Manufacturers understand the importance of precise data management to assure that sufficient materials are available in order to avoid costly production downtime. Still, many continue to rely on an outdated and error-prone patchwork of spreadsheets and manual data inputs, often leading to supply shortfalls, mislabeled products and overstocking of products that are no longer needed. This webinar will demonstrate how artificial intelligence (AI) replaces disconnected data silos with a digitized network footprint of all goods, services and logistics throughout the supply chain so that every decision is visible across the entire organization. AI’s machine learning capabilities remove materials guesswork by continually updating and interpreting market and customer trends to drive highly accurate predictive inventory analyses for indirect MRO, direct goods and even finished products. The webinar will also explain how complete digitization of data improves operational efficiency by harmonizing real-time, continually updated data across all departments and users, streamlining inventory management for speedy access to individual product stocks and available quantities.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has rapidly become part of everyday life. Connected devices are changing the way we live and work. Organizations in almost every industry sector are looking to IoT to transform the way their operations, deliver new products and services, and serve their customers. During this webinar, Bob Slevin with OpenText will join Scott Luton and Greg White and discuss how new developments in IoT can assist in leveraging tactical IoT-sourced data to realize a strategic advantage and deliver adaptive and resilient supply chain operations.
