Delivery dates are postponed, e-mails are lost, teams spend hours searching for information..

... and not because your employees are poorly organized. Rather, the problem is that classic ERP logic was built for a world where fewer variables were in motion at the same time. Data is stored in silos, delivery dates are tracked manually and routine tasks eat up most of the time on a day-to-day basis.

What has worked for a long time is becoming unsustainable with increasing economic pressure. The good news is: it can be better. In our webinar series on "Agentic AI in Manufacturing", you will learn how AI agents can free up your team's time.

In this first session, we will use the example of supplier communication to show how a specific process in inventory management can already run differently today.

Why AI agents?

What does agentic AI achieve in supplier management?

Just imagine: Incoming supplier confirmations are automatically processed and transferred to the system. Reminders for missing order confirmations go out without anyone having to think about it. And if a decision has to be made that goes beyond the routine, it ends up with your team. In this webinar, we will show you exactly that.

What you can expect in 45 minutes

A compact mix of classification, live demo and recommendations for action.

Why Agentic AI in manufacturing?
Manufacturing-specific challenges (costs, volatility, shortage of skilled workers) and why classic ERP logic is no longer sufficient.

Understanding technology: Standard vs. custom agents
What are AI agents, how do they differ from Microsoft Copilot - and what role does Copilot Studio play for customized solutions?

The process: Supplier communication in the context of Demand & Inventory
High-level view of Plan → Procure → Deliver - and where agents come into play in the supplier communication sub-process.

Demo: Supplier Communication Agent
See in action how an agent processes incoming supplier confirmations, automatically sends reminders and how Human Approval retains control in ERP.

What this improves
Time savings, higher data quality, more reliable delivery promises - and how this creates the basis for better forecasts and customer experience.
