💼 Anthropic releases Claude plugin for factories

Claude for Manufacturing was released on November 12, 2026: 17 ready-made "skills" for production teams—order calculation, inspection failure analysis, failure diagnostics, supplier search, and reporting. Connectors link the plugin to Autodesk Fusion, Infor, Microsoft 365, and Oracle NetSuite, and every draft must undergo human review and approval before sending.

🌍 According to a 2025 survey by the Manufacturing Leadership Council, 79% of manufacturers enter data manually, and the plugin addresses exactly this "routine"—data transfer between systems and reports.

👤 It can be launched on Claude Team/Enterprise plans—starting with ready-made skills. The Claude connector provides read-only access; entries in Infor are made by a separate partner plugin.
