Pelico
Also known as: Pelico SAS, Manufacturing Orchestrator
Pelico is a manufacturing orchestration platform for complex production networks that connects and enriches data from ERP, MES, PLM and shop-floor systems into a single operational truth, traces how a late part or quality hold ripples across bills of material and delivery commitments, simulates recovery options against on-time delivery and revenue, and coordinates the resulting actions across supply, production, quality and maintenance with write-back into the systems of record.
Pelico is a manufacturing and supply chain orchestration platform for complex, discrete manufacturers. Its Manufacturing Orchestrator backbone unifies, cleans, and enriches data across suppliers, production, inventory, quality, maintenance, and customers into a single real time operational truth spanning multi level bills of materials and multiple plants, connecting ERP, MES, PLM, and TMS systems and factory floor sensors without requiring changes to them.
On that foundation, specialized domain AI agents continuously anticipate material coverage risk and disruptions, determine how the impact ripples upstream and downstream across builds, deliveries, and revenue, and evaluate recovery options such as alternates, stock transfers, resequencing, or supplier trade offs, simulating their effect on on time delivery, backlog, and revenue before recommending the best path.
The agents then orchestrate cross functional recovery across procurement, production, quality, and customer service in a closed loop, assigning actions, updating plans, notifying partners, or carrying out defined steps within set parameters with humans in the loop, and a write back engine pushes validated updates automatically into ERP, MES, and planning tools. Pelico calls its recommendations explainable and auditable, grounded in the customer's validated data. The specialized agents are offered through an Agentic AI Early Adopter Program. Pelico is used by manufacturers including Airbus, Safran, Eaton, and Daikin and works with half of the world's top 10 aerospace and defense companies.

Integrations
Connects and enriches data from ERP, MES, PLM, and TMS systems and factory floor sensors without requiring changes, and its write back engine pushes validated updates automatically back into ERP, MES, and planning tools.
In practice
Your team learns a part is late only after a build slips. Pelico's agents watch signals from the connected ERP, MES and shop floor systems and show which builds, deliveries and revenue are at risk the moment a part is late or a quality hold appears.
Your planners weigh recovery options by hand when a supplier slips. Pelico simulates alternates, stock transfers, resequencing and supplier trade offs against on time delivery, backlog and revenue before anyone acts.
Your recovery plans stall between functions and never reach the systems of record. Pelico assigns actions to owners across supply, production, quality and maintenance, and its write back engine pushes validated updates into ERP, MES and planning tools.

Two more routes sit alongside it. APIs ingest new data sources and push actions into existing enterprise systems without disruption. A write back engine has agents validate actions and push updates into ERP, MES or planning tools, so decisions land in the systems of record instead of in dashboards.

| Workflow Orchestration | Full |
|
A named runtime moves through five stages, Connect, Anticipate, Simulate, Collaborate and Act. Agents built for each domain monitor for disruptions and trace impact across multi level bills of material, work orders, capacity and delivery commitments. They compare recovery options and coordinate the affected functions. Then they assign actions, update plans, notify partners or carry out defined steps themselves, closing the loop across supply, production, quality and maintenance. All of it runs under Pelico's own orchestration engine. The specialized agent layer is offered through an Early Adopter program, so it is a restricted version and not generally available. The underlying orchestration has already shipped. SourcePelico, pelico.ai/platform and /agenticread 2026-09-08 |

| Knowledge Grounding & RAG | Full |
|
The Manufacturing Orchestrator connects, cleans and enriches data from every system, function and site into a single trusted operational truth across multi level BOM and multi plant environments. It is maintained continuously, not assembled per request. The architecture names a data quality analyzer and transformation, foundation and enrichment layers. The agents run on that enriched truth, and Pelico calls their recommendations explainable and traceable to the customer's own ERP data and internal processes. The knowledge is structured operational and BOM data, not a document index, and there is no retrieval mechanism. SourcePelico, pelico.ai/platform and /agenticread 2026-09-08 |
|
| Human Oversight & Guardrails | Partial |
|
Agents orchestrate actions across functions with humans in the loop. Teams assign actions and update plans, and specialized agents carry out defined steps within defined parameters, so people set the limits on autonomy. There is no review and approval surface, approval gate or escalation step before execution. The Act stage offers delegation to agents as an alternative to human action, not as a gated handoff. Agents validate actions and push updates automatically to ERP, MES or planning tools, so the agent checks its own action and no person approves it.

SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance are claimed, with an ISO 27001 certified badge and an AICPA SOC seal. A Trust Center at trust.pelico.ai holds the underlying documents. Controls include granular access controls, governed access controls, encryption in transit and at rest, automated backups and a structured incident response process. Outside the Trust Center, Pelico names no auditor, report date or certificate number, and does not state the scope of the SOC 2 report. SourcePelico, pelico.ai/platformread 2026-09-08 |

| Observability & Auditability | Partial |
|
Pelico claims full auditability, both among its secure and compliant properties and under security by design, and says the agents' logic is explainable, auditable and grounded in the customer's own data and processes. The collaboration view records escalated objects with comments, owners and resolution dates. Pelico also claims 24/7 observability of its own service. There is no trace of an agent run, no log surface, no retention period and no export or query path. The auditability claim sits in a compliance list beside encryption and backups, and nothing records what an agent decided and why. SourcePelico, pelico.ai/platform and /agenticread 2026-09-08 |

| Memory & State Persistence | Not documented |
|
In the Collaborate stage, agents maintain full context so functions stay synchronized as priorities and constraints change. That context is the platform's single operational truth keeping supply, planning, production and quality aligned, the same enriched data layer that grounds the agents. The agents have no memory layer of their own. No scope is set per user, plant or workflow, no lifetime or retention is given, and no state carries between runs of an agent.

Specialized AI agents are built for each manufacturing function, for production, supply and customer support teams. Pelico calls them a precision engineered team with the instructions and tooling to detect issues, test scenarios, generate response plans and carry them out within defined parameters. There is no browsable catalog or template library. The agentic layer is open only through the Agentic AI Early Adopter Program, for qualifying manufacturers that want to pilot it.

| Triggers & Channel Coverage | Full |
|
Agents monitor continuously for disruptions. The moment a part is late, a quality hold appears or capacity shifts, the platform shows which builds, deliveries and revenue are at risk. The product view raises live alerts on a part shortage and a supplier delay against a named component, and routes escalated objects to owners with blocking dates. Work reaches the agents from continuous operational signals in the connected ERP, MES and shop floor systems, not from user requests. Results go to views inside the platform, the collaboration room and partner notifications. There is no webhook or external channel.

The Simulate stage compares recovery options such as alternates, stock transfers, resequencing and supplier trade offs, and projects their impact on on time delivery, backlog and revenue before acting. What it tests is the customer's recovery plan, not the agents that propose it. There is no harness, scored test cases, holdout or controlled loop after deployment that measures agent decisions, and no validation gate for configuration or readiness.

Included quota
Not public; scoped per connected sites, users, and data volume.
Cost watchouts
Cost scales with connected sites, users, and data volume; additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply for the marketplace deployment.
Variable cost rationale
The modular model ties cost to connected sites, users, and data volume, so multi plant rollouts scale the price, plus possible AWS infrastructure costs, though the platform license anchors the spend.
Overage / add-ons
Adding sites, users, or data volume increases the modular price.

Key ambiguities
The pricing dimensions (connected sites, users, data volume) trace to the AWS Marketplace listing, which is first party but limited in scope; they have not been re-read on the listing and appear nowhere on pelico.ai, where the only route is Request a demo and no pricing page exists. Exact figures are not published on either surface. Treat the dimensions as marketplace-sourced rather than product-page-sourced until the listing is re-read.
