Scanfil is taking steps to explore how AI can enhance daily work at Scanfil. By proof of concept (POC) testing AI-powered solutions, Scanfil is learning how modern technology can make quality management smarter and more efficient.
“A dedicated project team, including factory quality teams, global quality, and IT, has been testing AI’s potential in analyzing complaint data. The goal is to speed up trend identification, suggest corrective actions, and automate Eight Disciplines Methodology (8D) reports to make the processes even more effective. The team has carefully evaluated different use cases and analyzed how different AI solutions support quality management operations, while ensuring that the approach is both innovative and effective,” says Vesa Weiste, Global Head of Quality and Functionality at Scanfil.
The testing of AI solutions covers numerous aspects of the quality management processes. By leveraging AI technology, Scanfil aims to handle vast amounts of data more efficiently, which includes monitoring real-time data and historical records. This allows to predict potential issues before they escalate, ensuring that the operations run smoothly.
Benefits of quality management with AI
- Faster insights: AI-driven data analysis helps to find patterns and issues quicker. This rapid identification allows for timely interventions, minimizing disruptions and enhancing overall productivity.
- Smarter solutions: AI helps to identify trends and suggests corrective actions. These intelligent recommendations are based on comprehensive data analysis, ensuring that the solutions are both practical and effective.
- Improved efficiency: Enhanced quality processes benefit all sites. Streamlined operations mean less downtime, higher output quality, and better resource management, which ultimately translates to a more robust supply chain and customer satisfaction.
“This is just the beginning of our journey toward Industry 5.0, where people and AI work together to create more sustainable, flexible, and innovative quality management,” tells Vesa Weiste and continues, “By embracing new technologies and global collaboration, we’re strengthening our competitive edge and taking quality standards to the next level. Our commitment to integrating AI into our processes reflects our dedication to continuous improvement and our proactive approach to industry advancements.”
