AI

AI-enabled manufacturing ERP

AI that works with your own orders, production and purchasing, within the same rights as your users. Below is what is available today.

AI in the context of your production

A standalone AI chat does not know your business. In Digital WorkMate, AI works on the data already in the ERP: orders, production, operations, purchasing, products and documents. Rights are always respected.

You choose the AI model yourself: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Azure or a local model through Ollama.

AI functionality in DWM

  • AI assistant on your own business dataAvailable

    Ask questions about orders, products, production and purchasing; the assistant only sees what the user is allowed to see. For how-to questions the assistant searches the manual first and also finds articles when you use another common term, such as trim loss or material surcharge for material loss.

  • Production insights for AIAvailable

    AI tools for orders at risk, orders due soon, stalled orders, bottleneck operations and late purchase orders.

  • Semantic search (vector search)Available

    Search by meaning across business data and documents through a vector database, with permission filtering.

  • Document recognitionAvailable

    Text recognition and extraction from incoming purchase invoices and customer orders.

  • Import customer orders from PDFAvailable

    Have a customer PDF order read by an AI reader that checks order number, dates, quantities and prices against the document; show differences with the sales order and apply the lines. A ribbon button reads in a received customer order directly and the system also recognises by itself which document is a customer order; it learns per customer from earlier imports.

  • Meetings with transcriptionAvailable

    Record, transcribe (also locally with Whisper/Vosk) and generate an agenda and summary.

  • Choice of AI modelAvailable

    Support for several providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Azure) and local models through Ollama.

  • MCP server for AI agentsAvailable

    Model Context Protocol endpoint with tools and resources, secured with API keys, filtered by rights and features, write actions logged in the timeline.

ERP data ready for AI agents

Digital WorkMate has an MCP server. It lets AI agents and assistants that support MCP work with DWM in a controlled way: retrieve data and, where allowed, perform actions.

  • Access through an API key that is linked to a user and requires the MCP feature
  • Tools and resources are filtered on that user's features and rights
  • Tools are marked as read-only or writing
  • Every writing tool call is recorded in the API key's timeline
  • Rate limiting on the MCP endpoint
