AI Agents on the Factory Floor: Real Stories from Real Manufacturers

Chris Kuntz, VP of Strategic Operations, Augmentir

Smart Manufacturing Experience Showcase, Tuesday September 15, 3:00 PM Central, North Building, Level 3 – 236702

AI agents are moving beyond experimentation and onto the factory floor.

In this session, Chris will explore how manufacturers are putting AI agents to work in real-world frontline operations. Learn how industrial AI can support workers at the point of work, help teams make better decisions, streamline operational workflows, and create new opportunities to improve productivity and manufacturing performance.

Rather than focusing on the hype surrounding AI, the session will look at what AI agents mean for manufacturers today through the lens of practical, real-world applications.

Meet Your New Coworker: AI Agents as Digital Workers on the Manufacturing Frontline

Chris Kuntz, VP of Strategic Operations, Augmentir

Smart Manufacturing Experience Showcase, Wednesday September 16, 2:30 PM Central, North Building, Level 3 – 236702

What happens when AI evolves from an assistant that answers questions into a digital coworker capable of taking action?

In this session, Chris will explore the emerging role of AI agents as digital workers on the manufacturing frontline. Learn how AI agents can work alongside operators, technicians, engineers, and frontline leaders to provide contextual support, automate tasks, surface critical knowledge, and help teams respond more effectively to the challenges they encounter every day.

The session will examine how manufacturers can use AI to augment their workforce—not replace it—by bringing intelligent, context-aware support directly into daily operations.

Featured Session: Meet Your New Coworker: AI Agents as Digital Workers on the Manufacturing Frontline

Manufacturing & Supply Chain Track

AI is quickly changing from a tool manufacturers ask for answers to one that can actively support and execute work.

In this session, Chris will explore how Industrial AI Agents can work alongside frontline teams, using real operational and workforce context to support use cases across manufacturing operations, maintenance, quality, training, safety, and continuous improvement.

Attendees will learn how AI Agents can:

  • Provide workers with contextual guidance and knowledge at the point of work
  • Automate routine tasks and workflows across frontline operations
  • Analyze operational data and surface opportunities for improvement
  • Support faster troubleshooting and root cause analysis
  • Help manufacturers capture and act on frontline knowledge
  • Connect workforce skills, performance, and work execution data to operational decisions
  • Move from AI-generated insights to meaningful action on the factory floor

A New Way to Interact with Industrial Software

Chris will also share how the latest innovations in the Augie™ Industrial AI Suite are changing the way manufacturing teams interact with industrial software.

With Augie Command Center, manufacturers can use natural language to analyze work, build dashboards, configure workflows, schedule and assign work, and create and deploy Industrial AI Agents. Instead of navigating applications, menus, and report builders, operational experts can simply describe what they want to accomplish.

Augie Procedure Studio extends that conversational experience to frontline procedures. Manufacturers can start with an existing SOP, video, image, or even a simple description, and Augie creates an interactive digital procedure that can be previewed and refined through conversation.

Together, these capabilities represent a shift from learning how to use complex industrial software to simply expressing intent—giving the people who know the operation a more direct way to turn their expertise into action.

Hear What’s Next for Industrial AI

Join Chris at MD&M Midwest to learn how AI Agents, natural-language interfaces, and context-aware Industrial AI are creating new possibilities for frontline manufacturing operations.
