A quality copilot that speaks MES, ERP, and SOPs.

When a quality event fires on the line, the answer lives in three places: MES sensor history, ERP batch data, and a binder of SOPs. This playbook wires all three into one VDF AI Network and recommends corrective actions in seconds.

The problem

Tribal knowledge slows root cause

The senior process engineer "knows" what to check. New hires don't. By the time a quality event is triaged, the batch is gone.

The VDF AI approach

Codify tribal knowledge as agents and SOP RAG

MES and ERP become Custom HTTP tools. SOPs go into pgvector. A Quality Copilot Network correlates them and emits a ranked list of likely causes plus corrective actions.

PLAYBOOK · STEP BY STEP

Wire the shop floor to the model

1

Wrap MES & ERP endpoints

Batch lookup, SPC reads, recipe data — each becomes a typed Custom HTTP tool.

2

Vectorize SOPs, CAPAs, and prior excursions

VDF Data ingests PDFs and historical event archives into a per-line pgvector index.

3

Author the Quality Copilot agents

Signal Correlator, Root-Cause Reasoner, Action Planner — each with a tight system prompt and audit-friendly output.

4

Bind into one Network

Intent template investigate-event drives the flow.

5

Operate at line speed

Real-time execution monitoring shows every retrieval and tool call. SEEMR keeps cost predictable.

SEEMR REFERENCE

Routing by event severity

Critical excursions reach your high-capability model; routine variance gets small models. SEEMR updates the cut every shift.
