Built for discrete manufacturers, process manufacturers, and industrial OEMs
AI agents your operations and safety teams can both approve.
Manufacturers are deploying agents across predictive maintenance, quality control, and production planning. Record governs every agent action at the OT/IT boundary — ensuring agents that touch SCADA, ERP, and compliance systems operate with least-privilege access and human approval gates on every action with physical or regulatory consequences.
Agents you can deploy today.
Every agent ships with Cedar policies pre-configured for manufacturing compliance requirements. Deploy in minutes, not quarters.
Predictive Maintenance Agent
Monitors IoT sensor data from PLCs and SCADA systems to predict equipment failures and schedule maintenance windows via CMMS. Reads from OT systems under read-only Cedar policy — cannot trigger equipment actions without explicit human sign-off. HITL required before any emergency shutdown or unplanned maintenance dispatch.
Quality Control Agent
Analyzes inspection data, vision system outputs, and SPC charts to identify defect patterns and root causes. Routes all production hold recommendations and corrective action plans to quality engineers for review — never autonomously halting a production line. Every decision logged for ISO 9001 Clause 10.2 corrective action records.
Production Planning Agent
Optimizes scheduling across work centers, raw material availability, and demand forecasts. Routes deviations outside tolerance to plant managers via HITL before changes propagate to the shop floor. ERP write credentials are minted per planning cycle with a configurable TTL — not persistent.
EHS Compliance Agent
Maintains ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 documentation, generates OSHA incident reports, and tracks EPA emissions data. Routes all regulatory filings to the EHS manager for review before submission — every data access logged for QMS audit and OSHA investigation purposes.
Procurement Agent
Manages vendor quotes, generates purchase orders, and tracks delivery performance against production schedules. HITL gates enforce spend authority thresholds — agents cannot commit to POs above configurable limits without human authorization, satisfying internal controls and SOX IT general controls for manufacturers with public reporting obligations.
Manufacturing AI sits at the most dangerous intersection in enterprise software: operational technology and information technology. An agent that can read from a SCADA system, update a production recipe, or trigger a maintenance dispatch has real-world physical consequences if it acts incorrectly or is compromised. ISO 9001 requires documented process controls and corrective action records for any process in scope of the QMS. OSHA requires investigation trails for safety incidents. Defense OEM manufacturers face EAR and ITAR obligations for any agent that generates, handles, or transmits controlled technical data — including AI-generated outputs. CMMC Phase 1 went live November 2025 for DoD contractors. Record enforces these boundaries at the kernel, not the application layer.
Governance built for manufacturing.
OT/IT boundary enforcement in Cedar policy
Cedar policies define which agents may read from SCADA and which may only access ERP — preventing IT-side agents from inadvertently triggering operational changes. The Kernel Sandbox enforces this at the network level: an agent authorized for ERP cannot make connections to OT network segments regardless of what instructions it receives.
Physical action gates — no autonomous shop floor changes
Any agent action with physical consequences — maintenance dispatch, production holds, recipe modifications, equipment parameter changes — routes through HITL before execution. No AI agent can cause an unreviewed change in a production environment. Safety-critical actions are structurally gated, not reliant on prompting guidelines.
ISO 9001 QMS audit trails, automatic
ISO 9001 Clauses 4.4, 8.1, and 10.2 require documented process controls and corrective action records for processes in QMS scope. Record's Context Graph logs every agent decision, data source, and human approval — generating the documented evidence your ISO auditor will request as a byproduct of running agents, not a separate documentation program.
EAR, ITAR, and CMMC for defense OEMs
EAR and ITAR apply to any agent that generates, handles, or transmits controlled technical data — including AI-generated outputs about USML or CCL items. CMMC Phase 1 went live November 2025 for DoD contracts. Cedar policies encode export classification rules — agents touching ITAR-controlled data are restricted to cleared personnel approval chains and domestic-only network paths, enforced at the kernel.
Three gates. Every action. Zero exceptions.
Every agent action passes through all three enforcement layers simultaneously — not just one. Here's what that means for manufacturing.
Cedar policy enforces OT/IT boundary — SCADA read access is separate from ERP write access, and neither grants the other. HITL required before any agent action with physical consequences. Procurement POs above spend authority route to human approval. ITAR-flagged technical data access restricted to cleared personnel approval chains.
Content filtering prevents ITAR/EAR-controlled technical data from appearing in LLM prompts sent to external providers. All agent interactions with production and compliance data archived for ISO 9001 QMS audit and OSHA investigation requirements. Enforces export control boundaries at the AI Gateway layer.
eBPF sandbox enforces network segmentation between IT and OT environments at the kernel — an agent authorized for ERP cannot make connections to SCADA network segments. Prevents lateral movement from a compromised IT-side agent into operational technology. Satisfies CMMC network access control requirements for CUI-handling systems.
