shopfloor-agent tests a small local AI model as a maintenance assistant
Open-weight models run on site so plant data stays local. In the author's own tests on a benchmark built from IBM AssetOpsBench data, a 4B model passed 142 of 143 tasks on a 4-CPU machine, and an approval gate stopped every injected write in its attack tests, though planted false values still got through.
For maintenance and reliability teams: evidence that a cheap local model can handle work order questions, and that a human approval step is what protects the records.
