Successful refactoring of critical manufacturing systems

Manufacturing execution systems (MES) are key building blocks of digitalized production. Unfortunately, many of today’s systems are outdated. Their outmoded technology prevents manufacturers from tapping the potential of Industry 4.0 use cases. Read on to learn more about putting a future-proof MES into practice.

Automated spare parts identification with AI

When a production line grinds to a halt because of a faulty component, there is no time to be wasted finding the right replacement. Identifying that part can be tricky when the component has been contaminated, damaged, or is one of countless variants. Fortunately, AI can simplify and speed up the process of identifying spare parts unequivocally.
