Unplanned Downtime: Why Every Minute Spent on Diagnosis Is Becoming More Expensive
Sensors can detect a failure within seconds, but identifying its true cause can take much longer. Discover why diagnostic time represents a significant share of the cost of unplanned downtime and which measures can help accelerate the return to production.
AI Isn't Always the Best Solution
AI can create real value in manufacturing, but it isn’t always the best solution for every problem. Discover how to determine whether AI, automation, system integration, or a simpler process improvement is the right approach for your manufacturing challenge.
Manufacturers often have large amounts of data from their ERP systems, equipment, maintenance reports, and quality systems. Yet these data are not automatically usable by artificial intelligence. This article explains how to assess their relevance, consistency, context, and representativeness before starting a project.
Where to Start with AI in a Manufacturing Company?
Many manufacturing companies want to adopt artificial intelligence but do not know which project to prioritize. This article explains why an AI initiative should begin with a concrete business problem rather than the choice of a tool. It outlines the main questions to examine: expected value, available data, system integration, internal capabilities, and user adoption.
