# Every hour of downtime has a number. AI agents can see it coming. Unplanned downtime, supplier failures, quality escapes and procurement fraud surface after the damage is done. SERAA Cortex deploys AI agents that monitor your operations continuously so your teams act before the loss hits the P&L. **$50B** Annual global cost of unplanned manufacturing downtime. _- McKinsey Global Institute, 2024_ **35%** Of supply chain disruptions detectable in advance with continuous AI monitoring, _- Gartner Supply Chain Research_ **60%** Reduction in quality escape costs when AI monitors production in real time **10×** Faster to build and deploy manufacturing AI products on SERAA Cortex vs. from scratch ## What it costs to leave this as it is. ### MAINTENANCE ### Equipment fails on schedule Maintenance cycles based on hours or calendar dates do not reflect actual machine condition. You are either maintaining too early, wasting cost, or too late, causing downtime. ### SUPPLY CHAIN ### Visibility ends at tier one You know what your direct suppliers are doing. You have almost no visibility into tier two and three, where disruptions actually originate, until weeks of lead time are already lost. ### QUALITY ### Quality escapes reach the customer Quality data from production lines and inspection stations sits in disconnected systems, so the pattern that precedes an escape is never assembled in time. ### PROCUREMENT ### Procurement fraud is invisible in the volume Invoice manipulation and vendor collusion hide in procurement transactions that no team can manually review at scale. ### EHS COMPLIANCE ### EHS compliance managed with spreadsheets Environmental, health and safety compliance involves thousands of data points across plants. Manual reporting cycles cannot keep pace. ### INDUSTRY 4.0 ### Shop floor data that never becomes intelligence Your machines generate data. MES, ERP and SCADA generate more. But the distance to actionable intelligence is measured in weeks of data engineering per use case. ## Governed agents on the manufacturing workflows that leak value. 01CONTROLS & PROCUREMENT ### Procurement anomalies and internal controls We monitor every procurement transaction, vendor invoice and approval workflow. Anomalies, policy deviations and inconsistencies surface automatically. POWERED BY SERAA CORTEX 02SUPPLIER RISK ### Supply chain risk intelligence TPRM for manufacturing continuously monitors your supplier ecosystem, tier one to tier three, for financial instability, geopolitical exposure, quality lapses and delivery degradation. POWERED BY TPRM ON SERAA CORTEX 03OT / IT DATA FABRIC ### Operational data unification The data foundation layer ingests sensor data, MES records, ERP transactions and quality inspection results into a unified, clean, agent-ready layer across OT, IT, MES, ERP and supply chain. POWERED BY SERAA CORTEX + DATA QUALITY 04QUALITY CONTROL ### Production quality monitoring Agents monitor production parameters and inspection data continuously. Drift patterns that precede quality escapes are identified before defective product reaches the customer. POWERED BY MULTI-AGENT ORCHESTRATION ## Three ways in, depending on who is asking. ### For CTOs, Industry 4.0 and development teams Build custom manufacturing AI products on SERAA Cortex at 10× velocity. Agent Work Bench as the development environment. Data Quality for everything related to the quality of your operational data. Agent Test Bench to validate agent behaviour before production deployment. ### For operations, procurement and compliance leaders Deploy ready-built products configured for your environment. Configured TPRM for your industrial supplier network. OT integration through OEM connectors, SCADA APIs and MES integrations. Agent Control Tower dashboards for plant and multi-site oversight. ### For manufacturing executives with a specific operational challenge Bring the operational challenge. We build the solution. Problem definition with your operations and engineering teams. Data discovery across historian, MES, ERP and supplier data. Rapid build on SERAA Cortex as the foundation. Deployment through go-live, with hypercare. ## Already built, already running. ### TPRM Monitors your industrial supplier network continuously for financial health, delivery performance, quality certification status and geopolitical exposure. Risk scoring updates in real time. ### SERAA Axon Agentic reasoning over your full operational and supply chain risk posture. Operations leaders and boards interact with it in natural language rather than through a report cycle. ### Manufacturing Data Foundation Ingests and reconciles ERP, MES, supplier records, and IoT sensor streams into a unified data foundation for intelligent manufacturing operations. ## The four components behind these workflows. ### SENSE · LIVE SIGNAL **SERAA Pulze** Signal your systems never recorded. ### EVALUATE · REASONING **SERAA Axon** Reasoning across everything you own. ### REMEMBER · MEMORY **SERAA Synapse** Memory with a human in the loop. ### ACT · CONTROL PLANE **SERAA Cortex** The operating system for agents. ## Straight answers on disruption, integration and control. How long does it take to deploy in a manufacturing environment?+ For ready-built products like TPRM, initial deployment typically takes four to eight weeks, depending on the complexity of your ERP and supplier data landscape. Custom products built on SERAA Cortex using your operational data have longer timelines, typically twelve to twenty weeks from problem definition to production deployment. How does the platform connect to OT environments and shop floor systems?+ Through a combination of OEM data connectors, SCADA APIs, MES integrations and our OT partner ecosystem. We do not require replacing existing OT infrastructure. The data foundation layer ingests data from your existing systems, including historian data, PLC outputs and MES records, and normalises it into a unified, agent-ready layer. What makes this different from general-purpose AI platforms for manufacturing?+ General-purpose platforms require your team to build the agent lifecycle, data unification, governance and deployment layers from scratch. SERAA Cortex provides all of these as platform infrastructure, purpose-built for the data complexity and governance requirements of manufacturing. How is data security handled in an OT environment?+ The platform is architected to meet the security requirements of manufacturing OT environments, including network segmentation, role-based access controls, data residency requirements and audit logging across all agent actions. Can we build our own manufacturing AI products on the platform?+ Yes. SERAA Cortex is available as a platform for your engineering and Industry 4.0 teams. Agent Work Bench provides the development environment, Data Quality handles the quality of the data, and Agent Test Bench validates agent behaviour before production deployment. What does a demo look like for manufacturing?+ It is built around your actual operational environment and challenge. Before the session our team works with you to understand your current data landscape, the specific problem you are trying to solve, and which components are most relevant. ## Manufacturing problems are solvable. Thirty minutes against a real problem in your estate, led by the engineers who built the platform. We will tell you which layer you need first, and which you do not.
