Manufacturing scenario: Manufacturing inspector agent
Scenario
Use Copilot Studio to create a manufacturing inspector agent
Digitally inspects manufacturing compliance and traceability by applying SOPs and historical data to flag deviations, reduce rework, and boost audit readiness.
Ingests process logs, material usage, and quality data from manufacturing systems.

AI Agent
Benefit: Ingests manufacturing system data to enable real-time visibility into production.
Applies SOPs and compliance rules to flag process or quality deviations.

AI Agent
Benefit: Monitors SOP compliance to proactively identify process violations.
Cross-verifies operator inputs with inspection reports and traceability logs to identify discrepancies.

AI Agent
Benefit: Cross-checks operator inputs with inspection reports to minimize rework and scrap from manual errors.
Automatically generates inspection summaries and sends alerts for procedural or regulatory non-conformance.

AI Agent
Benefit: Automatically generates inspection summaries to speed up corrective actions and improves audit readiness.
Triggers rework tasks or line hold decisions when thresholds are breached.

AI Agent
Benefit: Automates corrective actions and controls production flow based on inspection thresholds, to prevent further quality issues.

3AI Agents allow Copilot to access your organization-specific apps. In the past this would have required an API call to get data from a system of record.
The content in this example scenario is for demonstration purposes only. You should evaluate how Copilot aligns with your organization’s business processes, regulatory requirements, and responsible AI principles.
