Connect AI agents to industrial workflows without expanding operational risk

Govern agents connecting engineering, production, quality, maintenance, and supply-chain systems.

The landscape

Manufacturing agents may access product designs, supplier records, production schedules, quality systems, maintenance platforms, and operational technology. A mistaken action can affect not only data but physical production, worker safety, and product quality.

That changes the stakes of a mistake. In an office, a bad automated action is an incident report; on a plant floor, it can be scrap, downtime, or a safety event.

Agentic Fabriq separates reading from changing and fences every agent to its plant, line, and program — so analytics never quietly becomes control.

The stakes

Industry challenges

  1. 01A wrong agent action doesn’t just corrupt data here — it can stop a line, ship a defect, or put someone at risk.
  2. 02Analytics and controls run closer together every year; an integration meant for dashboards can be one hop from setpoints.
  3. 03Design files and process data are the crown jewels — and the export-controlled ones carry legal exposure.
  4. 04A supplier-facing bot can commit the company commercially with one unreviewed email.
Capabilities

How Fabriq helps manufacturers

Restrict agents by plant, production line, product, supplier, and engineering program.Industrial boundaries become access boundaries — an agent for one line, plant, or program ends exactly there.
Separate read access to operational data from authority to change equipment or schedules.Telemetry and schedules are readable without any path to altering setpoints, recipes, or sequences.
Require approval before safety-critical, quality-critical, or production-impacting actions.Actions that can stop a line, affect quality, or endanger people always pass through qualified staff.
Protect intellectual property and export-controlled design information.Design and process data carries its classification, and access follows program authorization — including export-control rules.
Bound supplier-facing agents to the relevant vendor and purchase relationship.Supplier communication stays inside the purchase order and vendor relationship it concerns, with sends reviewed by procurement.
Trace a production or quality action back through the full agent workflow.Quality investigations walk the complete chain — alert, analysis, decision, approval — in one record.
In practice

Featured workflows

logged

Predictive maintenance

Maintenance agents read sensor data and open work orders; changes to equipment remain with technicians.

logged

Quality investigation

Investigation agents assemble the production history around a defect without the ability to alter the records they analyze.

scope: scoped access

Production planning

Planning agents propose schedules within their plant and line scope; committing changes requires a planner.

approval: human approval

Supplier onboarding

Onboarding agents collect documents and draft records; activation and payment terms wait for procurement approval.

logged

Engineering knowledge retrieval

Retrieval runs within the requester’s program authorization, keeping export-controlled designs contained.

logged

Work-instruction assistance

Assistants answer from released, current instructions — never drafts or superseded revisions.

Core value

AI-driven productivity across plants and supply chains without giving software agents unrestricted control over physical operations or sensitive designs.
