Multi-Agent AI System in Manufacturing: Improving Quality, Planning & Maintenance

Our client, a plastic parts manufacturer, faced disconnected quality control, maintenance, and production planning systems. We implemented a coordinated multi-agent AI system that unified visual inspection, tool wear prediction, and batch planning, improving factory efficiency, reducing waste, and minimizing downtime.

Deep dive

An automotive supplier faced inefficiencies from siloed systems managing quality control, tool wear, and production planning. We deployed a multi-agent AI system where each agent specialized in a task - defect detection, maintenance prediction, or scheduling, while sharing real-time data across the line. This coordination improved decision-making, reduced downtime, and boosted overall equipment effectiveness.

The Challenge

  • Fragmented systems for production, quality, and maintenance processes
  • Manual scheduling and reactive issue handling causing inefficiencies
  • High downtime due to unpredicted tool wear and breakdowns
  • Inconsistent defect detection impacting product quality
  • Lack of real-time insights and cross-department data coordination

Services

  • Deployment of task-specific AI agents (quality, maintenance, scheduling)
  • Real-time data integration across machines and departments
  • Predictive maintenance using historical and sensor data
  • AI-based defect detection to ensure consistent product quality
  • Dynamic production scheduling optimized by live system conditions

The Striveonlab Approach

Results

Our AI-driven solution transformed the client’s production and quality operations by unifying siloed systems, automating decision-making, and enabling real-time insights. By replacing manual processes with intelligent agents and predictive analytics, we significantly improved operational efficiency, quality consistency, and equipment reliability. The new setup empowered production managers and engineers with faster access to actionable insights, minimized downtime, and created a tightly coordinated system for end-to-end manufacturing optimization.

Key Performance Metrics

The Outcome

Our solution delivered measurable impact by automating production monitoring, improving quality control through AI, and enabling faster response to anomalies. The system not only reduced downtime but also improved delivery reliability and customer satisfaction.
