Solution Architecture
AI orchestration approach
Supply Chain Risk Mission Control - Configuration interface for initiating supply chain analysis with target component selection, analysis type options (Obsolescence Risk Analysis, Supply Chain Analysis, Alternative Search, or comprehensive Full Analysis), priority level classification, and optional context input. The AI Agent Network panel displays 6 specialized agents (Alt Sourcing, Risk Analysis, Orchestrator, Impact Analysis, Strategy, Documentation) with their capabilities including multi-source data aggregation, ML-powered risk scoring, semantic component matching, BOM analysis, and automated strategy generation. Connected data sources include IHS Markit, SiliconExpert, Digi-Key, Mouser, SAP ERP, and Component DB.
AI Agentic Workflow - Agent Workspace - Real-time monitoring of multi-agent collaboration at step 2 of 6, showing 78% completion progress. The active agents panel displays Orchestrator, Data Collection, Risk Analysis, Geopolitical Risk, and Sustainability & ESG agents, all with completion status. The Orchestrator Agent details show 3/10 reasoning steps, 4 tools utilized, 0 memory items, using Claude-3-Opus model with 4,096 max tokens at 0.7 temperature. Live event stream captures agent activities including Business Impact Agent thinking, autonomous actions for predictive analysis, tool-specific comparator operations, and alternative finder tasks.
Supply Chain Risk Analysis Results - Comprehensive risk assessment dashboard for MLCC-0402-10uF ceramic capacitor showing HIGH RISK score of 78/100 with 6-month timeline to EOL. Risk factors analysis panel details lifecycle status (95/100 degrading - NRND status confirmed via PCN), inventory availability (72/100 degrading - global stock declining with lead times extending), price volatility (68/100 degrading - consistent price increases over 12 months), alternative availability (45/100 stable - multiple alternatives identified requiring qualification), and supplier concentration (82/100 stable - single source manufacturer). The interface includes 21 tool calls, 20 data sources accessed, and 91% confidence level with options to view recommendations.
Executive Summary - Supply Chain Risk Intelligence - Critical alert banner shows component risk identified with active supply disruption requiring immediate action, including HIGH risk score (78/100), active supply alert, urgency timeline (7 days for LTB with TSMC alert, 105 days for production impact), and 8 AI agents deployed. Scenario summary displays input parameters (supply chain risk analysis for critical components at risk, multi-tier supplier network analysis, 8 specialized agents, geopolitical/market/sustainability data sources), process execution (multi-agent AI risk assessment completed in 34 seconds, 21 API calls, 9,500 tokens used, 3 geopolitical risks analyzed), and output results (HIGH risk level 78/100 with active supply alert, $4.2M revenue at risk across 8 products, 0 viable alternatives found requiring immediate assessment, 4 AI-generated insights, and recommended action to approve expedited dual-sourcing strategy with immediate LTB due to TSMC capacity alert). Key achievements highlight rapid risk assessment in 34 seconds, 8 AI agents collaboration, 0 alternative components identified, 1 critical geopolitical risk, and proactive risk mitigation with $4.2M revenue protection via mitigation plan.
AI Agents
Specialized autonomous agents working in coordination
Component Lifecycle Analyst Agent
Tracking lifecycle status (Active, NRND, EOL) across thousands of components from hundreds of manufacturers requires continuous monitoring that exceeds human capacity.
Core Logic
Monitors component lifecycle databases and manufacturer announcements for status changes. Identifies components transitioning to Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND) or End-of-Life (EOL). Calculates remaining procurement windows and last-time-buy deadlines. Prioritizes components by criticality, quantity requirements, and replacement difficulty.
Supplier Risk Assessment Agent
Supplier failures can halt production, but assessing supplier health requires analyzing financial statements, quality certifications, delivery history, and capacity utilization across a complex supplier network.
Core Logic
Evaluates supplier risk across multiple dimensions: financial stability (credit ratings, revenue trends), quality performance (PPM rates, certification status), delivery reliability (on-time metrics, lead time trends), and capacity availability. Generates composite risk scores with contributing factor breakdown. Monitors multi-tier supplier networks for cascading risk.
Geopolitical Risk Agent
Global supply chains are vulnerable to tariffs, sanctions, trade restrictions, and regional conflicts that can disrupt component availability overnight.
Core Logic
Monitors geopolitical events affecting supplier regions and trade routes. Assesses tariff exposure by component and supplier country of origin. Tracks sanction lists and export control regulations. Evaluates trade restriction risks and regional stability factors. Provides early warning alerts for emerging geopolitical disruptions.
Alternative Sourcing Agent
Finding replacement components requires matching electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications while considering qualification costs, lead times, and supplier reliability.
Core Logic
Searches component databases for form-fit-function alternatives. Analyzes specification compatibility including electrical parameters, package dimensions, and operating ranges. Evaluates alternative suppliers on price, lead time, minimum order quantities, and risk profile. Calculates total cost of qualification including engineering effort, testing, and documentation updates.
Market Intelligence Agent
Component pricing and availability fluctuate based on market demand, commodity costs, and supply constraints that are difficult to track across global markets.
Core Logic
Monitors real-time market data including commodity prices, demand forecasts, and supply alerts. Tracks industry-wide allocation announcements and capacity expansions. Analyzes historical pricing trends to forecast cost trajectories. Identifies optimal procurement timing windows based on market conditions.
Sustainability Assessment Agent
Regulatory requirements and customer expectations increasingly demand sustainable supply chains, but assessing supplier environmental and social compliance is complex and data-intensive.
Core Logic
Evaluates supplier ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) ratings and certifications. Calculates carbon footprint contributions by component and supplier. Tracks regulatory compliance including RoHS, REACH, conflict minerals, and emerging sustainability mandates. Identifies sustainability risks that could affect customer relationships or regulatory standing.
