In an industrial world focused on optimization, the Quality-Cost-Time (QCT) triangle is at the core of business priorities. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an essential tool for tackling these challenges. But how does AI manage to transform these fundamental issues in the engineering sector?
The importance of Quality-Cost-Time in Modern Industry
The competitiveness of industrial companies depends on their ability to:
Ensure impeccable quality, meeting customer expectations and strict standards;
Reduce design production, and maintenance costs without compromising quality;
Meet increasingly tight deadlines, necessary to respond quickly to market needs.
However, the objectives are often contradictory. Optimizing one parameter can negatively impact the others. This is where AI steps in, offering innovative and cross-functional solutions.
Moreover, industrial companies face several major challenges when trying to simultaneously manage these three dimensions:
Growing complexity of products: Design cycles now incorporate higher technical requirements, such as lightweight materials or reducing carbon footprints.
Fragmentation of data: Information needed for decision-making is often scattered across various systems (ERP, PLM, technical databases), slowing down analysis and increasing the risk of errors.
Uncertainty related to suppliers and supply chains: Recent disruptions have highlighted the importance of robust planning to avoid costly delays.
These obstacles demonstrate how complex it is to reconcile quality, cost, and time. Fortunately, AI offers a promising solution to overcome these issues by simplifying processes and leveraging data.
This is precisely what we will explore in the next section: how AI acts as a lever to transform industrial performance.
AI for Industrial Performance
AI is revolutionizing the industry by intervening at several levels:
Process automation and efficiency: AI-based tools analyze data in real-time, identify inefficiencies, and suggest immediate adjustments.
Informed decision-making through data: Predictive models anticipate failures, demand, fluctuations, or potential delays, allowing for better plannig.
Continuous improvement: By leagning from collected data, AI systems refine processes over time to achieve optimal performance.
Concrete example: In aerospace, deep learning algorithms are used to optimize the design of critical parts, reducing weight while meeting safety requirements.
Practical Challenges: Centralizing and Exploiting Data
To maximize AI’s potential, companies must face a major challenge: optimal use of their data. Industrial data is often scattered across various systems and databases, espcially when a company operates across multiple industrial sites globally. This fragmentation leads to time losses and limits the ability to exploit and analyze data holistically.
It is in this context that solutions like PROBE stand out by making it easier to access critical data for engineering tems and decision-markers.
