AI Infrastructure & MLOps for Manufacturing
AI Infrastructure & MLOps for manufacturing, built around the constraint that defines the sector: plant networks are unreliable and decisions must happen locally in milliseconds.

- Typical first release
- 6 weeks
What changes when it is manufacturing
Orqent Labs builds AI infrastructure sized to the workload you actually have, with the rollback paths you will eventually need.
In manufacturing, plant networks are unreliable and decisions must happen locally in milliseconds. That single fact reshapes how ai infrastructure & mlops has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.
The workload we are most often asked to take on first is production scheduling, usually integrated against SCADA and PLC. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.
Multi-model by default, so a provider outage is a routing decision rather than an incident. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.
The sector constraints we design around
- Defining constraint
- plant networks are unreliable and decisions must happen locally in milliseconds
- Regulations in scope
- ISO 9001 · factory safety regulations · environmental compliance · sector-specific quality standards
- Systems of record
- MES · SCADA and PLC · ERP · CMMS · quality management systems
- Where we usually start
- visual defect inspection
AI Infrastructure & MLOps workloads in manufacturing
- visual defect inspection
- predictive maintenance
- production scheduling
- quality documentation
- downtime root-cause analysis
What is included
- Workload sizing based on measured throughput, not guesses
- Model registry and versioned deployments
- Autoscaling and cost-per-inference monitoring
- Canary and rollback deployment paths
- On-premise or air-gapped options where required
- Runbooks and on-call documentation
Questions from this sector
Do we need to upgrade our machines?
Usually not. Most value comes from data your PLCs and cameras already produce and nobody is currently using.
What if the network goes down?
Edge deployment keeps inference local and tolerates disconnection, syncing when connectivity returns. On a shop floor that is a requirement, not an option.
Cloud or on-premise?
We model both against your real volume. On-premise typically wins at sustained high throughput or where data residency is non-negotiable; cloud wins on variable and early-stage workloads.
Can you deploy air-gapped?
Yes, with open-weight models and a fully offline inference stack, the usual pattern for defence, and for some healthcare and government work.
Do you support our existing Kubernetes setup?
Yes, and we would rather extend it than introduce a parallel platform your team has to learn.
