DTL Transport, a Fresno long-haul carrier, signed a binding deal to run the Kodiak Driver in 75 driverless trucks it owns and operates, paying Kodiak a per-mile fee. Service starts on I-10 between Dallas and El Paso and I-20 between Dallas and Atlanta, after a September pilot hauling produce from Fresno to Los Angeles. A carrier putting its own fleet and per-mile money behind driverless freight says more than another pilot.
autocad-plant3d-mcp lets Claude Code, Claude Desktop or another MCP client build, check and renumber P&IDs in AutoCAD Plant 3D through its .NET API, so lines carry real connections and pass validation. It also runs read-only checks on the project database for duplicate tags, orphan objects and open line ends. A chemical engineering student built it from a two-semester plant design project.
For process design engineers and EPC tool builders: on AutoCAD Plant 3D.
smt-floor-mcp simulates a three-line SMT electronics floor with injected anomalies and keeps the answer key separate, so you can score whether an agent finds the real cause of a slowdown. The simulator and a read-only OPC UA server are done; the MCP server itself is still in progress.
For electronics manufacturing engineers: testing agents on line data.
multi-plc-agent runs one MCP server that lets an AI agent write ladder logic in nine PLC tools, including GX Works2, TIA Portal V20, CX-Programmer, Sysmac Studio and CODESYS. A tool is checked off only after a real program built with 0 errors and read back matched. Tools that act on a live PLC or delete project content are not exposed, so the agent writes and compiles offline.
For controls and automation engineers: testing AI-written ladder logic offline.
