Abstract: A multi-tenant, cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) manufacturing cloud system offers a variety of industrial applications to end customers, including but not limited to MES, ERP, quality management, supply chain management, and customer relationship management (CRM). The system includes extensibility tools that allows industrial customers to customize databases, data collection templates, reporting fields, and other features of their consumed services, eliminating the need for these features to be customized by an administrator of the cloud system. Some embodiments of the manufacturing cloud system can also leverage generative artificial intelligence (AI) in connection with executing its supported services.
