Imagine a future where your factories and supply chains are smarter, more efficient, and more adaptable than ever. That future is already here, and it's called Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI).
A recent study by McKinsey reveals that 79% of global executives are already familiar with Gen AI, and 22% regularly use it in their work. Why? Because it has the potential to reduce manufacturing and supply chain expenses by up to half a trillion dollars.
What makes Gen AI unique is its ability to go beyond traditional analytical AI. While the latter focuses on forecasts and optimization based on historical data, Gen AI opens up a new world of possibilities in problem-solving, content creation, and almost human-like interaction.
Some practical applications include:
In planning: Improving demand forecasts and intelligent production plans.
In manufacturing: Predicting failures, reducing defects, and dynamic work instructions.
In delivery: Automating documents and communicating with customers through advanced chatbots.
The adoption rate is impressive. Companies are seeing significant results in their production factories in a matter of days or weeks, not months or years as before.
However, implementing Gen AI comes with important points. Data protection, regulatory compliance, and mitigating biases in the models are crucial. This is where enabling platforms come into play. There are platforms like Renaiss Renforce that make the implementation of AI simple and secure, allowing companies to harness the full potential of Gen AI without worrying about technical or security challenges.
The key to maximizing the impact of Gen AI lies in a comprehensive transformation of the company. It's not just about implementing a tool, but about rethinking processes, infrastructure, and operating models. Enabling platforms make this transformation more accessible and less expensive for companies.
The early adopters have the opportunity to capture immense value and radically improve their productivity.
The future of manufacturing and supply chains is here. With the right tools, it's within reach of any company willing to innovate. In this blog, we will discuss possible use cases and optimizations that we can make in this exciting industry at Renaiss.
