Tackling Manufacturing Challenges with Generative AI

The Current Landscape in Manufacturing

The manufacturing sector is facing significant challenges as it approaches 2025. Three major crises are emerging simultaneously:

1. Aging skilled workforce and disruption of technology transfer
2. Chronic workforce shortages leading to increased strain on operations
3. Delays in digital transformation (DX) resulting in reduced international competitiveness

Interestingly, over 70% of manufacturing firms are either adopting or considering generative AI. This trend extends beyond administrative tasks like email drafting and document search; it is rapidly transitioning towards the exploitation of on-site data and technical information. Companies are moving beyond the experimentation phase and are seeking tangible results.

Benefits of Incorporating Generative AI

Incorporating generative AI into daily operations can lead to significant cost reductions, estimated between 800,000 to 1,920,000 yen per month. Key benefits include:

• - Substantial reductions in administrative and indirect operational tasks
• - Decreased time for on-site response and troubleshooting
• - Faster technical information retrieval and report generation

These improvements can be equated to an annual profit increase of approximately 10 million yen, directly linking this initiative to better management outcomes rather than mere IT investments.

Understanding Generative AI Beyond Chatbots

Generative AI is more than just a tool for quality inspection—it serves as a digital assistant capable of leveraging human insights around the clock. Key functionalities include:

• - Automatically generating daily reports, minutes, and documents
• - Estimating causes of issues during crises and searching for past cases
• - Supporting on-the-job training (OJT) by facilitating knowledge retrieval from seasoned professionals

This AI is powered by RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) technology, ensuring answers are based on internal manuals, prior reports, and technical documents, rather than generic AI knowledge.

Specific Use Cases in Manufacturing

1. Reduction of indirect tasks and administrative workloads
- Automatic generation of reports and minutes
- Searching through internal guidelines and manuals
- Drafting emails and reports

2. Immediate solutions for manufacturing challenges
- Detecting signs of equipment anomalies and predictive maintenance
- Assisting in technical knowledge transfer and OJT
- Accelerating troubleshooting responses

By freeing engineers to focus on their core tasks—manufacturing, developing, and improving—significant productivity improvements can be achieved.

Features of Comix's Generative AI Support Package
