IRIS Flows

Agents that don’t just recommend—they act

Industrial operations generate more decisions per minute than any team can handle manually. IRIS Flows puts autonomous AI agents to work in your processes—analyzing events, coordinating responses, and executing actions across assets, teams, and facilities in real time. Built on SymphonyAI’s Industrial LLM with 300+ pre-built agents and three modes of governed autonomy, it’s the only agentic AI platform engineered for the complexity of industrial operations.

Your operations are too complex for if-then logic

Rule-based systems handle predictable scenarios. Industrial operations aren’t predictable. Equipment behaves differently under different conditions, shifts, and loads—and the interactions between assets, processes, and teams create complexity that static rules can’t navigate. IRIS Flows agents reason from context, not rules. They understand what’s happening, evaluate options, coordinate with other agents and with people, and take action—adapting as conditions change.

Custom agent creation

Build domain-specific agents using a visual designer or natural language. Agents inherit the Industrial LLM’s contextual understanding of your assets, processes, and data—no training data preparation required.

IRIS Flows agents aren’t running on generic AI. Every agent is powered by SymphonyAI’s Industrial LLM—trained on 7+ trillion industrial data points including sensor readings, maintenance records, work orders, and engineering documentation. Agents understand the language, failure modes, and operational logic of your industry before they ever connect to your plant.

Because IRIS Flows sits on IRIS Foundry, agents have access to a fully unified, contextualized data foundation—not isolated data streams. The result is agents that reason with complete situational awareness: real-time OT data, historical trends, asset hierarchies, P&IDs, and enterprise system context, all in one coherent intelligence layer.

Generic AI agent platforms require extensive setup, custom training, and months of integration work before they understand your operation. IRIS Flows arrives pre-trained on industrial data—with an agent library, domain-specific ontologies, and a data foundation already built. Your team deploys agents in days, not quarters.

Building your own agentic AI in-house means owning the training data, the integration work, the governance framework, and the ongoing model maintenance—indefinitely. IRIS Flows delivers pre-built depth, governed autonomy controls, and continuous model improvements maintained by SymphonyAI’s industrial AI team.

What industrial teams ask before deploying IRIS Flows

Do we need IRIS Foundry to use IRIS Flows?

Yes. IRIS Foundry is the data foundation that IRIS Flows agents operate on—it provides the unified, contextualized data layer that gives agents situational awareness across your operation. If you’re not on IRIS Foundry yet, that’s where we start.

How long does it take to deploy our first agent?

Most customers activate their first pre-built agent within days of connecting IRIS Foundry to their data sources. Custom agent design using natural language or the visual builder typically adds days, not weeks. Complex multi-agent workflows are deployed iteratively, starting with the highest-impact use case.

How does governed autonomy work in practice?

Every agent operates in one of three modes: Assistive (recommends, humans decide), Augmented (acts on defined task classes, escalates edge cases), or Autonomous (full execution loop, human oversight available). Autonomy mode is set per agent, per workflow—and can be adjusted at any time from the central governance console.

Can agents connect to our existing systems—SAP, OSIsoft PI, Honeywell, and others?

Yes. Agents access data through IRIS Foundry’s 100+ pre-built connectors—covering historians, DCS, SCADA, ERP, CMMS, and IoT sources. They can also write back to connected systems: triggering work orders in SAP, updating CMMS records, or sending alerts through Microsoft Teams via MCP integration.

What makes IRIS Flows different from a standard AI copilot?

A copilot surfaces information and suggests actions. IRIS Flows agents execute actions—autonomously if configured to do so, or with human approval at defined checkpoints. Multi-agent orchestration means they also coordinate with each other: one agent’s output becomes another’s input, forming end-to-end process automation, not just point-in-time recommendations.

One unified data foundation, one way to build new AI applications, and one layer of agentic execution, built to work together across your plant.
