AI for Manufacturing & ERP

Multi-agent ops, predictive maintenance, document automation, AI-native ERP.

Manufacturing is where we have the deepest reps — Alian Software's flagship ERP serves manufacturing clients, and we've built multi-agent operations systems running 24/7 on real plant floors. We bring the patterns, the guardrails, and the deployment playbook.

Common problems we solve

  • Plant data is rich but siloed across SCADA, ERP, MES, and operator log sheets
  • Reactive maintenance — machines go down, then humans scramble
  • ERP power is locked behind layered menus; leadership never opens it
  • Document-heavy workflows (POs, invoices, QC reports) eat senior time
  • Shift handoffs lose context every 8 hours

Sample builds for Manufacturing

  • AI Agents & Automation

    Multi-agent operations system

    One agent per role you'd hire if you had infinite humans. Production, maintenance, quality, inventory, energy, briefing — coordinating through a shared event bus.

  • Data & Intelligence

    Predictive maintenance

    Classical ML (LightGBM) over SCADA/IoT telemetry. Retrained weekly. Surfaces alerts before downtime happens.

  • Custom AI Apps & Chatbots

    AI-native ERP layer

    Natural-language query agent over your ERP. Anomaly detection on cost drift, stock ageing, receivables. Suggestion engine with human approval workflow.

  • AI Agents & Automation

    Document automation

    PO/invoice/QC-report extraction with structured-output prompting + validation. Routes exceptions to humans, posts clean ones automatically.

Why teams pick us for Manufacturing

  • Alian Software's ERP heritage — we already understand BOMs, MRP, stock ledgers, GL postings
  • We can run on-prem when data residency demands it (edge gateway + cloud reasoning)
  • Audit-traceable AI — every action ties back to source records, non-negotiable for finance

FAQ

  • Can you deploy on-prem? Our IT won't allow plant data in the cloud.

    Yes. Edge gateways (NUC-class hardware) handle real-time data + the agent reasoning loop on-site. Cloud is used only for model inference, and we can swap in a hosted open-source model when even that isn't allowed.

  • How do you integrate with our existing ERP / SCADA?

    REST/SOAP APIs where they exist, direct Postgres reads when they don't, Kafka or OPC-UA for real-time streams. We've connected Alian Infinity, SAP, Oracle, Tally, and a handful of bespoke systems.
