Anthropic launches Claude for Manufacturing plugin with 17 skills
Start here
Anthropic launched Claude for Manufacturing, a plugin with 17 skills spanning sales, quality, operations, supply chain, design and setup — from drafting job quotes to diagnosing a stopped machine. It draws on a manufacturer's own records through connectors to Autodesk Fusion, Infor, Microsoft 365 and Oracle NetSuite, and each skill ends at a human review step before output reaches a customer or supplier. The plugin is available on Team or Enterprise plans, where users install it and tell Claude, "Set us up." Anthropic says Claude for Manufacturing does not operate equipment; for that, it is developing the Model Hardware Standard, a research preview giving programmable equipment a standard way to describe measurements, settings and safety limits. Anthropic cites a 2025 Manufacturing Leadership Council survey in which 79% of manufacturers said they enter data manually, and says it plans to add more manufacturing skills over time.
