What is AI automation for manufacturing?
AI automation for manufacturing connects purchasing, stores, production planning, quality and dispatch on one system, then uses AI agents to handle repetitive work such as reorder alerts, three-way invoice matching and status reporting. Stack18 delivers it on Supply Chain OS or Business OS, or as custom software, with people approving every sensitive step.

AI Automation for Manufacturing questions.
Do you need to replace our existing ERP?
Not always. We assess what to keep, wrap with APIs or replace, based on value and risk.
What can AI agents safely do in a plant?
Repetitive, rules-bound work such as reorder alerts, invoice matching and report drafting. Sensitive steps go to a person for approval and every action is logged.
How long does a first rollout take?
Supply Chain OS Launch goes live in 4 to 5 weeks. Larger programmes run in 8 to 12 week waves.
Is GST and e-way bill handled?
Yes. GST, e-way bill and ITC-04 job work flows are built into Supply Chain OS.
What does it cost?
Supply Chain OS starts at ₹2.3L one-time, excluding GST, with no per-user fees. Custom work starts with a fixed-price discovery.
