Build Your First Agent Talk to an AI Expert

Ask about any machine, network, or server

Ask what changed, why it happened, and what your team should do next. For Manufacturing Quick start prompts: Manufacturing Injection Molding Machine 12 cycle time increased during the last shift. What changed, what is the likely cause, and what should we inspect first? Network Operators Latency increased across the Northeast site. Which devices and services are affected, and what is most likely causing it? Data Centers Rack 14 power draw and inlet temperature increased overnight. What changed, and what should the operations team check first?

What Is an Industrial AI Agent?

An industrial AI agent is an intelligent system built around a specific machine, network, application, server, or operational process.

It brings together live data, historical behavior, technical documentation, maintenance records, operating procedures, and team knowledge. The agent uses that context to answer questions, detect faults, explain changes, recommend next steps, and support approved operational workflows.

Unlike a general-purpose chatbot, an industrial AI agent understands the equipment and environment it was built to support.

  • Observe

    Continuously understand health, performance, faults, operating conditions, and changing behavior.

  • Reason

    Connect live signals with manuals, records, history, runbooks, and operational context.

  • Explain

    Show what changed, why it matters, which assets are affected, and what is most likely causing the problem.

  • Act

    Trigger alerts, notify teams, create work orders, route incidents, and support the next approved action. MicroAI’s current agent experience demonstrates operational questions moving into recommended maintenance and connected actions.

From Scattered Data to One Operational Conversation

Your operational information is already there.

It lives across machine controllers, sensors, PLCs, applications, network tools, maintenance systems, alarm histories, manuals, spreadsheets, tickets, and experienced employees.

MicroAI brings that information into one intelligence layer built around the asset.

  • Deploy Intelligence at the Edge

    Process critical information directly on or near machines, networks, servers, and operational systems.

  • Reason With Operational Context

    Ground each response in the asset’s live signals, history, documentation, configuration, and operating environment.

  • Turn Decisions Into Action

    Move from a detected fault to the likely cause, recommended response, and connected workflow.

  • Build Intelligence Into the Physical World

    Create agents for the equipment and infrastructure that keep production, connectivity, and computing environments running.

Can MicroAI agents work with existing equipment?

MicroAI is designed to build intelligence around existing machines, devices, networks, applications, and infrastructure. The available connection method depends on the asset, controller, protocol, interface, sensor, or data source.

Can an AI agent use manuals and maintenance records?

Yes. An agent can be grounded in manuals, procedures, maintenance records, alarm history, tickets, runbooks, configurations, and other operational documentation.

Does MicroAI replace an MES, CMMS, DCIM, NMS, or monitoring platform?

MicroAI can complement existing operational systems by connecting their information and making it easier to investigate through one intelligence layer. The specific role depends on the systems, integrations, and agent being deployed.

MicroAI supports edge and embedded intelligence that processes critical information on or near operational assets. Centralized platforms can then support visualization, coordination, management, and broader analysis.

How do I start building an industrial AI agent?

Start with one asset and one high-value operational question. Select the machine, network, server, application, or process. Add its knowledge and available data. Define what the agent should monitor or help the team resolve.
