AI-powered Manufacturing System Architect

Building AI-Native systems
for the factory floor.

I write about MES, industrial AI agents, and what it actually takes to make manufacturing intelligent, not just automated. Everything here will become a book.

Pit Stop

1 / 3 published

Short, practitioner-focused insights from the field — the real lessons from actually building AI systems on the factory floor. Each Pit Stop is a 3-part mini-series on one specific, often-misunderstood topic.

Pit Stop 1 · What Nobody Tells You About AI Agents in Manufacturing

1

Part 1: The Magic Assumption

AI Agents aren't smarter query engines. They're encoding the tacit knowledge that used to live only in experienced engineers' heads.

2

Part 2: Why Most Teams Get This Wrong

The common mistakes when building AI Agents on top of manufacturing systems — and why the tooling isn't the bottleneck.

Part 3: What Actually Works

A practical framework for building AI Agents that can actually reason about manufacturing context — not just run queries.
