Engineering &
Manufacturing

Much of the Engineering & Manufacturing industry still relies on receptive, human centric tasks: assembly and supply chain optimization, costing, invoicing, PDF and document processing, quote requests and re-quoting, preparing spreadsheets and reports, and duplicate data entry between disconnected systems. Recent advancements and automation solutions allow you to quickly and cost effectively solve nearly all these bottlenecks in your business, allowing humans to focus on the cerebral tasks that increase productivity and occupational satisfaction.

Today

XYZ Engineering and Manufacturing Company is introduced to Cast Services. The leadership discusses Ai and automation, identifying areas for improvement such as:

  • Predictive maintenance
  • Supply chain optimization
  • Robotic process automation (RPA) for production processes
  • Assembly and production line optimization using Ai

Month 1

XYZ engages Cast Services to conduct an Ai & Automation Operations Assessment to uncover opportunities for efficiency and ROI. XYZ decides to undergo a company wide assessment, focusing on every major department, not just the manufacturing centers.

Month 2

Organizational Assessment concludes with 9 potential high-return projects identified, focusing on predictive maintenance, quality control, and supply chain management. Key stakeholders and managers are involved in this process as a company wide initiative.

Month 3

XYZ leadership decides to execute two of the uncovered opportunities, prioritizing predictive maintenance and supply chain optimization.

Month 4

Project 1 Start Development – Predictive Maintenance System.

CAST begins building and integrating a system to monitor equipment health and predict failures before they occur. The goal is to achieve a 30% reduction in downtime. This system utilizes machine learning algorithms to analyze sensor data and identify patterns indicative of equipment degradation.

Month 5

Project 1 Complete – Predictive Maintenance System.

Result: Reduces downtime by 35% and extends equipment life by predicting and addressing maintenance issues proactively.

Month 6

Project 2 Start Development – Automated Supply Chain Management System.

Cast starts building a process to optimize inventory levels, forecast demand, and improve supplier collaboration. The goal is to achieve a 20% efficiency gain. This includes deploying AI for demand forecasting and blockchain technology for transparent and secure supply chain transactions.

Month 8

Project 2 Complete – Automated Supply Chain Management System.

Result: Reduces inventory costs by 40% and improves supply chain visibility, leading to more efficient and responsive operations

Month 9

XYZ leadership engages Cast Services to conduct an on-site full day workshop to learn about Ai solutions and tools. This Ai & Automation primer fosters a modern approach to manufacturing processes, pointing to current success cases in the manufacturing industry and explaining the XYZ solutions in greater depth. This encourages XYZ staff to embrace Ai & automation enhancements

Month 10

Project 3 Start Development – Ai-Powered Quality Control.

Cast implements an Ai system to streamline quality control processes, reducing time spent on inspections and improving defect detection. The system uses computer vision to analyze product images and identify defects in real-time.
The goal is a 20% efficiency gain within 90 days.

Month 11

Project 4 Start Development – Digital Twin Technology.

Cast customizes a system to create digital twins of manufacturing processes, enabling real-time monitoring and optimization. This project leverages advanced simulation models to replicate and improve physical manufacturing environments, enhancing decision-making and process efficiency.

12 Months and Beyond...

Continuous improvement and adoption of Ai tools in other areas such as energy management, production scheduling, and workforce management. This includes using Ai-driven energy analytics to optimize energy consumption, machine learning for dynamic production scheduling, and RPA for automating administrative tasks.

By integrating these advanced Ai tools and strategies, XYZ Engineering and Manufacturing can expect significant efficiency gains and improved operational workflows, keeping them at the forefront of the industry.

Opportunities for Ai & Automation in the Engineering & Manufacturing

Client Contact and Outreach

Account management, sales, billing and underwriting are all departments that need to message, set followup tasks, and create responses. Whether it is 10 or 100 templates or processes, suggestive messaging and intelligent systems can help save you time, money, and give your team back their processing power for more critical and nuanced tasks.

Scheduling and Rescheduling

Whether it is Ai or good old fashioned automation. Scheduling and rescheduling processes can be aided by systems that can interact with online calendars, take and make AI-powered phone calls

Kent Olson After nearly 18 years of doing things completely independently with our lead generation, website and proprietary systems, we needed to fine-tune what we were doing. We were looking for an additional set of eyes that were fresh, experienced and had a track record of success. So very thankful to have found David, Chris and their team at CAST Services! With their consult we are “re-igniting” and once again tracking towards realizing our potential.

Mark Kuhl We were struggling financially for a while, then we found CAST. Chris and David flew out to Montana, gave us hope, direction, advice, and friendship. We are now back on track and strong as ever. No matter what is going on, CAST is there, and I love them like brothers. Business analytics, marketing, website design—they have it all. We truly appreciate CAST and what they are doing for the industry.
