Structural Metal Fabricators and Fitters
How structural metal fabricators and fitters are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 15% of Structural Metal Fabricators and Fitters is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.
Why: Although 11 tools fall into segment 43 (software such as CAD and ERP), the value-producing work is overwhelmingly physical. This is evidenced by 19 tools in industrial and power tool segments (23, 24, 27), top Work Activities like Controlling Machines and Processes (4.11) and Handling and Moving Objects (4.02), and a Work Context defined by Wearing Protective Equipment (5.00) and Spending Time Using Hands to Handle Objects (4.56).

Headless SaaS for Agents
The software here going agent-consumable — where the API, not the UI, becomes the way the work gets done.
Structural Metal Fabricators and Fitters uses 72 tools today. As each gains an agent-consumable surface (API / MCP / SDK), the human UI stops being the only way in — and the work routes straight to an agent.
+60 more via usesTool
Structural Metal Fabricators and Fitters relies on 14 products. The headless dimension of each — whether an agent can call it without a screen — is what decides how much of this work goes hands-free.
+2 more via uses
The software Structural Metal Fabricators and Fitters reaches for already exposes 12 agent-callable actions (via uses → exposedBy) — typed surfaces an agent invokes directly, no human screen in the loop. The work routes to the API, not the UI.
