Agents
Agents do real work for Northfield. Each one watches the plant, decides when to act, and asks for approval when stakes are high.
Pre-built agents that fit common manufacturing patterns. Cloud templates run on Facilis infrastructure; edge templates run locally on a Facilis edge agent for sub-50ms latency.
