Apprentice (Apprentice.io) is a US-based software company providing an AI-native manufacturing platform for highly regulated industries such as life sciences, pharmaceuticals, biotech and chemicals. Headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey, the company has been deploying cloud-native, GMP-compliant manufacturing software for over a decade. Its Manufacturing Suite spans the full ISA-95 stack and includes a next-generation Manufacturing Execution System (MES), Laboratory Execution System (LES), Connected Manufacturing Network (CMN), Manufacturing Intelligence analytics, Edge Devices with no-code digital work instructions and AR overlays, and Virtual/Remote Assistance for collaboration via mobile, desktop or AR headsets. The platform digitizes production from R&D recipe authoring through commercial manufacturing on a single no-code system with embedded AI agents.
The company's flagship AI offering, A1, is a standalone agent built on the purpose-trained Apprentice 4.1 model that proactively responds 24/7 to alarms, events, schedules and file changes, automating workflows such as troubleshooting guides, CAPA reports, deviation investigation, OEE analysis, audit readiness and shift handoffs. A1 connects across the full manufacturing technology stack, including ERP, MES, QMS, EAM, SCADA, historians, PLCs and IoT systems, using Webhooks, MQTT or OPC-UA, and communicates through Email, SMS, WhatsApp, Slack and Teams. Role-specific sub-agents serve operators, quality, MSAT, supervisors, engineering, maintenance and supply chain teams. Apprentice serves industries including life sciences, chemicals and materials, consumer packaged goods, medical device, semiconductor, aerospace and automotive manufacturing.
