Inputs

  • SCADA telemetry

    Real-time machine state, throughput, alarms.

  • ERP records

    Production schedule, maintenance log, inventory levels.

  • Operator tablet inputs

    Manual annotations, quality reports, downtime reasons.

Outputs

  • Routed alert

    WhatsApp + dashboard notification to the right supervisor.

  • Shift briefing

    One-page situation report at every handoff.

  • Audit trail

    Every agent action logged with reasoning + source data.

Responsibilities · Building blocks · Guardrails

Responsibilities

  • Watch production / maintenance / quality / inventory / energy
  • Generate shift handoff briefings
  • Route alerts to the right human via WhatsApp + dashboard
  • Coordinate across agents on cross-cutting incidents

Building blocks

  • LangGraph orchestration per agent
  • Shared Postgres event bus
  • Kafka stream from SCADA / IoT / ERP
  • Edge gateway for on-prem reasoning

Guardrails

  • No agent takes physical action — humans always pull the trigger
  • Every alert tied to source data with audit trail
  • Confidence thresholds tune per agent and machine class

Production metrics we target

  • Unplanned downtime reduction

    20–35% over 90 days

  • Mean time to detect anomaly

    < 5 minutes

  • Alert false-positive rate

    < 15%

  • Supervisor acceptance rate

    85%+ on briefings

Eval suite seed cases (day-one set)

  • Case 1 · Production drift detected → expect maintenance scheduler ping
  • Case 2 · Quality NCR cluster → expect quality-agent flag with affected machines
  • Case 3 · Stock below reorder level → expect inventory-agent alert + reorder draft
  • Case 4 · Shift handoff → expect one-page briefing within 90 seconds of cutover
  • Case 5 · Cross-agent: machine slows + QC fails → expect coordinated alert, not two separate ones

Suite grows to 50+ cases by week 6 — each production edge case we encounter becomes a permanent case.
