A manufacturing shop floor of a 3D printing company was overburdened with multiple orders from diverse systems. The arduous task of managing the raw material, which included processing, loading, blending, unloading, manual quality checks, and recycling, was taking a toll on productivity.
Despite the trials, this tale does have a happy ending, with a 65% reduction in manual intervention. The headcount of the labour team involved in the processes went down from fifty to five!
You may question the authenticity of these figures and wonder if the team had a magic wand or a fairy godmother. Well, your hypothesis will be refuted, as the only magic that worked wonders for this company was a tool powered by artificial intelligence (AI).
The 3D printing firm approached a digital product engineering company called Nagarro for a solution. Nagarro developed a raw material management application on Mendix, a low-code development platform. This application allowed the 3D printing company to automate the raw material management processes and allowed the workers to gain analytical insights on the material used, reducing wastage.
The lingering question that remains unanswered is, what is a low-code development platform and where is the magic of this AI-powered tool?
From medical diagnostic tools to self-driving cars, AI has transformed how we work and perform our tasks. The world is moving towards a technology paradigm, powered by AI to automate repetitive and optimisable chores, allowing humans to focus on high-level tasks that require creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking.
