Source: AnthropicAlso reported by The Decoder

Anthropic launched Claude for Manufacturing on 12 November 2026, a plugin for Claude’s Team and Enterprise plans with 17 skills for sales, quality, operations, supply chain, design and setup. The skills draft quotes from a manufacturer’s own records, investigate failed inspections and draft corrective action reports, rank the likely causes of a machine breakdown from sensor exports, repair notes and manuals, prepare requests for quotes from other suppliers and compile production reports. It connects to Autodesk Fusion, Infor, Microsoft 365 and Oracle NetSuite. With Infor’s own plugin, Claude can also release a purchase order to another supplier and reschedule production in Infor once a buyer approves, within that buyer’s Infor permissions. The skills end with a person’s review, and the plugin does not operate equipment; for that, Anthropic is developing the Model Hardware Standard as a research preview.

Why it matters

Manufacturers on Claude’s business plans can have it draft quotes, quality reports and supplier requests from their own systems and, through Infor, change orders after a person approves.
