From the Web Shop to the Shop Floor Automating Business Processes with AI

Abstract

The manufacturing sector continues to be held back by the lack of growth impulses both domestically and internationally, strong competition, and high energy costs. A true boost in productivity would be beneficial, as it could provide manufacturers with the necessary momentum to ideally pull themselves out of the economic trough. But how can this be achieved? The use of artificial intelligence promises to unlock new productivity potential: Combined with a formalized process map, entire segments of the workflows for processing manufacturing orders can already be automated today - while simultaneously optimizing the reliability of production planning.
