- Predictive analysis inform people on what might happen, when, with what degree of certainty and impact.
- Pre-emptive and corrective actions optimise asset utilisation, maintenance, labour and inventory, and prevent downtime and breakdowns.
- Show improvement opportunities in any part of operations by recognising patterns, leading to improvement in efficiencies, design, logistics and people performance.
- Improve people management using technologies such as Chatbots to guide projects and personal performance.
FactoryWorxTM AI Optimises Every Aspect of Operations
FactoryWorxTM AI is designed to leverage your existing data capabilities, deep machine learning to enable the FactoryWorxTM Digital Twin to learn and guide business on timely and pre-emptive actions and future decisions.
WHAT IS YOUR KEY MANUFACTURING CHALLENGE?
Deploy FactoryWorxTM AI at Your Pace
Today adopting AI is not an optional choice. It is a matter of competitive urgency. The next five years will see operations without AI left behind. The window of opportunity is still open. With FactoryWorxTM AI you have a choice: to go full throttle to a full AI powered Industry 4.0 transformation or take a staged roll out.
With either option adopting FactoryWorxTM AI starts with a Project Pilot and follows logical steps to fully embed and leverage AI development, learning and the necessary organisational transformation.
If you are already using FactoryWorxTM MES, your operations are already connected. You already have the infrastructure and are collecting vital data. You can start with AI and move fast. It’s just a question of scaling the process.
