When an optical-inspection alert flags a board, have a factory-manager agent pull the image and history, ask a visual-inspection agent for a second look, route confirmed defects to rework, and have a root-cause agent return a report with evidence: AI agent prompt
NVIDIA’s Nov 4, 2026 technical blog describes the Factory Operations Blueprint (FOX): a Factory Manager Agent that connects existing MES/ERP and machine data and coordinates specialist agents on an SMT PCB line. On an AOI alert the manager retrieves the board ID and image, a Visual Inspection Agent (NVIDIA Cosmos) confirms or clears the defect, a Fleet Management Agent (shown with Isaac Sim and ROS 2) can move a confirmed board to rework after operator approval, and a Root Cause Analysis Agent (Kumo Anomaly plus production history) returns a PDF with evidence and recommended corrective action. FOX can run fully on-premises on a DGX Station. Siemens production-planning agents built with the same blueprint are cited for up to 20% cost savings (vendor-reported).
The prompt
1. List your defect trigger (e.g. AOI fail, functional-test fail) and the systems that hold board ID, images, station history and machine readings. 2. Write three specialist jobs: (a) second-look inspection against approved examples, (b) move-to-rework only after a human approves, (c) root-cause report that cites source records and recommends a fix. 3. Give a manager agent those three tools plus read-only access to the board’s production history; tell it to escalate inconclusive inspections to a person. 4. Require operator approval before any physical handling; never auto-scrap or auto-adjust oven settings. 5. Output for each alert: decision (clear / rework / human), evidence links, and a one-page RCA draft if rework. 6. Pilot on one line for a week and compare false-positive rate and time-to-RCA against today’s manual process.
