Background

Our company, a leading manufacturer in the industry, recognized the need to modernize our manufacturing processes and incorporate new technology to stay competitive. We identified additive manufacturing and 3D image processing as areas where we could improve efficiency and quality. However, we lacked the expertise in these areas and needed to build new digital manufacturing capabilities.

Problem

We faced several challenges in developing our new digital manufacturing capabilities. First, we needed to identify the right technology solutions that would integrate with our existing systems and processes. Second, we needed to hire or train employees with the necessary skills to operate these new technologies. Finally, we needed to ensure that our investment in this new technology would provide a return on investment by improving efficiency and quality while reducing costs.

Solution

To address these challenges, we formed a cross-functional team of experts from various departments within our company. This team worked together to research and evaluate different technology solutions for additive manufacturing and 3D image processing. After careful consideration, we selected an Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform that could analyze data from sensors on our production line and make real-time adjustments to optimize efficiency.

We also invested in training programs for our employees so they could develop the necessary skills to operate this new technology. Additionally, we partnered with external consultants who had experience implementing similar solutions in other industries.
