Most factory data architectures today serve between 10 and 50 consuming systems. Agentic AI will push that number into the thousands, a 100x increase in edge-based data consumers. The ISA-95 layer-by-layer model was not designed for this volume, and manufacturers need to rethink their data infrastructure before scaling AI agents. IDC reports that 56.6% of […]

AI agents are rapidly transforming industries, and manufacturing is no exception. While initial applications focused on optimizing HR, finance, legal, and claims management, AI agents are now driving significant improvements in core manufacturing operations.These intelligent systems generally take two forms: Independent AI agents that operate autonomously, handling complex, end-to-end tasks with minimal human input. Collaborative […]
