[New Service Launch] Industrial-X Launches Production Management AI Agent "AX Agent Suite for Production Management" to Resolve On-Site Personalization and Automate Operations

## New Service Launched: "AX Agent Suite for Production Management" to Resolve On-Site Personalization and Automate Operations ― Accelerating Data-Driven Management in Manufacturing with Virtually Zero Initial Outlay (※) **Company:** INDUSTRIAL-X Inc. **Industry:** Business Consulting **Body (First 8000 characters):** We, INDUSTRIAL-X Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Chirei Yako; hereinafter referred to as "our company"), which supports corporate transformation through data-driven management, are pleased to announce the launch of "AX Agent Suite for Production Management," a production management AI agent that provides real-time understanding of information such as people, equipment, inventory, and progress in manufacturing sites, and supports optimal decision-making. ## Background of This Service Launch In recent years, Japan's manufacturing industry has been facing severe labor shortages due to the aging population and declining birthrate, as well as difficulties in skill inheritance due to the retirement of experienced technicians. Management on-site often remains paper- or Excel-based, making it impossible to grasp equipment operating status and production progress in real-time. A major challenge is "personalization," where responses to troubles depend on specific individuals. Even when systems are introduced, human confirmation and decision-making, as well as transcribing information between multiple systems, become bottlenecks, preventing substantial operational efficiency improvements in many cases. To solve these issues, our company has provided a "Production Management AI Agent" based on the concept of next-generation solutions where AI investigates and acts autonomously, automating operations at ultra-high speeds, rather than simply following human instructions. ## Overview and Features of "Production Management AI Agent" This solution is an AI agent that grasps all factory data, providing full support from代行 routine tasks to productivity improvement. ### (1) Intuitive Conversational Operation and Autonomous Automatic Execution It provides an interface that users can operate in a natural conversational format. The AI not only assists in context-aware responses and decision-making but also automatically processes tasks from an integrated system screen, dramatically increasing efficiency in preceding and succeeding operations while retaining human decision-making processes. **(2) Integration of Real-Time Data and Knowledge** It cross-references internal data such as production line/equipment information, maintenance history, and work procedure manuals with real-time data such as raw material prices and equipment sensor data and operating hours. Leveraging RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), it enables highly accurate search and information reference. **(3) Four Main Features Specific to Manufacturing Sites** * **Progress Tracking:** Grasps progress and delay factors in real-time based on on-site input and sensor data. * **Cost Estimation & Actual Comparison:** The AI analyzes standard time versus actual time differences and identifies the causes of cost deviations. * **Knowledge Management:** Collects and accumulates work instructions and setup know-how through conversation, presenting them to workers when needed to shorten training time. * **Form Request:** Automates routine tasks such as creating report forms by requesting them from the AI agent. **(4) Introduction Support with Virtually Zero Initial Outlay**
Financing consultations are available for consulting and introduction costs (※). By expecting repayment from increased revenue due to improved performance, it is possible to begin introducing the AI agent with virtually zero initial outlay. (※ This does not guarantee financing. A prescribed examination is required for financing.) ## Recommended for: ✅ Manufacturers unable to grasp production progress in real-time and respond to sudden production changes or short-notice orders. ✅ Management and factory managers seeking to break away from personalized on-site decision-making that relies on experienced workers' intuition and experience. ✅ Site managers experiencing prolonged line stoppages due to lengthy troubleshooting and recovery times. ## Future Outlook Through the provision of the "Production Management AI Agent," our company aims to realize data-driven management in the manufacturing industry and support the construction of next-generation autonomous factories. Moving forward, under our mission to "transform Japan's industrial structure," we will continue to support companies in establishing sustainable competitive advantages by utilizing AI not merely as a tool but as a strategic partner. ## [Service Overview] **Service Name:** Production Management AI Agent **Service Overview:** An AI agent solution that dramatically improves productivity and responsiveness by grasping manufacturing site information in real-time, and visualizing, standardizing, and automating tasks that tend to be personalized.
