AI agents on factory floors are transitioning from advisory copilot roles to autonomous actors executing approved workflows and verifying results, enabling closed-loop decision-making within strict safety and governance boundaries. This shift promises faster production optimisation but requires careful human oversight to handle exceptional or ambiguous events.
