Manufacturing
Manufacturing is an important part of everything we do today. Without it we don’t have the common conveniences that we see and use every day. RealTek LLC is focused on ensuring that manufacturing is on the forefront of development, productivity, and profitability. We have years of experience of developing proper AI systems that will allow your company to thrive in a market that is notoriously high in capital and thin in profit margins .
Internet of Things (IoT)
At the center of industrial transformation is IoT, proving critical to providing companies with a competitive edge. IoT technology has streamlined and simplified various manufacturing processes. IoT can provide real-time feedback and can alert companies of defects or damaged goods. These simple yet critical implementations of IoT reduce cost and waste. Further incorporation of IoT “represents the vision of the interconnected factory where equipment is online, and in some way is also intelligent and capable of making its own decisions.” Hybrid approaches of virtual and actual content warehouses have freed up manpower on the production and collaboration side of the industry. The trend of mass customization has allowed manufacturers to more efficiently react to consumer demand. Because customers expect the products they use to be intuitive and easy to interact with, mobilization and connectedness continue to drive manufacturers to innovate faster and create software-enabled products. IoT capabilities are also changing how post-sale service is provided, offering immediate and consistent online support.
AI And Machine Learning
RealTek’s engineers are developing advanced algorithms and transforming the way the manufacturing industry collects information, performs skilled labor, and predicts consumer behavior. Smart factories with integrated IT systems provide relevant data to both sides of the supply chain more easily, increasing production capacity up to 20%. Quality is no longer sacrificed for efficiency, as machine learning algorithms determine which factors impact service and production quality. Sensors have replaced human hands, resulting in less wasted time and materials, as well as optimal accuracy and workflow. Digitizing means lower cost of production, quicker turnarounds, and more efficiently meeting customer demand.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is just now finding its niche in manufacturing, as the technology matures and costs drop—and as manufacturers discover applications for which AI algorithms can make complex decisions. And as it becomes ubiquitous, the future of artificial intelligence in manufacturing is already becoming feasible in emerging markets; showcasing better sensory capabilities; and, off the factory floor, predicting what will be needed and when.
The real driver, however, will be to develop applications for AI in manufacturing that don’t just automate tasks, but make entirely new business processes feasible—for example, custom configuration of products to individual customer requirements.
Improved Speed and Efficiency
RealTek can aid in developing proper plans for automated technology; which is an integral part in improving speed and efficiency, allowing manufacturing companies to “optimize production workflows, inventory, Work in Progress, and value chain decisions.” By integrating their IT systems, teams across the platform in various geographical locations can access relevant data, facilitating quicker, more collaborative and transparent communication. As cloud computing grows more stable, manufacturers are beginning to implement its software with more confidence. With this new level of predictive accuracy comes an improvement in condition monitoring processes, providing manufacturers “with the scale to manage Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) at the plant level increasing OEE performance from 65% to 85%.”
Data and Analytics
RealTek can aid in streamlining big data analysis. This increases the ability to manage, update, and analyze product and consumer information. We focus on what is important to manufacturers, and each case is different for each Line of Business. We aid in providing information about supply, delivery, customer support, as examples. We provide an easy way that data can be streamlined and collaboration-friendly, increasing accessibility for all stakeholders. Because production teams and consumers alike have grown accustomed to the immediacy and intuitiveness of IoT, they now expect the same from their processes and products, requiring faster innovation from manufacturers. To keep up with these expectations, digital transformation changes the way businesses manage and share product information across the enterprise, increasing production and transparency and decreasing cost and down time.
