Via Automation is building an industrial AI copilot designed to revolutionize manufacturing operations. Unplanned machine downtimes cost manufacturers over $1.5 trillion globally each year—a problem that grows more expensive annually. In fact, the cost of a single hour of downtime has surged by 50% in just two years. Traditional solutions rely on dashboards and complex visualizations, but these don't solve the root problem—actions do. Via takes a different approach in building Automation Agents that are interfacing the process control systems. It predicts and prevents machine failures in real time, acting as an engineer would by diagnosing issues and taking proactive steps to address them. Via Automation integrates knowledge graphs into the digital twin framework. Knowledge graphs structure data for advanced queries and analytics, enhancing the capabilities of the digital twin. They map relationships between variables in semiconductor manufacturing. [2] This allows for complex queries and relationship mapping, which are crucial for optimizing manufacturing processes. Via’s AI-powered agents leverage all available factory data—structured and unstructured—ranging from machine sensor readings to maintenance manuals and work orders. Our LLM is trained with SEMI standards data and operation manuals across different devices, so when a robot error code or process fault is generated, the LLM can quickly synthesize the right recovery step improving productivity. With its intuitive interface, manufacturing teams can build and deploy custom workflows, even without deep AI expertise. This empowers manufacturers to focus on what matters most: keeping their critical machinery running smoothly and efficiently.
