Describes a deployed stack that runs small language models at the edge with FactoryTalk Optix for operator UI, FactoryTalk DataMosaix as the contextual data layer and AWS for cloud services, tying LLM agents to physics-aware models that push setpoint changes to PLCs. Claims include a tire-line vision loop holding a seal tolerance between 9 and 3 mm, a food‑and‑beverage pilot that cuts one research FTE by ~55%, matches replacements for 70% of inventory, and saves ~10% unplanned downtime via edge anomaly detection.
