What problem does it solve? Operating a Rockwell FactoryTalk MES through an AI agent is risky because actions like starting a phase, dispensing material, or approving an electronic batch record command real equipment, consume inventory, and create permanent GxP compliance records. This Skill classifies every FactoryTalk operation by consequence so consequential actions pause for human approval instead of executing blindly. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Action classification: Maps FactoryTalk ProductionCentre, PharmaSuite, FactoryTalk Batch, and Historian operations into read, reversible write, committing write, and destructive classes with gating rules. - ISA-88 phase and equipment reasoning: Covers the phase state model (Start / Hold / Restart / Stop / Abort / Reset), equipment arbitration, unit binding, and class-based vs instance-based recipes. - GxP compliance handling: Details electronic batch records, weigh-and-dispense, exceptions vs deviations, review by exception, and 21 CFR Part 11 electronic signatures. - Use Case: When a user asks to restart a held react phase after an out-of-limit exception, the Skill directs the agent to re-read batch state, confirm the deviation disposition, and gate the Restart as a committing write rather than forcing the transition. ## Quick Start Ask the agent how to safely restart a held phase on a FactoryTalk Batch control recipe bound to a specific reactor.
