An integrated framework featuring policy-governed agentic AI for closed-loop manufacturing control with multi-source sensor–MES–ERP
摘要
This study proposes a Policy-Governed Agentic AI for Closed-Loop Manufacturing Control (PGAI-CLMC) framework to support zero-defect manufacturing by innovatively integrating heterogeneous industrial data in a risk-aware manner. PGAI-CLMC fuses information from sensors, Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems by temporally aligning anomaly events, semantically mapping operational context, and constructing a traceable digital thread across shop-floor and enterprise layers. At the edge, deep neural networks perform real-time anomaly severity classification and short-horizon performance prediction, while adaptive statistical safeguards—based on Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA), Cumulative Sum (CUSUM), and capability-aware dynamic limits—continuously recalibrate thresholds under non-stationary conditions. At the cloud level, the proposed policy-governed agentic orchestration layer operationalizes explicit execution constraints (e.g., SOP-, risk-, and capability-aware gating) and coordinates multi-source evidence aggregation, digital-twin validation, and human-in-the-loop (HITL) review to produce auditable, execution-ready control actions with evidence and rule traceability. Evaluation on 25,275 real-world manufacturing records demonstrates a 22% improvement in anomaly classification accuracy, a 96% reduction in false alarms, a 16% increase in monitoring robustness, and a 19.5% increase in overall operational efficiency. Beyond predictive performance, PGAI-CLMC significantly improves decision reliability and accountability by explicitly linking detected anomalies to MES/ERP execution flows through governed policies and audit trails. The proposed framework is designed to be transferable to other discrete and process manufacturing settings where trustworthy real-time decision-making requires sensor–MES–ERP fusion.
