Manufacturing

Shop-floor and back-office agents that coordinate suppliers, quality, and finance — on ERP and MES permissions.

Works with the systems you already have

Copyl does not replace the systems you already run. Your maintenance, finance, inventory, HR and sensor systems connect to Copyl through its integration platform — governed, permission-checked and logged.

You get the apps and the AI agents on top of what you already have. Your existing systems become data sources for the agents.

Systems that typically stay: ERP and maintenance (CMMS) systems, production planning and MES, and shop-floor sensors.

From the alert to the audit trail

Signals

MES, supplier EDI, quality holds and frontline safety sensors feed in continuously.

Correlation

A late ASN, a quality hold and a safety event on the same line become one picture instead of three separate alerts.

Insight

Which supplier, work order or line is actually at risk — late delivery, quality hold, exposure limit, contract risk.

Agent action

Notifies planner and buyer roles, drafts the quality-hold record, flags the safety exposure — proposed, never executed on a production order without approval.

Decision

A plant manager or buyer approves or edits the proposal in one click.

Evidence & audit

Every notification, hold and approval lands in one trail for quality audits and safety reporting.

Runs on the systems you already have

Copyl sits on top of your MES, ERP and supplier EDI — it does not replace them.

How it fits

Your systems

MES, ERP, supplier EDI and frontline safety sensors — nothing is ripped out.

Copyl platform

Agent Hub, Integration Platform connectors and Signals correlate events and hold the audit trail.

EU data residency

EU-hosted data

Production and supplier data stays in the EU, with a deployment path to sovereign operation for regulated sites.

Live in days

Workflows

Supplier exception desk, quality holds, frontline safety, standard-cost variance — turned on one at a time.

Integration-first

Connects to the MES, ERP and supplier EDI you already run through the Integration Platform — no rip-and-replace.

EU data residency

Production and supplier data stays in the EU, with a deployment path to sovereign operation for regulated sites.

Modular by design

Turn on the supplier exception desk, quality holds, frontline safety or contract risk one at a time.

End-to-end

From a supplier exception to the audit file, one trail spans supply chain, quality and safety instead of three systems that disagree.

COO COO — plant and supply chain

Supplier late-ship bridge

Integrations
Problem
Planner inbox and MES alerts are not linked when ASNs slip.
Agent action
Agent detects late ASN, notifies planner and buyer roles in Teams, and logs impact on open production orders — read MES, write logistics tasks only.
Outcome
Average supplier response initiated 4 hours earlier on critical SKUs.

Quality hold release

Agent Hub
Problem
Holds sit in QMS while production planners work from spreadsheets.
Agent action
Agent mirrors hold status into planning view and nags quality engineer when retest due — cannot release without QA role.
Outcome
Hold dwell time down 18% without skipping test steps.

Frontline near-miss capture

Agent Hub
Problem
Near-misses and safety observations get reported on paper or not at all, so patterns that predict an incident go unseen until something happens.
Agent action
Agent turns floor-reported near-misses into structured, time-stamped safety records and flags repeat patterns to the safety lead — cannot close out a report without sign-off.
Outcome
Near-miss reporting goes up, and repeat hazards get fixed before they become a recordable incident.

Supplier contract risk scan

Contracts
Problem
Supplier contracts pile up in shared drives with no one tracking which clauses cover late delivery, liability caps, or price escalation.
Agent action
Agent extracts key terms from every active supplier contract and flags the ones missing standard protections or coming up for renewal.
Outcome
Procurement renegotiates the contracts that actually carry exposure, instead of reading all of them.

CFO CFO — plant finance

Standard cost variance brief

FP&A
Problem
Month-end variance comments are rebuilt manually from ERP and Excel bridges.
Agent action
Agent drafts variance narrative by cost centre with drill-down links; CFO controller approves before publish to board pack.
Outcome
Commentary draft ready day one of close instead of day four.

Why manufacturing teams choose Copyl

Frontline safety, not just plant KPIs

Vibration, noise and exposure limits under AFS 2023:1 feed the same agent that watches supplier and quality data — safety isn't a separate system.

Integration-first, not a rip-and-replace

Connects to the MES, ERP and supplier EDI you run today through the Integration Platform.

Every hold and exception has an audit trail

Quality holds, safety flags and supplier exceptions survive from the first alert to the audit file.

EU data residency

Production and supplier data stays in the EU, with a deployment path to sovereign operation for regulated sites.

Agents propose, a named person decides

No agent releases a quality hold, changes a production order, or edits a supplier contract without approval.

Modular by design

Turn on the supplier exception desk, quality holds, frontline safety or contract risk one at a time.

What buyers ask us

Do we have to replace our MES or ERP?

No. Copyl connects to what you run today through the Integration Platform — it adds a supplier exception desk, quality holds and an audit trail on top.

How fast can we go live?

The supplier exception desk and quality-hold workflow run as configured Agent Hub agents — most teams get a first line live in weeks.

Can the agent take actions on its own?

Only where you allow it. By default the agent proposes — a supplier exception, a quality hold, a safety flag — and a named person approves. It never changes a production order on its own.

Do you cover frontline safety, not just the supply chain?

Yes — vibration and exposure monitoring under AFS 2023:1 through Connected Worker feeds the same agent and audit trail as your supplier and quality data.

Where does our data live?

In the EU, with a deployment path to sovereign operation for regulated sites.
