Accenture Launches AI Framework for Industry Solutions

Accenture has unveiled its AI Refinery distiller framework and SDKs, offering developers a robust platform to build, deploy, and scale advanced AI agents tailored for industry-specific applications. This release marks a significant milestone in Accenture’s commitment to advancing AI technology across various sectors.

The distiller framework is designed to streamline the development of AI agents by providing essential tools such as agent memory management, multi-agent collaboration, and workflow management. It also includes features for model customization, governance, and cross-platform interoperability, ensuring that AI solutions can be seamlessly integrated into existing enterprise systems.

Industry-Ready AI Development

"The distiller framework is the culmination of extensive work by thousands of developers and experts," said Lan Guan, Accenture’s chief AI officer. "It industrializes AI development, allowing enterprises to move from experimental pilots to scalable, industry-ready solutions."

By leveraging NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, the framework supports deployment across multiple architectures, including public and private clouds, on-premises, and sovereign infrastructure. This flexibility enables enterprises to align AI capabilities with their specific data governance and industry requirements.

NVIDIA Collaboration

"AI agents are transforming how industries tackle complex challenges," noted Justin Boitano, vice president of Enterprise AI Software Products at NVIDIA. "Accenture’s use of full-stack NVIDIA AI technology is accelerating the adoption of advanced AI solutions across various sectors."

The framework also introduces a physical AI SDK, allowing AI systems to process real-world signals from cameras and sensors. This capability is particularly valuable for applications like video segmentation and anomaly detection in industrial settings, leveraging NVIDIA’s AI Blueprint for Video Search and Summarization (VSS) and Metropolis technologies.

KION Partnership

KION, a global leader in manufacturing and warehouse automation, has partnered with Accenture and NVIDIA to explore the capabilities of the physical AI SDK. "This technology has the potential to revolutionize our operations," said CP Quek, CTO of KION GROUP AG. "It will enable smarter warehouses, safer manufacturing floors, and more adaptive operations."

The AI Refinery distiller framework and SDKs represent Accenture’s ongoing efforts to empower the developer community. With input from nearly 2,000 developers, the framework is designed to simplify the creation of domain-specific AI agents, reducing backend complexity and accelerating time-to-value for enterprises.
