Challenges facing modern manufacturing companies

Rising costs & economic downturns

Global competition and increasing operational expenses are squeezing profit margins, forcing manufacturers to navigate economic downturns and seek new ways to reduce costs without sacrificing quality.

Supply chain disruptions & volatility

Unpredictable events—from natural disasters to global pandemics—can severely impact suppliers and logistics, leading to material shortages, production delays, and increased costs.

Complexity in Integrating new technologies

Addressing the challenges of implementing and integrating new technologies in the manufacturing ecosystem is harder than ever. It is a complex and costly task, especially when dealing with legacy infrastructure and varying standards.

Handling unstructured data

Manufacturers are generating an enormous volume of unstructured data from IoT devices, sensors, and other sources. Managing and analyzing this amount of data manually is impractical.

Introducing intelligent process
automation for manufacturing

We believe that implementing intelligent automation in manufacturing processes holds the secret to staying ahead of the curve. Technologies like robotic process automation (RPA), artificial intelligence (AI), and advanced analytics are here to revolutionize your production floor. UAIN is your trusted partner on your way to digital transformation.

Streamlined supply chain 

From procurement, vendor management, and contract configuration to order modification and cancellation, claim validation, and warehouse management systems, intelligent automation in manufacturing simplifies supply chain operations.

Improved quality control

Enterprises can automate inspection processes and data analysis with manufacturing process automation to improve quality assurance. Intelligent automation systems can detect defects and inconsistencies that might escape the human eye. Plus, real-time data analysis enables immediate correction of issues to guarantee product quality.

Predictive maintenance

AI-driven analytics and RPA in manufacturing are transforming how equipment is maintained. Through machine learning, systems can predict potential machine failures and schedule maintenance before downtime occurs. As a result, you can dramatically reduce unexpected downtime and costly emergency repairs.

Optimized production line

Leverage real-time AI-powered automation systems to monitor and adjust workflows, ensuring optimal throughput and reduced bottlenecks. Automating this process allows your business to respond quickly to changes in demand or production capacity, optimizing business processes and reducing operational costs.

Our proven approach to implementing automation

We take a structured approach to ensure that your experience with intelligent automation is both smooth and impactful. Get ready to drive digital transformation across your organization with intelligent automation.

1) Evaluate automation opportunities

The first step in our automation journey is to identify the most suitable processes for automation using process mining, task mining, and communications mining. Our team assesses your current business processes, engages stakeholders, and prioritizes high-impact opportunities. We don't just look at the surface but analyze the technical feasibility within your existing IT infrastructure and conduct a thorough cost-benefit evaluation.

2) Build automation solutions

With the processes identified and optimization strategies in place, our experts set precise requirements and select automation tools. Whether it's automating procurement, quality control, or optimizing supply chain management​, we perform pilot testing to ensure accuracy. Afterward, we proceed to create the automation architecture and write the necessary scripts or programs.

3) Implement and automate

The thrilling part begins as we roll out intelligent automation solutions. Our experts set up the infrastructure and deploy the automation tools. By implementing workflows and configuring every parameter, we make sure your manufacturing operations are running seamlessly and efficiently from day one.

4) Automated testing

Prior to deployment, we ensure your automations undergo rigorous testing. We craft an airtight test plan, which includes creating test cases and defining testing criteria. Our specialists carry out various tests, such as unit, integration, and acceptance testing. By monitoring their performance in real time, we can validate results and guarantee that your system is ready to operate at its best.
5) Deployment and continuous improvement
Once your automation solution is live, our team actively monitors the initial rollout to ensure smooth operation. Plus, we offer extra services like staff training and ongoing maintenance. We're committed to keeping your automation cutting-edge in the manufacturing sector.

Intelligent automation use cases in
manufacturing

Supply chain management

Supply chain management involves numerous repetitive tasks that are ideal for automation. But with AI and RPA in manufacturing, you can sit back and watch as shipments are tracked in real time and status updates are automatically sent across all supply chain links. Goodbye, manual paperwork! Your team will thank you when they don’t have to sift through endless emails and forms to find the data they need. Bots can handle it.

Inventory management

No surprises here—maintaining the right stock levels in a fluctuating demand environment is a constant challenge. Don’t worry—intelligent automation tools have got your back. It helps by analyzing storage data to predict demand, monitor inventory levels 24/7, and alert relevant employees when stocks run low. Additionally, RPA systems can independently trigger resupply orders based on pre-set thresholds.

Data operations

The truth is that engineers spend way too much time pulling and analyzing data manually. The majority of their time is eaten up by this! With RPA and AI integrated into ERP, WMS, and CRM systems, data management tasks such as migration, updates, and collection are automated. The result? Your business handles large datasets accurately, and your engineers can finally focus on what they do best.

Customer service

Don’t forget about your customers! As your business grows, maintaining top-notch service gets trickier. Automation comes to the rescue by enabling self-service options like automated quotes and intelligent chatbots. For more complex cases, automation and AI assist customer service agents with quick retrieving of relevant customer and order data, speeding up resolution times and improving customer satisfaction.
