SOPs, quality and suppliers — answered and checked where work happens.
Procedures, quality manuals, equipment documentation and supplier contracts live in different places. Orion makes them answerable in one place, checks orders and supplier documents, and runs approvals with quality and finance in the loop.
What Orion does for Manufacturing.
Each use case is tagged with what Orion does: find answers, delegate tasks or run whole processes — on one shared foundation.
- Find answers · Enterprise Knowledge
SOP and quality-manual answers
Shift leads and quality teams ask how a procedure is done and get the step from the current controlled version, cited.
Works on: Document control · SharePoint How Enterprise Knowledge works - Find answers · Enterprise Knowledge
Maintenance troubleshooting
Engineers ask about a fault and get answers from equipment manuals and past maintenance reports, with the source attached.
Works on: Equipment manuals · maintenance logs How Enterprise Knowledge works - Delegate tasks · AI Agents
Order, delivery and invoice match
Lines up the purchase order, delivery note and invoice, and drafts the exception note when they disagree.
Works on: ERP · supplier email How AI Agents works - Run processes · Agentic Workflows
Supplier onboarding
A new supplier’s documents are checked in parallel for compliance, finance and quality, then routed for sign-off before the ERP record is created.

Illustrative use cases. Scope, data sources and integrations are agreed per engagement.
Every use case comes with the controls built in.
- Cited sourcesEvery answer links back to the document, page or email it came from — or says it cannot find one.
- Document-level accessDenied by default and mirrored from your source systems, so people only get answers from what they may see.
- Human approvalSensitive steps wait for a named person to approve before anything is sent or changed.
- Full audit trailEvery answer, agent run and approval is recorded — exportable for audit and AI-governance reviews.
- Your environmentA dedicated, single-tenant instance in your cloud account or data centre.
- Your models, your costsChoose commercial, open or self-hosted models, with spend tracked and capped by budget.
Start with your SOPs and quality manuals.
A 30-day Enterprise Knowledge pilot for one team, on one knowledge area — reviewed on day 30. Then agents and workflows on the same foundation.
“What is the torque check procedure after a line changeover?”
Answered from your own documents, with the source cited — only from what that person may see.Explore. Experience. Execute.
From first conversation to production — three steps, one platform.
- Explore 01
Choose the use case
A short workshop to explore where AI pays back first: one process or knowledge area, and the systems it touches.
- Experience 02
Prove it on your data
Experience Orion working on your own documents and rules, with quality scored — before you commit further.
- Execute 03
Run it and expand
Put it into production, then add agents, workflows and more sources on the same foundation, module by module.
Before you start.
Does our data leave our environment?
Orion runs as a dedicated, single-tenant instance in your cloud account or data centre. Your documents and indexes stay in your environment, and you choose which models are used — including self-hosted models where data must not leave your network.
How does Orion respect who can see what?
Access is denied by default and mirrored from your source systems, such as SharePoint, so each person only gets answers from documents they are already allowed to see.
Who approves what agents do?
You do. Sensitive steps wait for a named person to approve, and every answer, agent run and approval is recorded in an audit trail you can export for audit and AI-governance reviews.
Do we need to replace our existing systems?
No. Orion works on top of email, SharePoint, ERP and core systems through APIs, events and MCP, and signs people in with your identity provider.
How do Manufacturing teams usually start?
With a 30-day Enterprise Knowledge pilot: one knowledge area from one source, a chat assistant for a named pilot group, and a success review on day 30. Agents and workflows follow on the same foundation.
Can you help us get it working?
Yes. Alongside Orion, our AI adoption & data services help manufacturing teams choose use cases and get data ready, and forward deployment puts AI into one live process and stays until it delivers the result agreed up front.
One platform, every industry.
