AI agents for the plant office
Agents that turn RFQs into quotes, process purchase orders, chase suppliers and prepare quality reports. Engineers and managers approve every commitment.
Where manufacturing teams lose time
RFQs wait for estimators
Drawings and specs arrive by email, and quotes take days because estimators collate data by hand.
Orders rekeyed into ERP
Customer POs come as PDFs and emails, so staff retype them and errors reach the shop floor.
Suppliers need constant chasing
Material delays surface late because follow-ups depend on buyers remembering every open order.
Quality paperwork lags
Inspection records, non-conformance reports and certificates take hours to compile for each customer.
Agents built for manufacturing
Each agent does one job well, connects to the systems you already run, and stops for a person at the decisions that matter.
RFQ to Quote Agent
Reads RFQs, drawings and specs, pulls material and process costs from your data and drafts a quote with assumptions listed.
PO Processing Agent
Extracts line items from customer purchase orders, checks them against quotes and price lists and creates draft sales orders.
Supplier Follow-Up Agent
Tracks open purchase orders, asks suppliers for confirmations and dispatch details and flags at-risk deliveries.
Quality Report Agent
Compiles inspection data into reports, drafts non-conformance records and assembles certificates for each shipment.
Dealer Order Agent
Takes dealer and distributor orders and stock queries on WhatsApp, checks availability and books orders in the ERP.
Maintenance Log Agent
Turns technician notes and machine alerts into structured maintenance records and suggests spare part orders.

AI agents for manufacturing: common questions
Can AI agents prepare manufacturing quotes?
Yes. The RFQ to quote agent reads the enquiry, drawings and specifications, identifies materials and processes and pulls costs from your ERP and costing sheets. It drafts a quote with every assumption listed so the estimator can check it quickly. The estimator or sales head approves price and lead time before anything is sent. Complex or novel parts are flagged for full manual estimation.
Which ERP systems can the agents work with?
We work with SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally and in-house ERPs through APIs, database views, EDI or scheduled exports. Agents create drafts such as sales orders, purchase follow-ups or maintenance records, and your team approves them before they post. Where direct integration is not available, the agent prepares import files that your ERP already accepts.
Do agents control machines on the shop floor?
No. Our manufacturing agents work in the plant office and around it: quotes, orders, suppliers, quality paperwork and maintenance records. They can read data from MES or machine alerts, but they do not send commands to equipment. This keeps operational technology separate, and every agent action is logged and approved through XDQ AgentOS.
What does a manufacturing agent pilot cost?
A focused pilot such as PO processing or supplier follow-up usually sits in the USD 5,000 to 20,000 band and runs 2 to 6 weeks. Connected builds covering quoting, orders and quality typically fall between USD 20,000 and 50,000. Multi-plant programmes with deep ERP integration can reach the USD 50,000 to 200,000 band. Smaller proofs of concept start from USD 1,000.
From USD 49 or INR 2,999 a month. A person approves every step.
