Maneva, the vision AI solution for manufacturers, led by Rae Jeong and Kelvin Chan, has launched Orchestration, an AI brain for factory floor management that gets smarter with every shift. Large manufacturers lose an estimated $1.4 trillion annually to unplanned downtime. More than half experienced disruptions last year, with downtime costing an average of $400,000 per hour, and up to $1.7 million in severe cases.
Orchestration is built on four layers of intelligence, perception, understanding, execution, and knowledge, turning independent factories and AI agents into a coordinated manufacturing ecosystem that can monitor, reason, intervene, and report.
Built on Maneva’s VITA and ALIS AI models, the platform uses existing factory cameras and NVIDIA edge technology to detect defects, downtime risks, safety issues, and productivity gaps, enabling manufacturers to scale toward smart, connected factories without costly infrastructure upgrades.
Global-to-Ground-Floor Management.
Orchestration provides a unified view of the entire factory network, from global operations down to individual production lines. A single map shows every facility, while live floor plans reveal where VITA and ALIS agents are deployed, what they are monitoring, and which faults or KPIs require attention.
Quality, safety, productivity, and machine data are brought into one interface, with live feeds, performance history, and controls available for every AI agent. From the factory network to a single conveyor belt or production station, action is only a few clicks away.
Key Orchestration Capabilities.
Perception
Global view: Map the entire factory network in one place, with plant-level status indicators highlighting facilities that need attention.
Live floor plans: View any facility in real time, including the location and coverage of every VITA and ALIS agent.
Live video: Stream real-time feeds from each agent to see exactly what is happening on the floor.
Understanding
Agent dashboards: Track uptime, defect rates, safety incidents, and alert history for every agent.
Root-cause analysis: Cross-reference data across agents to identify the upstream changes driving production issues.
Execution
Automated intervention: Connect directly to factory hardware to slow conveyors, trigger safety stops, or issue alerts without human intervention.
OEE tracking: Measure production output, downtime, and productivity at the line level to identify and reduce losses.
Agent configuration: Adjust thresholds directly within the platform, resolving false alarms without waiting on engineering teams.
Knowledge
Ask the floor: Use Kaizen, Maneva’s AI assistant, to answer operational questions using live plant and agent data.
On-demand reports: Generate shift, safety, and production reports instantly by line, facility, or date range.
Results From Early Deployment.
Maneva has deployed its Orchestration Platform with early design partners, with additional deployments in the pipeline. At one facility, more than 50 VITA and ALIS agents now span the full production process, from raw material intake and machine monitoring to manufacturing, safety, and shipping.
The deployments offer an early glimpse of the self-improving factory, with capabilities including self-diagnosed line-speed optimization, autonomous throughput improvements, adaptive staffing, and automatically initiated work orders.
“Before Orchestration, a plant manager might find out about a problem an hour after it started, or a day, or not until a customer did. Now they know the moment it happens, and they know why,” said Rae Jeong, Maneva’s Co-Founder and CEO. “Every incident observed by Orchestration makes a facility smarter.”
