep the foundation usable and accountable.
- Operational context graph
Turn factory data into production reality.
Model assets, processes, materials, orders, signals, rules, decisions, and available actions as a live view of how production actually works.
- Agent runtime
Give agents trusted ways to reason and act.
Actions in connected systems become permission-scoped tools. Agents can use them within the same policies, approvals, evidence, and audit trail as people.
- Bring your own agents
Give your existing agents more context.
Agents and copilots you already run plug into the same graph — and inherit grounded operational context, permissioned tools, and the audit trail. No per-agent integration project.
Autonomous operations for physical industries.
Every industry is moving toward autonomous operations — but the dominant levers shift by industry: quality, yield, throughput, traceability, changeover. The constant: agents can only operate a shopfloor they truly understand.
Automotive
Network-wide quality and throughput across heterogeneous plants and platforms.
Industrial Components & Heavy Machinery
Distributed plants, complex assemblies, scrap and rework under pressure.
Electronics
Yield, traceability, and ramp speed across plants and product lines.
Aerospace & Defense
Compliance-heavy production, complex assemblies, multi-site programs.
Consumer Products · Food & Beverage
High-volume lines, changeover cost, OEE and waste as the dominant levers.
Medical Devices
Regulated production, traceability, ramp and yield on complex assemblies.
Guardrails first, autonomy second.
Agents that touch production need harder guarantees than chatbots: scoped permissions, human approval on risky actions, and a full audit trail — inside a perimeter you control.
Your cloud. Your perimeter.
context/fab deploys into your environment. VPC, private cloud, or on-prem. Operational data never leaves the boundary you control.
Enterprise controls by default.
SSO, RBAC, granular audit logs. Encryption at rest and in transit. Least-privilege access enforced from the foundation up.
Compliant by design.
ISO 27001 certified. SOC 2 Type II (soon) and GDPR-aligned. Privacy and data-residency commitments built into the architecture, not bolted on.
Turn your operations into your competitive advantage.
The value workshop scopes the first outcome on the plant that matters most.
