AI on the shop floor without losing the IP.

Manufacturing agents touch the deepest IP and the most safety-critical systems on the floor. Kosmoy's Agent Registry binds each agent to its plant, its allowed equipment and its allowed actions. A maintenance copilot at one plant doesn't read another plant's recipe book; an agent that suggests work orders cannot dispatch them automatically without explicit authorisation.

The Action Capsule shows up here for the agents that interact with MES, CMMS or SCADA-adjacent systems. Pre-flight authorisation enforces that the agent can read the work-order system but only write back through the approved API path. The Insights Dashboard surfaces patterns: which copilots accelerate junior technicians, which agent versions correlate with lower MTTR, which retrieval scopes need expansion.

Manufacturing benefits from Kosmoy's deployment model more than most: on-prem and per-plant Kubernetes clusters work well for OT-adjacent installations. The AI Inventory captures every agent across plants — useful when CSRD or NIS2 reporting demands a single view. The Gateway centralises model access so that fine-tuned SLMs running on a plant GPU live alongside frontier models gated for non-IP-sensitive uses.

The economics of running open-weight models on plant-local GPUs versus paying frontier-model rates per call are decisive at manufacturing volumes. Kosmoy's LLM Router routes simple maintenance Q&A to the local SLM and reserves frontier capacity for the harder root-cause cases. Cost Tracking attributes every call to the plant, line and shift.
