Frequently asked questions
Common questions about the Manufacturing Agent
What plants usually ask before putting an agent to support the operation.
Does the agent issue purchase orders on its own?
Not by default. It follows the order, chases the supplier, and prepares the quote comparison. Issuing the order and approving payment stay under approval from whoever holds the authority.Does it operate machines or shop-floor systems?
No. The scope is the administrative back office: purchasing, inventory, quality records, and the maintenance plan. Process control systems keep running independently.Do we need an ERP to use it?
It helps, but it is not required. The agent works with what the plant already uses, including spreadsheets. The more structured the source, the less ambiguity in the follow-up.Does it chase suppliers on our behalf?
The agent prepares the message with the order history and the agreed deadline. Sending can be automatic or stay under approval, depending on the autonomy level you set for that action.Is our data used to train models?
No. Content processed by Secure AI Agents is not used to train UPX models or third-party models.Can we audit what the agent did?
Yes. Every action is logged: what was queried, what was proposed, when, in which system, and under which permission. The history stays available for review and auditing.How long does it take to go live?
It depends on the systems involved. The starting point is connecting the purchasing and inventory source and configuring the agent for the routine that consumes most time today.
