Enterprise AI agents for manufacturing.

Agents that orchestrate SAP and Oracle ERP, chase supply-chain exceptions across sites, and turn inspection data into corrective action — operating on the IT side with a read-only boundary to OT. Built for multi-plant operations.

Coordination across systems, suppliers, and sites

Manufacturing runs on coordination, and the coordination is mostly manual. Planners reconcile ERP against reality, buyers expedite late purchase orders by phone and email, and quality engineers chase the same defect through spreadsheets at every plant. The data already exists — in SAP or Oracle, in the MES, in supplier portals, in inspection records — but it is scattered, and stitching it together is the job that keeps people late. That stitching is exactly what an agent does well.

An eeko manufacturing agent reaches across your ERP, supplier feeds, and quality systems, reconciles what they say, and acts on the gaps — drafting the expedite, proposing the inventory correction, opening the nonconformance — then routes anything that moves production to a planner or engineer. It runs on the IT and business layer, reading operational data through a one-way, read-only boundary so the agent can see the floor but never command it.

Agents wired into your ERP and plant systems.

Three hardened layers, built for multi-site operations and the OT/IT divide.

01 / toolingCORE
Tool-calling into manufacturing systems
Typed, permissioned connectors into SAP and Oracle ERP, MES reporting, WMS, and supplier portals so the agent reconciles and acts through controlled interfaces — with write-backs gated by approval.
  • SAP / Oracle ERP (BAPI / OData)
  • MES & WMS read integration
  • Supplier-portal & EDI access
02 / retrievalCORE
RAG on manufacturing data
Grounded retrieval over master data, bills of material, SOPs, work instructions, and quality records so every reconciliation and corrective action cites the part, routing, or procedure it relied on.
  • BOM, routing & master-data lookup
  • SOP & work-instruction retrieval
  • Quality / nonconformance history
03 / oversightSECURE
Audit, guardrails & human-in-the-loop
A read-only OT boundary keeps the agent off control systems, ERP write-backs require human approval, and every action is logged immutably — with inference able to run on-prem.
  • One-way, read-only OT boundary
  • Approval gates on ERP write-backs
  • On-prem inference, append-only logs

Where AI agents pay back in manufacturing

The clearest returns come from the cross-system coordination that scales with sites and SKUs:

  • Supply-chain exception handling — agents watch for late POs, shortages, and demand spikes, draft the expedite or reschedule, and surface options to the planner before the line is at risk.
  • ERP & inventory reconciliation — automated matching of material movements, receipts, and balances across SAP or Oracle and the warehouse, proposing the correcting entry for each discrepancy.
  • Quality & inspection — agents read inspection and defect data, open and route nonconformances, and assemble the corrective-action package, closing the loop from finding to fix.
  • Multi-site operations — a single agent layer that standardizes how exceptions and reporting are handled across plants, so every site runs the same playbook instead of its own spreadsheets.

Common questions.

How do AI agents apply to manufacturing?

AI agents coordinate the work that spans your ERP, your suppliers, and your plant floor — expediting purchase orders, reconciling inventory and material movements across SAP or Oracle, triaging supply-chain exceptions, and turning quality and inspection data into corrective actions. Each agent calls into your business systems through typed interfaces, grounds its decisions in your master data and SOPs, and escalates production-affecting changes to a planner or engineer.

How do you keep agents safe across OT and IT?

Agents operate on the IT and business side — ERP, MES reporting, supplier portals, and quality systems — and read operational-technology data through a one-way, read-only boundary so nothing on this layer can issue commands to PLCs or control systems. Every action is permission-scoped and written to an append-only log, write-backs to the ERP require human approval, and inference can run on-premises so plant and supplier data never leaves your network.
