Do we need to have our data organized to get started?
No. The first stage is precisely to see what information is available today, even if it lives in spreadsheets or on paper. If a database is missing, building it becomes the first stage of the project.
Do the models run on our infrastructure?
It depends on the case: your own cloud, the model provider’s cloud, or an on-premise installation when the data cannot leave the plant.
Does this replace the ERP?
No. The models work on top of the ERP and the existing plant systems, with traceability for every automated decision.
How long until we see the first result?
A prototype of the model on real data is ready in two to three weeks. A model in production takes between 8 and 16 weeks, depending on integration.
