Architecture Overview

The Industrial Agentic Intelligence Framework is a ten-agent pipeline built on top of a Unified Namespace (UNS) message fabric. All inter-agent communication flows through the UNS Context Broker, which enforces Purdue zone boundaries before any tool call is permitted to cross OT/IT network segments.

Key Design Principles

UNS-native — Every sensor tag, work order, and agent decision is addressed via an ISA-95-compliant topic hierarchy (enterprise/site/area/line/cell/asset/signal).

Purdue-aware — Write operations targeting zones 0–2 (field devices, control systems, supervisory) are blocked by the UNS Context Broker unless HITL approval has been granted and the OPA policy engine returns allow: true.

Cybersecurity-first — CMMC Level 2 compliance is baked into the routing policy, the guardrail agent, and the governance lineage bus. Every agent decision is Ed25519-signed and emitted as an OpenLineage event before the action takes effect.

Local-first — The framework runs on a single laptop with Ollama (no cloud API keys) via industrial-agents bench --provider ollama. Cloud providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Bedrock) are drop-in replacements via the LLMProvider Protocol.
