| contents | Industrial anomaly detection (IAD) is challenging due to the subtle and highly localized nature of many defects, which single-pass vision--language models (VLMs) often fail to capture. Moreover, existing approaches lack mechanisms to actively acquire complementary evidence during inference. We propose AgentIAD, an agentic vision--language framework that enables iterative industrial inspection through a unified action space. The agent dynamically accesses two forms of memory during inspection: visual memory via the Perceptive Zoomer (PZ) for fine-grained local analysis, and retrieved memory via the Web Searcher (WS) and Comparative Retriever (CR) for external knowledge acquisition and cross-instance verification. This design allows the model to progressively gather evidence through multi-round perception--action reasoning. To effectively learn such policies under sparse supervision, AgentIAD adopts a two-stage training strategy: tool-aware supervised fine-tuning first initializes structured reasoning and memory-access behaviors, followed by agentic reinforcement learning to refine long-horizon decision policies. Extensive experiments show that, under the same backbone, AgentIAD improves classification accuracy by 5.92% over the previous state-of-the-art method on the MMAD benchmark while providing more reliable and interpretable anomaly analysis. |
