AI & Agentic · Digital Manufacturing

Connected manufacturing, run by AI agents.

Manufacturing data lives in silos — the controller doesn't talk to the ERP, the customer's voice never reaches the design table. Every system holds a fragment of the truth; PlinthosLab CONNECTED-CONTEXT weaves those fragments into one living picture — and puts autonomous agents to work across it.
From controller signal to design decision — one intelligent thread.

The factory runs on disconnected systems

Every layer of the manufacturing stack holds part of the picture — and none of them share it. The result is slow decisions, lost context, and a feedback loop that never closes.

The Platform

Meet PlinthosLab CONNECTED-CONTEXT (PCC) — one platform for the entire manufacturing chain

PCC unifies the manufacturing data chain into a single continuous thread, and runs a layer of governed AI agents across all of it — one product, built to deploy in a real plant.

How PCC is built

Four layers, one platform — each independently proven, designed to work as a whole.

Experience layer

Decisions, oversight, and action

Where people direct the agents, review what they surface, and stay in control of every call that matters.

Agent layer

Governed AI agents

Agents that perceive, reason, act, and learn across the thread — with human governance built in, not bolted on.

Data thread layer

One unified model of the plant

Real-time and historical data from every system, joined into a single contextual thread with lineage you can trust.

Connectivity layer

Plugs into what you already run

Adapters for controllers, historians, MIS, ERP, CRM, and PLM — over open standards like OPC-UA. No rip-and-replace.

Agents that work the whole chain

Not dashboards waiting to be read — agents that perceive, reason, act, and learn across the connected thread.

01

Quality & defect agents

Catch process drift at the controller before it becomes scrap, a warranty claim, or a recall.

02

Throughput agents

Read the line in real time, find the constraint, and re-sequence work before the bottleneck forms.

03

Reliability agents

Predict equipment failure from historian signals — schedule maintenance around production, not against it.

04

Voice-of-customer agents

Turn CRM and field data into structured design signals, and route them straight into the PLM.

05

Energy & sustainability agents

Tie energy draw to output and find the waste — lower cost and carbon from the same data.

Next

Design-simulation agents

Agentic simulation for PLM — closing the loop from field reality into the engineering model. On our roadmap.

Built to scale

From one line to the whole enterprise

The same platform, the same architecture — whether you start on a single cell or run a fleet of plants. Scale without re-building.

01

One line

Connect a single production line or cell. Prove one agent on one use case — fast.

02

One plant

Connect the whole facility. Multiple agents working the thread together, plant-wide.

03

Multi-plant enterprise

A fleet of plants on shared intelligence. Roll out across sites without re-architecting.

Designed to go live in a real plant

Runs in your own cloud

Deployed inside your environment — sovereign by default, no shared tenancy, you own the data.

Connects to your existing stack

The connectivity layer speaks to the systems already on your floor. No rip-and-replace to get value.

Adopt incrementally

Start with one line and one agent, expand across the plant as the value proves itself.

Why now

Three shifts are converging — and they make the unified, agentic factory buildable for the first time.

The data is finally reachable

Open standards like OPC-UA and the unified namespace mean shop-floor data can leave the silo without a rip-and-replace.

Agents can now act, not just answer

Modern AI can reason over messy industrial context and take governed action — the missing layer above the dashboard.

Manufacturing is the moment

A global push to rebuild manufacturing capacity needs software that is resilient, sovereign, and built to scale.

Built the way critical infrastructure should be

PlinthosLab CONNECTED-CONTEXT is the intelligence layer for end-to-end manufacturing.

We're building it with a small group of design partners shaping the product alongside us. If that's you, let's talk.
