AI security for manufacturing
Engineering, operations and supplier teams are using AI across plants and offices. PexLens protects designs, specifications and code from leaking into AI tools, manages AI in the browser at every site, and secures the open-source software your products and tools depend on.
The challenge
What makes AI and software risk different in manufacturing
Engineering IP in AI tools
Specifications, process data, supplier pricing and code are pasted into AI tools to analyse or rewrite.
Many sites, many devices
Plants, offices and suppliers use different devices and browsers, which makes consistent AI policy hard.
Software inside products
Connected products and engineering tools rely on open-source components that customers and regulators now ask about.
One platform
How PexLens secures manufacturing
Three products share one policy engine, so a rule about data, AI services, extensions or packages applies on every device and in every session.

Use cases
Where manufacturing teams use PexLens
Engineering teams using AI
Engineers get AI assistance without sending designs or code to unapproved services.
Consistent policy across sites
One policy applies at every plant and office.
Product software assurance
Know and control the open-source components in the software you ship.
Supplier collaboration
External partners follow the same AI rules when they work with your data.
Compliance
Supports your compliance programme
| Framework or obligation | How PexLens helps |
|---|---|
| EU Cyber Resilience Act | Supports component risk management and vulnerability handling for products with digital elements. |
| ISO 27001 and TISAX | Evidence of controls over AI tools and third-party software. |
| Customer SBOM requests | Helps you answer questions about the components in your software. |
PexLens provides controls and evidence that support compliance. It does not by itself make an organisation compliant with any law or standard.
FAQ
Manufacturing: common questions
Can PexLens be rolled out across many plants?
Yes. The PexLens Enterprise AI Browser supports zero-touch deployment across distributed machines, and policies apply to every site.
Does PexLens protect CAD files?
PexLens TrustGate inspects prompts and uploads against your policies for sensitive content. Talk to us about the file types your teams use.
Which software components can Supplytrust assess?
Open-source packages from ecosystems such as npm, PyPI, Maven, NuGet, Go modules and crates.io, plus extensions and AI models.
Can suppliers and partners be covered by PexLens?
Yes. External partners can work in the PexLens Enterprise AI Browser with your approved AI services, clipboard isolation and extension policies.
Does PexLens help with the EU Cyber Resilience Act?
PexLens supports component risk management and vulnerability handling for software in your products. It provides controls and evidence but does not by itself ensure compliance.
