Agents and data platforms for manufacturers, built into the ERP, MES and maintenance systems already in place, with people approving what matters.

- 01 Costs move quarterly, prices yearly Energy, materials and freight change every quarter, while customer prices and contracts are set once a year.

- 02 Downtime found too late Maintenance follows the calendar or the breakdown, rarely the sensor data the plant already collects.

- 03 Back office grows with output Invoices, supplier documents and quality reports still pass through people, line by line.

## Agents across the manufacturing chain.

The agents Twistag builds most often for manufacturers, from supplier to invoice. Each one keeps a person on the decisions that matter.
