What AI agents can do in manufacturing and distribution

Ask your sales and inventory data in plain language, automate repetitive operations, support your distributor network. This is what an AI agent can do across manufacturing and distribution, with your commercial data staying inside your own systems.

Inside your own systems Commercial data never leaves Every action recorded Scoped access per distributor
These are workflows an AI agent can run. The exact scope is defined with your team
WHAT AI AGENTS CAN DO

Three workflows, from quick win to company-wide

Start with one workflow that pays for itself, then expand on the same private, governed platform. No new vendor cycle each time.

01 · START · ASK YOUR DATA

Ask your sales and inventory data

NL→SQL over the ERP and data warehouse. "How much did SKU X sell by channel and distributor last quarter?" Answered directly, without a BI ticket or an analyst in between.

02 · EXPAND · OPERATIONS

Repetitive operations on small models

Invoice matching, supplier validation, purchase-order handling, and distributor support, answering the network on price, stock and terms against your commercial policy.

03 · SCALE · SUPPLY CHAIN

Supply-chain copilot

RAG over catalogs, contracts and spec sheets plus NL→SQL over demand: detect stockouts, prepare distributor-compliance reports, fully governed so each distributor or area sees only its own data.

SCOPE

These are workflows a Fogoarai AI agent can run across manufacturing and distribution. They are illustrative of the capability. The exact workflow, systems and success metric are defined with your team. Fogoarai already has use cases running in production today.

HOW FOGOARAI DOES IT

The same engine behind every workflow

In manufacturing and distribution, the fastest win is letting people ask the sales and inventory data directly. No BI queue.

DATABASES · NL→SQL · LEADS HERE

Database reads · NL→SQL

Ask your databases in plain language. A fine-tuned local model turns the question into validated SQL. No BI ticket, and no data leaves the network.

RAG · KNOWLEDGE

RAG · knowledge synthesis

Agents read your internal archive (documents, manuals, regulations, prior cases) and answer with citations to the source. Private embeddings, served locally inside your network.

SMALL MODELS

Agents trained on small models

Small specialized models handle the repetitive work (classify, extract, validate, summarize) at a fraction of frontier cost, escalating to frontier models only when the task needs it.

GOVERNANCE

Governance and compliance

Every action is tied to a real user, gated by policy, approved where it matters, and recorded in an immutable audit trail your security and compliance teams can review.

GOVERNANCE

Built to pass your security review

Built around your commercial-data confidentiality. Each distributor, plant and area sees only what policy allows, and every action is recorded.
