Reduction in Downtime

Frontline workers no longer have to troubleshoot or diagnose machine issues, reducing time spent idle.

Increase Agility

As supply chain shortages and predictability remains unstable, updating production in real time affords confidence and profitablity.

Operator Empowerment

Reduce skill gaps and training cycles with easy to understand real time performance visuals.
 

Predictive Analytics

Identifies potential issues before they cause downtime or defects.


Prescriptive Guidance

Recommends actions for operators, removing the need for manual problem-solving.

Real-Time Data Integration

Constantly updates decisions based on changing inputs, such as raw material prices, business priorities, and machine performance.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Manufacturing operations are complex, with production systems constantly responding to changing business and market conditions. This white paper introduces our AI-driven DecisionEngine, which simplifies the operator’s job and improves business outcomes by optimizing production decisions in real time.

By leveraging predictive and prescriptive AI, this technology drives significant financial benefits through reduced scrap, minimized downtime, and better decision-making. With real-time integration into Quality Management Systems (QMS) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, the DecisionEngine delivers actionable insights across the business.

AI-POWERED SOLUTION

In today’s manufacturing landscape, the ability to respond quickly and efficiently to changing business needs is critical. However, traditional shop floor processes often struggle with this dynamic environment. Operators must not only understand their machines but also consider the broader business context, something that is rarely part of their training. To bridge this gap, we developed the DecisionEngine, an AI-powered solution that automates decision-making on the shop floor, enabling faster, more informed responses to real-time changes in production environments.

DecisionEngine uses advanced AI algorithms to reduce the burden on human operators, shifting the process from a traditional "Diagnose > Decide > Decision" model to a streamlined "ACT" model. This technology improves consistency in operations, reduces downtime, and limits production waste, all while ensuring that the operator makes optimal decisions based on the most current data.

SOLVING PROBLEMS

Manufacturing operators are typically trained to run machines but not necessarily trained to understand the broader implications of their actions on business outcomes.

Factors like fluctuating raw material costs, shifts in demand, and internal process variations often go unnoticed by operators, even though they can have a significant impact on financial performance.
