TDWI Insight Accelerator | Building the Data Foundation for Agentic AI in Manufacturing: From Reactive Supply Chains to Autonomous Value Network
November 25, 2025
It is an exciting time for artificial intelligence (AI). As organizations move from exploring generative AI to deploying it at scale, a new phase of innovation is already emerging: the rise of agentic AI.
One of the most promising domains for agentic AI is the manufacturing industry, where complex, interconnected processes provide countless opportunities for automation and optimization. Manufacturing supply chains, with many interdependent tasks, from forecasting and sourcing to production, logistics, and after-sales service, are natural candidates for this new model.
Agentic AI can enhance efficiency, reduce risk, and accelerate decision-making across every step of the value chain.
This Insight Accelerator explores the challenges organizations face as they move toward agentic AI and outlines best practices for building the trusted data and AI foundation required to transform supply chains.
