Anthropic releases Claude for Manufacturing plugin for factory workflows
Original title: Anthropic's Claude for Manufacturing plugs AI directly into factory software to automate industrial workflows
The Team and Enterprise plugin connects to Autodesk Fusion, NetSuite, Microsoft 365 and Infor but does not control machines.
Anthropic released Claude for Manufacturing, a plugin that gives Claude access to industrial software through Autodesk Fusion, Oracle NetSuite, Microsoft 365 and Infor. Other systems can be reached by exporting files to Microsoft 365. Seventeen skills draft quotes from inventory, compare suppliers, generate quality reports and design variants, and analyze sensor data and manuals during downtime. An Infor plugin can order from backup suppliers and reschedule production after human approval, with results linked to source documents. Physical control is excluded; a separate Model Hardware Standard research preview would connect agents to devices such as robotic arms under human oversight.
- The plugin is available to Team and Enterprise customers.
- Orders and production rescheduling require human approval before action.
- Other systems integrate through file exports to Microsoft 365.
- The hardware standard is a research preview and still needs human oversight.

Anthropic's new Claude for Manufacturing plugin connects the AI directly to Autodesk Fusion, Oracle NetSuite, and Infor. Its 17 specialized skills let the AI draft quotes, compare suppliers, and place backup orders when deliveries are delayed, all after human approval. The plugin doesn't control physical machines yet, but Anthropic is separately developing the Model Hardware Standard for that.
