IAP · Pulse 6 of 8 · Agentic Demand Family v3 · monthly composite
Industrial / Physical Agent Pulse
The third wave of agentic AI — agents that move atoms, not just bits. Factory automation, robotics, machine vision, industrial-CAD with virtual-twin AI, embedded silicon for sensor fusion, edge gateways for remote deployment, automotive autonomous-vehicle stack. Six sub-baskets, monthly composite (industrial-CAPEX-cycle is 5-15 years; faster cadence would be noise). LSCC explicit here for low-power-FPGA on the embedded edge — moved out of CEP per v3 spec because FPGA is industrial/control, not consumer.
Multi-Basket Equity Gaps
Six sub-baskets organized by industrial-vertical. Heavy international representation (Siemens DE, ABB CH, Schneider FR, Fanuc/Yaskawa/Keyence JP, Advantech TW). Embedded Semis is the leading-indicator sub-basket — when physical/industrial agents start showing up, FPGA + embedded NPU + sensor-fusion silicon picks up first.
| Sub-Basket | Vertical | Weight | 21d Basket Return | Score | Tickers |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Embedded Semis | Low-power FPGA + embedded MCU/NPU for sensor fusion + industrial control | 20% | +24.52% | 100.0 | LSCC · NXPI · STM · ADI · TXN |
| Industrial Automation | Factory-automation order intake + agentic-overlay platforms | 20% | +6.45% | 82.3 | ROK · EMR · SIE.DE · ABBN.SW · SU.PA |
| Robotics / Machine Vision | Robotic-controller shipments + machine-vision components | 20% | +20.06% | 100.0 | CGNX · 6954.T · 6506.T · TER · 6861.T |
| Industrial Software | Industrial-CAD + Simulation + Virtual-Twin with agentic-AI overlays | 15% | +5.11% | 75.5 | PTC · SNPS · DSY.PA |
| Edge Gateways | Rugged edge-server adoption for factory + remote AI deployment | 10% | +39.47% | 100.0 | DELL · HPE · 2395.TW |
| Auto / Physical AI | Automotive AI design-wins + autonomous-vehicle stack | 15% | +38.85% | 100.0 | QCOM · NXPI · STM · MBLY |
Methodology
IAP is Pulse 6 of 8 — the industrial/physical agent layer. The Closelook v3 spec calls this the "third wave": structurally enormous TAM (trillions), but slow adoption-curve and fragmented public data. IAP is more watchlist than active-trading-signal — monthly cadence reflects that industrial-CAPEX cycles are 5-15 years, not quarters.
Six sub-baskets weighted Embedded Semis 20% + Industrial Automation 20% + Robotics/Vision 20% + Industrial Software 15% + Edge Gateways 10% + Auto/Physical AI 15%. Stock-price layer pulls from Closelook Data Lake. Earnings-NLP modules (industrial-automation-orders, robotics-shipment-velocity, auto-design-wins) are stubbed in iteration 1.
Cross-pulse-cross-read: IAP↑ + LSCC/NXPI/STM↑ = physical/industrial agents show up in embedded semis FIRST. IAP↑ + EIP-flat = edge-driven industrial AI, less cloud-dependent — LSCC/STM bull setup. Note: Synopsys (SNPS) now includes Ansys post-2024-acquisition; the industrial-software basket reflects that consolidation.
