This page collects 6 real-world use cases of AI agents in manufacturing & engineering. 5 are verified by a production case study or reproducible demo; 1 is an unverified report or concept, and it is labeled as such. The most common autonomy level here is Level 3 (Conditional): autonomous within guardrails; humans handle exceptions. Business functions covered include IT, Accounting/Finance, Operations and Procurement. Vendors and tools mentioned include Amazon Web Services, Moveworks, Supervity / IBM and Microsoft. Each entry lists the workflow, tools, human-in-the-loop points and risks, and shows outcomes only when a source reports them, with a link to that source.
