From assembly line to fab floor: AI that keeps discrete manufacturing running
Millions of product configurations, tight tolerances, and zero-defect targets leave no room for generic AI that needs months to learn your line. IRIS Foundry arrives pre-trained on discrete manufacturing, connecting MES, ERP, PLM, and vision inspection systems, so your team gets from raw signal to corrective action in weeks, not quarters.
AI-powered solutions built for every operation in discrete manufacturing
Generic AI wasn't built for the complexity of a stage-gate assembly process, the precision of a semiconductor fab, or the sheer number of product variants on your line. IRIS Foundry closes that gap with domain intelligence built around discrete manufacturing, so insight doesn't wait for a data science team to catch up.

From the assembly line to the fab floor, IRIS Foundry addresses the real operational pressures in discrete manufacturing.
Vision inspection and quality
Catch defects and quality deviations in real time with AI-augmented vision inspection, replacing manual checks that miss microscopic flaws and drive scrap.
Assembly instruction and traceability gaps
Replace desk-based instructions and paper checklists with dynamic, configuration-aware work instructions and full execution traceability.
Product configuration complexity
Manage millions of unique product variants without generic checklists, using AI that adapts inspection and instructions to the exact configuration on the line.
Asset reliability and unplanned downtime
Predict failures on CNC machines, robots, and assembly equipment before they force an unplanned stop.
Fragmented operational data
IRIS Foundry unifies MES, ERP, PLM, and vision inspection data into one governed, real-time view, replacing the manual reconciliation that slows root cause analysis.
Skills gaps and workforce
AI copilots and guided work instructions put process expertise in front of every assembly and fab operator, so tools fit existing workflows instead of fighting them.
AI outcomes in production, not in demos
Improvement in visual inspection accuracy Seagate achieved with SymphonyAI's Digital Manufacturing Platform, delivering multi-million-dollar savings in scrap prevention and labor reallocation.
Reduction in out-of-control action plan (OCAP) false alarms a high-value electronics manufacturer achieved within four months of deploying SymphonyAI Industrial.
Use cases across discrete manufacturing operations
From predictive maintenance to vision inspection, IRIS Foundry, Forge, and Flows apply one unified data foundation to the use cases that matter most in discrete manufacturing.
Predictive asset intelligence
Predict failures on CNC machines, robots, and assembly line equipment with remaining-useful-life modeling, and automate maintenance dispatch before assets fail.
Vision inspection and defect detection
Catch microscopic defects and quality deviations with AI-augmented vision inspection, keeping production close to golden batch conditions.
Digital work instructions and traceability
Replace desk-based instructions with dynamic, configuration-aware work instructions, capturing full execution traceability for every assembly step.
Quality intelligence
Forecast in-process quality issues, run statistical process control alerts, and trace off-spec root causes with lab and process genealogy integration.
Product configuration management
Adapt inspection checklists and work instructions automatically to millions of unique product variants, without manual reconfiguration.
Industrial DataOps
Unify OT and IT data across sites into a single namespace with 100+ connectors, and build a Cortex graph purpose-built for discrete manufacturing operations.
Agentic operations with IRIS Flows
Run autonomous agents from anomaly to root cause to work order, auto-respond to quality deviations, and coordinate multi-agent maintenance scheduling with a human always in the loop.
AI copilot for line and fab operations
Ask natural-language questions over line and fab data, capture operator advisories and shift handover reports, and search SOPs instantly.
Resources for discrete manufacturing teams
Case studies and data sheets built for discrete manufacturing operations.
One platform: IRIS Foundry, Forge, and Flows
One unified data foundation, one way to build new AI applications, and one layer of agentic execution, built to work together across your plant.
