Accelerate your digital transformation journey with artificial intelligence and data analytics

Artificial intelligence, which transforms our lives in every field, is also reshaping the production sector. Artificial intelligence-supported tools, which have the power to solve complex situations, facilitate decision-making processes and provide a complete overview of production processes, are becoming more necessary day by day with the rapid increase in data. Thanks to data-driven technologies that help companies cope with rapid changes in demand by making forecasting methods more reliable, manufacturers can produce efficiently, highly customized and personalized products. Mitsubishi Electric Factory Automation Systems EMEA President Hartmut Pütz emphasizes that artificial intelligence and ‘smarter’ operations enable more efficient and cost-effective factory operations.

Noting that making the elements in a factory ‘smart’ and focusing on bottleneck applications can greatly increase productivity and efficiency, Pütz explains that artificial intelligence, with its important role in predictive maintenance, helps manufacturers achieve significant savings in operational costs. For example, artificial intelligence; It helps factories eliminate possible major risks they may encounter by preventing costly, unexpected equipment failures and emergency shutdowns.

Noting that factory automation will further develop in the future with the power of data, Pütz states that manufacturers need to optimize data use and management and adopt artificial intelligence in order to stand out in the digitalizing industrial environment and quickly adapt to the ever-changing needs of the market. Although data-driven operations will shape the future of the manufacturing industry, most data is still not used effectively enough. To solve this problem, Hartmut Pütz recommends the “Kaizen Level Smart Production” (SMKL) model, which is based on the need for better use of data in factories and uses small steps such as the Kaizen method to improve production.
