Building a Real-Time Decision Architecture for Complex Manufacturing Environments
To address these challenges, ADLINK deployed its Gartner-recognized AI Agent Factory solution within advanced manufacturing operations. The solution is built on the NVIDIA Certified ADLINK AXE-7400SR Edge AI server, integrated with NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation GPU and NVIDIA Omniverse technologies, and designed around an edge agentic AI architecture that enables coordinated, real-time decision-making across manufacturing workflows.
Within this integrated system, specialized AI agents collaborate while performing distinct roles, enabling manufacturing operations to evolve from post-event response to real-time decision-making and proactive prevention. Decision Agents continuously integrate production and inspection data to generate actionable optimization recommendations; AVI (AI visual inspection) Agents monitor operator behavior and product quality to detect potential anomalies at an early stage; and Analytics Agents aggregate MES, equipment, and output data, applying large language models (LLMs) and data science techniques to identify patterns and root causes. Together, these agents enable true Adaptive Manufacturing, continuously optimizing quality, throughput, and operational efficiency.
Proven Results Enable a Scalable Manufacturing Transformation
With the Edge AI Agent deployed in live manufacturing environments, ADLINK has delivered clear, quantifiable business results. Product consistency improved from 97.5% to 99%, defect inspection time was reduced by 50%, and issue resolution time shortened from three days to one. Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) increased from 60% to 80%, driving a 20% growth in monthly production and corresponding increases in order volume—creating sustained and measurable business value.
Stephen Huang, President and Chief Operating Officer of ADLINK, said, “We are deeply honored to receive this recognition from Gartner. This acknowledgment reflects ADLINK’s long-term commitment to our in-house R&D capabilities, proprietary AI solutions, and proven execution in advanced manufacturing environments. Through our Edge AI Agent Platform architecture, ADLINK has successfully moved intelligent manufacturing from concept to measurable and repeatable practice. By working closely with ecosystem partners, we are accelerating real-world adoption and extending this validated manufacturing transformation pathway to global customers, delivering higher-quality and more resilient advanced manufacturing processes.”
