3. Problem Statement
Excess Inventory
According to HACKETT GROUP
2018 WORKING CAPITAL
SURVEY, excess inventory worth
$443 Billion is stranded in
supply chains.
Inefficient Logistics
According to AMERICAN TRUCKING
ASSOCIATION, 42 Billion trucks
are driving empty miles worth,
per year – creating 97 million tons
of CO2.
Carbon Footprint
As per US Environmental
Protection Agency, 4 Trillion
Pounds CO2 is emitted from
manufacturing companies (that’s
4,000,000,000,000), 35x the mass
of the Great Wall of China.
Sounds like the problems worth solving!
4. Problem Statement
Downtime cost
98% of organizations say a
single hour of downtime costs
over $100,000.
Sounds like the problems worth solving!
Skilled labor shortage
Approximately 22% of skilled
manufacturing workers will be
retiring within the next 10 years.
Scrap generated due to
faulty products
The estimated annual wastage is
$1,200,000, due to scrap
generated from faulty products.
5. Problem Statement
Excess Inventory
Demand Prediction AI
algorithms combined with
historical demand patterns,
with automated production
commodity, global news, and
macroeconomic events can
unlock powerful breakthroughs
in forecast accuracy for optimal
level of inventory.
And, Here is the Solution
Inefficient Logistics
Creation of Digital Twin with Health AI
and fleet mapping - mapping every
trip, breakdown, or other unplanned
incident, and then feeding that data
into machine learning models can
enable optimised Logistical Planning
Carbon Footprint
Automation, augmented reality and
the Internet of Things (IoT), could
accelerate the deployment of
renewable energy in manufacturing;
reduce carbon emissions; optimize
energy-use; and enhance
productivity and cost savings.
6. Problem Statement And, Here is the Solution
Downtime cost
Predictive maintenance, can
determine from sensor data that a
failure is imminent on a particular
piece of equipment. Operators can
plan an appropriate time to take it
offline, and internal systems can
automatically check for necessary
spare parts in advance of repairs.
Timely maintenance will lead to a
reduction in operation costs and
keep unplanned downtime to a
minimum.
Skilled labor shortage
Robotic process automation for
repetitive tasks, floor automation
and Collaborative robots, called
cobots, designed to augment the
capabilities of human workers
rather than replace them, to boost
productivity.
Scrap generated due to
faulty products
Automated workflows,
synchronization of assets,
improved tracking and scheduling,
and optimized energy
consumption inherent in the smart
factory can increase yield, uptime,
and quality, as well as reduce costs
and waste.
