> 222 companies sell AI to manufacturing operations teams: plant managers, production, quality, maintenance and manufacturing engineering. This map shows what each one sells across the six stages of manufacturing operations, and 299 dated events since May 2025: 202 product launches, 64 of them agents that do multi-step work or run on their own. Each event links to its source.

## What we're seeing

Five things the data shows, from 222 companies and 202 AI launches between May 2025 and early November 2026. Each example links to its source.

### Agents reached the plant in 2026, and most keep a person in the loop

Of the 202 AI launches, 64 (32%) are agents or always-on AI. 45 companies have shipped at least one, and most of their 54 shipped launches are dated 2026. Siemens [introduced industrial AI agents](https://news.siemens.com/en-us/ai-agents-manufacturing) behind its copilots in May 2025, and UpKeep shipped [Nova](https://www.pr.com/press-release/947420) that September: it creates work orders, assigns technicians and orders parts, and a person sets the rules and approves its actions. In 2026 maintenance vendors put agents into the work order. Ultimo added [digital workers](https://www.ultimo.com/resources/blogs/industrial-maintenance-teams-get-digital-workers) for planners, technicians and safety, which act alone on low-risk steps and hand higher-risk decisions to a person, and SAP shipped [six maintenance agents](https://news.sap.com/2026/10/ai-release-highlights-q3-2026/) from first request to final debrief. Infor’s [Manufacturing Agent](https://www.infor.com/blog/infor-industry-ai-2026-10-release) recommends and starts corrective action and its Quality Inspection Agent starts containment, inside what Infor calls governed approval workflows, and Honeywell made a TrackWise [complaint processing agent](https://www.honeywell.com/us/en/news/press-releases/2026/10/honeywell-technologies-introduces-agentic-ai-functionality-for-life-sciences-manufacturers) generally available in October. Frontline platforms let plants build their own: Tulip’s [Composable AI Agents](https://tulip.co/press/tulip-unveils-composable-ai-agents-at-operations-calling/) let a team define an agent’s role and actions, and Poka’s [AI Studio](https://www.poka.io/en/blog/poka-launches-no-code-ai-studio-industrial-ai-agents/) lets it set each agent’s approvals too.

### Plant data opened to outside AI assistants

20 companies shipped an MCP server, an agent API or an app inside ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot in the window, so an engineer can ask an outside assistant about a machine or an order and get an answer from plant data. The data layer went first: Litmus released an open-source [MCP server](https://litmus.io/blog/industrial-iot-with-litmus-mcp-server) for Litmus Edge in May 2025, and HighByte built an [Industrial MCP Server](https://www.highbyte.com/news/press-releases/highbyte-releases-industrial-mcp-server-for-agentic-ai) into its Intelligence Hub in July. In 2026 maintenance, ERP and data platforms followed. IBM added an [MCP server](https://www.ibm.com/new/announcements/introducing-maximo-application-suite-9-2) to Maximo in June so customers can bring their own agents. Katana let Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini [create manufacturing orders](https://katanamrp.com/blog/katana-mcp/) in August, with each change confirmed by the user. ThingWorx 10.2 made its [MCP server](https://community.ptc.com/thingworx-developers-185/thingworx-10-2-is-available-now-175818) generally available in September, and Cognite opened [Industrial MCP](https://www.cognite.com/en/resources/blog/cognite-september-2026-release) to Claude and Microsoft Copilot in public preview the same month.

### Inspection moved to models that watch the line

17 companies shipped AI that inspects parts from cameras or scans. Some of it now runs without a prompt: the model watches the line and a person reviews what it flags. Elementary’s [VisionStream](https://www.elementaryml.com/blog/introducing-visionstream-ai-that-teaches-itself-to-spot-manufacturing-defects) learns what normal looks like and flags defects with no labeling. Cognex put its AI tools on a dedicated processor in the [In-Sight 3900](https://s2.q4cdn.com/773500753/files/doc_news/Cognex-Launches-Highest-Performance-Embedded-AI-Vision-System-Powered-by-Qualcomm-2026.pdf), and Overview added [thermal and bring-your-own cameras](https://www.overview.ai/news/overview-launches-ovx-inspection-platform/) to its edge platform. Inspection also moved inside the part: Lumafield made its [Mars](https://www.lumafield.com/article/introducing-mars-for-100-percent-production-inspection) in-line X-ray system generally available for 100% production inspection, then added a [Quality Agent](https://www.lumafield.com/article/lumafield-introduces-quality-agent-a-physical-ai-technology-that-automates-defect-detection-and-root-cause-analysis-for-manufacturers) that finds defects and their root cause in CT scans for an engineer to review.

### Buyers agreed to pay billions for maintenance and plant data

We logged 21 acquisitions in the window. The two largest priced deals came within five weeks in 2026: Autodesk agreed to buy MaintainX for [about $3.6 billion](https://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/autodesk-acquire-maintainx-advancing-unified-platform-operations-2026-05-28), and Schneider Electric agreed to buy Cognite for [$3.1 billion](https://www.cognite.com/en/company/newsroom/schneider-electric-announces-agreement-to-acquire-cognite), to join AVEVA in its industrial automation business. Private equity carved plant software out of industrial groups: TPG agreed to buy GE Vernova’s [Proficy](https://gevernova.com/news/press-releases/tpg-to-acquire-ge-vernovas-proficy-manufacturing-software-business) for $600 million, then closed it with PTC’s ThingWorx and Kepware and put all three into a new company, [Velotic](https://www.tpg.com/news-and-insights/velotic-launches-to-shape-future-of-industrial-manufacturing-software). ERP vendors bought the shop floor: SYSPRO bought [Evocon](https://www.syspro.com/press_release/syspro-strengthens-digital-shopfloor-capabilities-with-acquisition-of-evocon/) and ECI bought [Amper](https://www.ecisolutions.com/news/eci-software-solutions-acquires-amper-technologies), both for machine monitoring. Prometheus Group made three deals, among them [Webalo](https://www.prometheusgroup.com/resources/posts/prometheus-group-acquires-webalo-to-deliver-a-closed-loop-digital-execution-platform-from-the-frontline-to-the-system-of-record), a connected worker platform.

### Investors backed maintenance, frontline apps and AI-native newcomers

We logged 33 funding rounds and investments. The three largest disclosed rounds went to maintenance and frontline platforms. MaintainX raised a [$150 million Series D](https://www.getmaintainx.com/newsroom/maintainx-raises-150m) in July 2025, ten months before Autodesk agreed to buy it. Tulip raised a [$120 million Series D](https://tulip.co/press/tulip-secures-120m-series-d/) led by Mitsubishi Electric at a $1.3 billion valuation, and Tractian raised a [$130 million Series D](https://tractian.com/en/blog/tractian-raises-series-d-to-scale-physical-ai) at $1.4 billion. Smaller rounds backed AI-first plant software: Squint raised a [$40 million Series B](https://siliconangle.com/2025/08/12/squint-gets-40m-funding-accelerate-human-machine-collaboration-manufacturing/) for frontline guidance, Arch Systems took [$30 million](https://archsys.io/hub/news/investment-vistara-accelerates-arch-agentic-ai-roadmap/) for its agentic AI roadmap, Maneva a [$27 million Series A](https://www.maneva.ai/resources/resource/maneva-raises-27m-series-a-tackle-inefficiencies-manufacturing) and Cerrion an [$18 million Series A](https://tech.eu/2025/11/25/cerrion-raises-18m-to-reduce-factory-downtime-with-ai-video-agents/) for video AI agents on the line.

## Methodology and corrections

**Who is on the map.** A company earns a row if a plant manager, or a production, quality, maintenance or manufacturing engineering team, can license its AI to schedule, run, inspect, maintain, measure or improve the plant’s work. That includes MES and manufacturing operations management, machine monitoring and OEE, quality management systems, AI visual inspection, maintenance management, predictive maintenance and asset performance, industrial data platforms and historians, connected worker and work instruction apps, production scheduling, standalone industrial AI agents and process optimization, and digital twins and simulation of lines and plants. The manufacturing ERPs are on the map from their home rows on the [supply chain planning map](/research/supply-chain-planning-software/); their rows here describe what they sell the plant floor. Robots, PLCs, sensors and cameras sold as hardware alone, product design and PLM software, supply chain planning, warehouse and logistics software, safety software sold to EHS teams, general BI and general-purpose IoT clouds are left off, and so are systems integrators and consultancies. A vendor that sells its own sensors or cameras with its software keeps its row and carries a flag. A name in a roundup is not a tool: every row rests on the vendor’s own site, or on dated trade press where that site would not open for us, and the data marks those rows as reported. The map covers companies we found, not every company that exists. Corrections and additions are welcome.

**One category per company.** Each company sits in the category its own headline sells. Many vendors sell execution, quality, maintenance and analytics on one platform, so the six stage columns and the capability list carry the rest. A company owned by another keeps its own row while it still sells its own product, and names its owner. A product line is its own row when the vendor sells it under its own name, as Siemens does with Opcenter and Senseye.

**What counts as an event.** A product launch, a funding round, an acquisition, a partnership, a rebrand, a shutdown, or published research, dated between the window’s first and last day. Every event links to a page we opened that prints its date, preferably the vendor’s own release, blog or changelog, otherwise the trade press. No date is inferred. A date marks the first time we saw a capability launch in the window, not the first time the company ever offered it. Some launches were announced before they shipped; those carry a status (announced, preview or beta). An acquisition is logged once, on the company that changed owner when it has a row, otherwise on the buyer.

**How autonomous a launch is.** We label each AI launch from the vendor’s own description of it. Assistive AI drafts, predicts or suggests when a person asks. An agent completes multi-step work on its own once a person sets it going, such as investigating a downtime event and drafting the work order, or rebuilding a schedule after a machine stops. Always-on AI runs without a prompt, such as watching machine health for failures or inspecting every part on the line. Vendors use the word agent loosely; we used it only when the vendor names a step the software completes without a person. Where the page says a company shipped an agent or always-on AI, a launch the vendor has only announced does not count. A launch in beta does.

**Who it is built for.** Two flags, set only from the vendor’s own pages: own hardware, for a vendor that sells its own sensors, cameras or devices with the software, and life sciences ready, for a product the vendor says is validated for GxP or FDA 21 CFR Part 11 work.

**How it was made.** We worked through the market one part at a time from a written spec, and logged each company and each event with the pages it rests on. A second, independent read then checked every event against its source and every company row against the company’s own headline page. It fixed dates and claims that did not hold up, and dropped duplicates, launches with no AI in them, and companies with no AI on their own pages or outside the map’s scope. Where a vendor’s own site would not open, we cite a dated copy of its release in the trade press or on a wire service; tool directories and news aggregators do not count. Funding figures come only from the company’s own release or a named report. Nothing here is a ranking: the stage cells show what a company sells, not how well it sells it, and a launch count measures how much a company announces.
