The availability of the first real, commercial, solutions using practically applied Artificial Intelligence (AI) appears to have really caught the imagination of industry

March’s DIA EuroMeeting proved the perfect launch-pad for PLG inVolv, the selective social listening tool which uses machine learning to sift out critical safety mentions in open online forums.

What’s nice about PLG inVolv is that it’s a SaaS proposition, run in a secure, private cloud - it also comes with a managed service option - making it very easy for companies to switch on and use (or have someone do this for them) so they’re not adding to their own workload. Weniger anzeigen

Alchemy is a customisable software solution which, when implemented allows process manufacturers to optimise their internal reverse supply chain processes and gain insight into the comparative value of alternative re-use pathways.
Situation
For most organisations, materials are returned through the reverse logistics function – whether they are product returns, damaged goods or warehouse returns. In most instances, the reverse logistics model employed is designed to minimise costs, allowing materials to accumulate over time and eventually be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner, or at the very least, in an environmentally compliant manner.
For the Process Manufacturing industry the process of recovering value from returned products can be frustrated by the fact that materials cannot be broken into their component parts, and also by the fact that ERP solutions do not cater well for this function.
Opportunity
There is a significant opportunity for recovering value from returned products with a carefully designed process and toolset designed to identify hidden value before scrapping. Even though companies try to minimise loss through careful disposal or selling on, we have found that they cannot fully evaluate the best options or take advantage of the opportunities.
Alchemy
Alchemy works by doing a few things very well. Alchemy will help by:
• making a moving target clearer
• capturing knowledge
• focusing attention on what is important
• making complex tasks simple
• consolidating activities
• measuring performance
• driving improvement Weniger anzeigen
