AI Agents
Specialized autonomous agents working in coordination
Data Collector Agent
Quality investigations require gathering data from multiple disparate manufacturing systems (ERP, MES, SPC, QMS) which is time-consuming and risks missing critical information.
Core Logic
Autonomously gathers data from enterprise systems including ERP, MES, SPC, and QMS. Executes optimized SQL queries for historical defect and process data, retrieves lot/batch traceability information, collects SPC control chart data, and aggregates findings into a unified dataset for analysis with complete data lineage tracking.
Pattern Analyzer Agent
Identifying meaningful patterns and correlations in manufacturing defect data requires statistical expertise and analysis of large datasets across multiple variables.
Core Logic
Performs advanced statistical analysis on collected defect data. Calculates process capability indices (Cpk, Ppk), identifies trends using control chart analysis (UCL/LCL), detects correlations between process variables and defect occurrence, conducts Pareto analysis for prioritization, and generates correlation matrices for multi-factor analysis.
Root Cause Investigator Agent
Determining the true root cause of quality issues requires systematic investigation methodology, evidence validation, and elimination of alternative hypotheses.
Core Logic
Implements structured 5-Why analysis methodology for deep causal investigation. Collects and validates evidence for each 'why' level, classifies causes using 6M framework (Man, Machine, Method, Material, Measurement, Environment), tests alternative hypotheses with confidence scoring, and documents verified evidence chain for audit compliance.
Impact Assessor Agent
Understanding the full business impact of quality issues across financial, operational, and customer dimensions is complex and often underestimated without systematic analysis.
Core Logic
Quantifies comprehensive impact across three dimensions. Financial: calculates scrap, rework, warranty, expedited shipping, and customer penalty costs. Operational: estimates downtime hours and affected inventory (WIP, finished goods, in-transit, at-customer). Customer: assesses line stop risk, escalation level, and relationship impact.
Action Recommender Agent
Generating effective corrective and preventive actions requires understanding of best practices, realistic resource estimates, and prioritization based on risk and impact.
Core Logic
Generates structured CAPA recommendations in three categories: Containment (immediate), Corrective (short-term), and Preventive (long-term). Prioritizes actions based on risk severity and effectiveness potential, assigns ownership and deadlines, estimates effort and cost for each action, and calculates expected effectiveness percentages.
Compliance Checker Agent
Ensuring quality investigations meet IATF 16949, ISO 9001, and customer-specific requirements is essential for audits but complex to verify comprehensively.
Core Logic
Validates investigation compliance against multiple standards. Verifies IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 clause requirements are satisfied, checks customer-specific requirements for OEM customers (Ford, GM, Stellantis), assesses overall audit readiness percentage, and identifies gaps in documentation or process compliance requiring remediation.
Report Generator Agent
Creating comprehensive investigation reports in multiple formats (8D, executive summary, technical analysis) is time-consuming and prone to inconsistency.
Core Logic
Produces complete investigation documentation in multiple formats. Generates structured 8D reports with all required sections, creates executive summaries highlighting key findings and actions, prepares technical analysis reports with statistical details, and exports to PDF, Excel, and PowerPoint formats for stakeholder distribution.
