Claude for Manufacturing hands plant teams 17 skills for quotes, inspections and repairs

Anthropic released Claude onto the factory floor Thursday with a plugin with 17 skills, called “Claude for Manufacturing.” The skills cover sales, quality, operations, supply chain, design and setup. The plugin connects to Autodesk Fusion, Infor, Microsoft 365 and Oracle NetSuite. A 2025 survey by the Manufacturing Leadership Council found that 79% of manufacturers said they enter data by hand. Each job or task is handled by Claude until a user has to review the work. Quotes, failed inspections and Autodesk Fusion designs run through the plugin Some skills handle one task. Others chain steps until a person has to verify the work. For example, an estimator sends a customer request to Claude then he/she receives a list of information needed, cost comparison with similar jobs and a draft quote.
