AI-Driven Multi-Agent Orchestration on AWS for Order-to-Delivery

Executive Summary 

A leading global manufacturing enterprise sought to modernize its fragmented order fulfillment operations, which spanned disconnected sales, production, inventory, and logistics systems. Manual order validation, delayed production scheduling, inventory visibility gaps, and siloed coordination led to fulfillment delays, stockouts, excess inventory costs, and poor customer satisfaction. 

To overcome these barriers, the organization implemented an AI-driven Manufacturing  & Fulfillment Multi-Agent Platform built on AWS. 

The solution unified ERP, production, inventory, and logistics systems under an intelligent orchestration layer, enabling autonomous decision-making across demand forecasting, inventory control, production planning, warehouse operations, and supply chain procurement.

Partner Solution 

Solution Overview 

The enterprise implemented the Manufacturing & Fulfillment Multi-Agent Platform on AWS as an AI-native multi-agent solution for end-to-end order fulfillment optimization. The solution functions as a centralized AI orchestration layer deployed within an Amazon EKS cluster, where specialized agents handle domain-specific functions and communicate via Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol. 

Built on LangGraph orchestration framework, the solution integrates real-time data from ERP, SAP, Oracle, and logistics systems through Model Context Protocol (MCP) enabled connectors, delivering actionable insights across the complete order-to-delivery lifecycle. 

Key Components 

• Orchestrator Agent – Centralized workflow controller  

• Demand Forecasting Agent – Validates order feasibility against current capacity and inventory. 

• Inventory Control Agent – Monitors real-time stock levels of finished goods, raw materials. 

• Production Planning Agent – Creates optimized production schedules considering machine capacity, labor availability. 

• Warehouse & Fulfillment Agent – Manages storage optimization, packaging workflows, and dispatch coordination. 

• Supply Chain Management Agent – Sources and procures raw materials from optimal suppliers  

• MCP Servers – Provide standardized access to SAP, Oracle ERP, logistics providers, and MS Teams for seamless integration 

• Bedrock Integration – Manages foundation models (Claude, Nova series), prompt governance, and compliance guardrails for intelligent decision-making 

AWS Services Used 

• Amazon EKS – Containerized agent deployment and orchestration with managed scaling 

• Amazon Bedrock – Foundation models for reasoning, feasibility analysis, and optimization 

• Bedrock Prompt Management – Centralized prompt governance and version control 

• Bedrock Guardrails – Model safety and compliance enforcement 

• Aurora PostgreSQL – Central data store for orders, inventory, schedules, and supplier data 

• Amazon S3 – Knowledge base storage (BOMs, supplier catalogs, historical data) 

• Amazon CloudWatch / Metrics Insights / Alarms – Monitoring, alerts, and performance tracking 

• Amazon Route 53 – DNS routing and load distribution 

• Network Load Balancer – Traffic distribution within secure VPC
