Operations Intelligence Use Cases

Operations Intelligence
on Vertex AI

AI agents that monitor and optimise your operations — supply chain visibility, predictive analytics over BigQuery, and computer vision quality control powered by Vertex AI and Gemini.

How operations agents on Vertex AI work

Operations teams need to see problems before they spread. These three agents combine BigQuery data with Vertex AI and Gemini to forecast, detect and inspect.

The Supply Chain Intelligence Agent correlates logistics signals, weather, supplier patterns and other events to predict disruptions and recommend re-routing. The Predictive Analytics Agent grounds operational forecasts in BigQuery data, covering demand sensing, churn prediction and equipment failure forecasting with Vertex AI AutoML. The Quality Control Vision Agent uses Vertex AI Vision AI and Gemini multimodal models to detect defects in manufacturing and logistics.

Delivery ranges from 4 to 6 weeks for the predictive and vision agents to 6 to 8 weeks for supply chain, which includes data source integration and model training.

Frequently asked questions

Which agent should we start with?

Start where a missed signal costs the most and the data already exists. Manufacturers tend to begin with quality control vision, distributors with supply chain intelligence, and data-led teams with predictive analytics.

Why does supply chain take longer?

The standard plan includes data source integration and BigQuery ML model training, then agent logic and routing recommendations, then testing and go-live.

What can the predictive agent forecast?

Demand, churn and equipment failures, based on your BigQuery data.

Do we need cameras or sensors for the vision agent?

The vision agent needs images or video of what you want to inspect. We confirm your capture setup during scoping.

How is the work priced?

Each agent is delivered as a fixed-price build, scoped on a 30-minute call.
