A1: The AI Agent for Manufacturing Teams
Respond to alarms, troubleshoot faster, eliminate paperwork, and prevent exceptions before they happen.
An Agent for Every Role
A1's sub-agents automate the work you're spending hours on manually.
Things you can do today, but faster.
Workflows you never thought possible.
Apprentice 4.1 AI Model
General AI was built to talk – not to run production. We trained and constrained the Apprentice 4.1 model to outperform state-of-the-art LLMs in the dimensions that matter for manufacturing.
| Model | MFG Accuracy | MFG Specificity | MFG Relevance | Consistency | Compliance | Mean |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apprentice 4.1 | 4.8 | 4.9 | 4.933 | 5 | 5 | 4.927 |
| Claude Sonnet 4.6 | 4.6 | 4.8 | 4.633 | 4.7 | 5 | 4.747 |
| GPT-4o | 4.2 | 4 | 4.4 | 4.8 | 5 | 4.48 |
| GPT-4o Mini | 3.8 | 3.8 | 4.3 | 4.7 | 4.8 | 4.28 |
| Gemini 2.5 Flash | 3.5 | 3.4 | 3.4 | 3.9 | 4.1 | 3.66 |
One Model, Two Ways to Work
Use Apprentice 4.1 as a standalone AI agent or embedded within our Manufacturing Suite.
Pre-built Agents & Workflows ensure A1 can execute a repeatable, consistent and compliant workflow every time.
You can't afford to let AI make up a new workflow every time it runs. A1's Agent and Workflow capability allows you to define the exact steps and actions A1 should take every time it runs.
A1 creates production-ready artifacts — CAPAs, deviations, reports and more.
A1 doesn't just answer questions. It generates real manufacturing documents — from CAPA reports to process summaries — that you can review, edit, and share with your team.
A1 is not a chatbot. It proactively responds 24/7 to alarms, events, schedules, file changes and more.
Production doesn't wait for a prompt. A1 can be configured to proactively respond to 'triggers' so you don't have to constantly be in front of your computer - let A1 handle the noise so you can focus on what's important.
One Agent. Every System.
A1 Agents and Workflows execute across your entire manufacturing tech stack — ERP, MES, QMS, EAM, SCADA, Historian, PLCs, IoT, and flat files. Connect point-to-point or through a middleware with Webhooks, MQTT or OPC-UA.
A1 can communicate with you where you are - Email, SMS, WhatsApp, Slack, Teams, and more
When an issue happens on the floor, the last thing you want is to have to log in to an app. A1 can reach out to you on the channels you already use so you don't lose a second.
Built on the same infrastructure that has been powering our Manufacturing Suite for 12 years.
We've been deploying cloud-native manufacturing software for over a decade in the most difficult and regulated industries in the world. Designed to be fault-tolerant, geographically redundant, and always available, you can have the confidence to use A1 on your most critical workflows.
Free for individuals. Scale to your team, site and enterprise.
