The Power of Manufacturing Software
Supply chain disruptions — unpredictable supplies, product shortages, increasing material costs — continue to have a profound impact on manufacturers worldwide. In response, remanufacturing, which has long been a part of the industry, has seen a surge in popularity in recent years.
Rethinking AI and Innovation: From Output-Driven to Process-Centric
Most of the hype related to GenAI in the industrial environment centers around applications and use cases. I call this output-driven.
Users and internal sponsors find it easy to understand this approach because they can see the benefits and ROI of the solutions. There is a tool, clear CAPEX and OPEX, and an obvious result.
The approach is transparent and straightforward: Do you need an industrial co-pilot? You got it. Do you need a knowledge management tool? Here it is.
