iBase-t, the global leader in cloud software for Aerospace and Defense industries, has officially announced the launch of Solumina AI.
According to certain reports, the stated solutions blends the power of AI into the company’s proprietary Solumina Manufacturing Operations platform to help customers achieve greater precision, efficiency, and adaptability, something which is crucial for an industry experiencing record growth.
More on the same would reveal how Solumina AI is expected to facilitate the development of a Solumina Digital Subject Matter Expert (Solumina Digital SME). To give you some context, Solumina Digital SME is an AI-enabled copilot designed to help MES, Quality and MRO Sustainment teams use Solumina more effectively and make faster, more informed decisions through Solumina-data-driven contextual guidance.
You see, by acting as an assistant, Solumina Digital SME make it possible for iBase-t customers to reach upon intelligent data-driven decisions, and therefore, work more efficiently, accelerate production cycles, as well as drive first-time quality. Such a setup, like you can guess, treads up a long distance to address critical industry challenges like lengthy lead times, constrained capacity, and backlogs.
“iBase-t’s AI strategy is focused on leveraging our unique experience and expertise in solving the most complex Aerospace & Defense manufacturing challenges,” said Naveen Poonian, President and CEO of iBase-t. “Our customers are seeking tools that help them simplify their manufacturing and sustainment processes, maintain exceptional quality, and enhance productivity without requiring extensive user training.”
To understand the significance of such a development, we must take into account how, if we go by a report from Bain & Company, 75% of advanced manufacturing companies now prioritize AI adoption to enhance productivity in manufacturing, maintenance, and quality control.
As for how Solumina Digital SME will capitalize upon this growing demand, the answer begins from its promise, like we briefly touched on, to provide contextual guidance for operators. You see, Like a GPS navigation app, Solumina Digital SME happens to bear a specialized design for guiding users through tasks with step-by-step assistance. This involves providing just in time answers and guidelines for manufacturing execution based on the institutional knowledge captured in Solumina Digital SME.
Next up, there is the potential for personalized learning and proficiency assistance. Basically, when integrated with existing Solumina knowledge bases, Digital SME can provide tailored tips, shortcuts, and answers to users’ questions, all for the overarching purpose of fostering rapid skill development and addressing the challenge of a retiring workforce. Joining that would be the prospect of cross-functional learning platform that scales with your needs.
Furthermore, Solumina Digital SME can cut down on onboarding time for new employees through a facility of instant access to digitized knowledge. On top of that, in contrast with human mentors, the AI element can also come in handy to train multiple employees simultaneously without diluting expertise.
“By embedding these capabilities into the Solumina platform, customers can harness institutional knowledge and accelerate skill transfer,” said Sung Kim, CTO at iBase-t. “This innovation allows manufacturers to ensure that today’s workforce challenges don’t become tomorrow’s operational risks.”
