Individuals find the right products. Businesses reach the right audience. One platform, free for both.
Syspro has launched Torque, an industrial AI platform that spots operational issues, recommends next steps, and logs approved actions across ERP and factory systems.
Syspro Torque is a new industrial AI platform for manufacturing and distribution. It detects operational issues, suggests next steps, and can take approved actions inside existing business systems. Torque also logs the reasoning behind its decisions for audit and operator review.
On September 2, 2026, Syspro launched Syspro Torque, positioning it as an “industrial AI” layer for manufacturers that want measurable ROI.
Torque uses AI agents, which are software bots that can follow rules and complete tasks automatically. In this case, the agents watch for operational problems, recommend what to do next, and then execute actions only after approval.
A key claim is auditability. Every action Torque takes is logged with the rule used, the data it relied on, and an explanation of why it acted. This is meant to reduce “black box” concerns, where AI makes decisions that operators cannot easily verify.
Syspro says Torque is built on its manufacturing knowledge graph, which is a structured map of how parts, jobs, suppliers, schedules, and costs relate to each other. The platform is also designed to connect to tools manufacturers already run, including ERP systems (software for finance, inventory, and operations), plus MES, SCADA, and warehouse systems. Syspro says Torque can work with any ERP, and it runs deepest with Syspro ERP.
Manufacturers often run tight margins, so small planning or quality decisions can create cascading issues across supply chain, compliance, and fulfilment.
Tools that can spot problems early and help operators take consistent actions can reduce downtime and rework. They can also make it easier to prove the impact of AI spend, since decisions and actions are recorded in detail.
The “no code” positioning also matters. If operations teams can configure agents without engineers, deployment could be faster. It could also shift more control to plant managers who understand shop floor rules and exceptions best.
