AIxWARE in-house smart-manufacturing platform
AIDC says its in-house AIxWARE platform raised average line utilisation by 20%
Problem
AIDC, a Taiwanese defence aerospace manufacturer, ran a large mix of machine brands and control consoles. Equipment upkeep and production scheduling took many labour hours.
Approach
AIDC built the AIxWARE platform in-house. It links more than 60 equipment brands and over 2,000 machines and control consoles. It uses data to predict equipment health and to schedule production automatically. Staff also use 77 generative AI applications across 22 departments. AIDC sells the platform to more than 40 small and medium-sized firms, which is a separate business from its own use.
Results
Takeaway
AIDC reports gains in utilisation, labour hours and energy use from one platform on its own shop floor. The figures are the company's own.
