From alert to action in minutes

The objective of this agent is to reduce time to root cause for quality escapes.

Step 1

The Trigger

You define when the agent should activate. When conditions are met, it starts working automatically.

  • Scrap rate exceeds target by more than 1.5x for any product line over a 4-hour window
  • Rework volume crosses a threshold (e.g., >50 units in a shift)
  • Customer complaint logged for a shipped lot with severity "critical" or "major"
Step 2

360° View

The agent opens a tailored dashboard consolidating data from all your systems.

  • Defect summary: Total defects, defect rate, and breakdown by defect type (visual, dimensional, functional)
  • Affected scope: Products, SKUs, and production orders impacted
  • Timeline view: When defects first appeared and how they've trended over hours/shifts
Step 3

Automated Analysis

The agent follows a structured analysis flow, combining checks with exploratory reasoning.

  • Quantify the escape: Calculate total defects, scrap cost, and rework hours for the affected period. Flag if customer shipments are at risk.
  • Segment by defect type: Identify which defect categories are elevated. Determine if one type dominates or multiple types are rising together.
  • Isolate by production line: Compare defect rates across lines running the same product. Flag lines with statistically significant deviations.
Step 4

Actionable Output

After analysis, the agent creates a human-friendly report with everything your team needs.

  • Executive summary: Defect count, estimated scrap/rework cost, and containment status
  • Top contributing factors: Ranked list of lines, shifts, lots, or equipment with highest correlation to defects
  • Supporting evidence: Charts and data tables showing the statistical basis for each finding
Step 5

Delivery

Reports are sent automatically via email or accessed directly in Veezoo.

Key benefits for operations teams

Concrete, measurable value for your team from day one

Fast Action

Faster root cause identification

Before: 2-3 days gathering data from MES, QMS, and ERP. Now: consolidated view in minutes, investigation focus identified automatically.

Early Warning

Reduced scrap and rework costs

Catch quality escapes earlier by responding to threshold breaches within hours, not days. Example: 10-20% reduction in escape-related scrap based on typical response time improvements.

Fast Action

Better lot traceability

Automatically link defects to raw material lots, suppliers, and upstream processes. Supports faster containment decisions.

Up and runningin production in weeks

To deploy this Agent, you connect Veezoo to your existing Data Warehouse, typically containing data from:

MES (Manufacturing Execution System): Production orders, output counts, defect logs, SPC data
QMS (Quality Management System): NCRs, CAPA records, inspection results, customer complaints
ERP: Product master, BOM, lot/batch tracking, supplier information
Maintenance/CMMS: Equipment maintenance logs, downtime events, changeover records
