Artificial Intelligence
When you modernize facilities by adding connected systems, machines and objects, your data grows—exponentially. This creates major opportunities—and serious challenges—for industrial companies. How do you extract value from raw data and use these insights to inform decisions, increase productivity and boost efficiency? Some companies instantly embraced artificial intelligence and are already benefiting from this technology. But others are still dragging their feet, reluctant to join the Industry 4.0 movement.
Are you leveraging artificial intelligence yet? Talk to our experts if you’re curious about the benefits of AI. We can help you understand your options and choose the right solutions for your business needs.

We can help you with:
-
Help your teams access your data with ease. This starts with gaining a better understanding of how information can be acquired, stored and structured. Then you need to centralize data in a single structure, such as a data warehouse, to make it available to your people.
We can support you throughout this important step in the data lifecycle with services that include:
- Audit of data acquisition and storage infrastructures
- Audit of existing data, assessment of their quality and robustness
- Recommendations for efficient use of data across the organization
- Collection, analysis and interpretations of all complex data (big data)
- Implementation of a structure to automate corporate processes, standardize data and make it easy to access within the organization
-
Increase productivity and reduce operating costs. It’s possible, if you can draw insights from your data—and that’s the hard part. Interactive visualization and automated reporting solutions can pull up key performance indicators, giving you a clear overview of your operations and a real-time snapshot of your activities.
We can support you throughout this important step in the data lifecycle with services that include:
- Development of interactive data visualization tools: Power BI, Grafana, PI Vision, etc.
- Creation of reports for an in-depth system view
- Definition and programming of key performance indicators (KPIs): productivity, efficiency, capacity, quality, profitability, etc.
- Implementation of real-time operational monitoring measures
- Development of alerts and automated informational emails
-
Get artificial intelligence working for you. You need advanced data analysis tools and platforms to develop effective AI models, like those for machine learning and deep learning. The right models lead to reliable predictions and insights for streamlining your operations.
We can support you throughout this important step in the data lifecycle with services that include:
- Operational process optimization
- Advanced data analysis (descriptive, predictive, prescriptive)
- Digital diagnostics (Industry 4.0, maturity level assessments)
- Advanced data management platform selection and integration
- Forecasting model design, implementation and deployment
- Anomaly detection
- Predictive asset maintenance
