Explore the full IDC InfoBrief sponsored by Fujitsu
Economic and geopolitical uncertainties make it tough for manufacturers to balance strategic and operational priorities. The IDC InfoBrief 'Data & AI: The Essentials for Building Robust Manufacturing Operations' sponsored by Fujitsu, explores how data and AI can boost resilience and drive efficiency.
Using a persona-driven approach, this InfoBrief explores key manufacturing initiatives, technology investment strategies, and how data and AI solutions enhance critical business KPIs such as efficiency, productivity, and resilience. It addresses the challenges faced by plant and factory operations leaders, supply chain managers, and R&D/engineering teams, while highlighting the strategic role of the CIO and C-suite executives in driving a company-wide data and AI strategy to achieve measurable performance improvements.
Explore insights from the IDC InfoBrief 'Data & AI: The Essentials for Building Robust Manufacturing Operations' in four tailored snapshot brochures for: Head of Plant / Factory Operations, Head of Supply Chain Management, Head of R&D / Engineering, and CIO / C-Suite.
Each snapshot brochure covers:
Explore the Smart Future of Manufacturing
Read our in-depth article on how data and AI are transforming manufacturing, creating smart, sustainable ecosystems. Learn about the shift from isolated smart factories to interconnected, intelligent ecosystems, where real-time data and AI-driven insights empower skilled workforces and foster a culture of continuous learning and innovation.
Master Supply Chain Volatility
Global supply chains are strained-geopolitics, rising costs, and sudden disruptions expose rigid models. Reactive strategies aren’t enough. You need resilient, predictive systems that adapt in real time.
This free e-book shows how AI-driven Supply Chain Management (SCM) turns uncertainty into opportunity:
Customer Reference: Intelligent inspection with AI
Leading manufacturer of polymer-based solutions, REHAU, joined forces with Fujitsu to implement an AI-based Quality Inspection solution. By eliminating potential defect sources and raising product quality to a new level, the solution helps lower costs and make production more sustainable.
Customer Reference: Ensuring mass production quality in real time with AI
The Oizumi Plant of SUBARU’s Gunma Manufacturing Division has greatly streamlined the quality assurance process for engine camshafts by utilizing artificial intelligence.
AI heightens the accuracy of camshaft grinding and enables optimum quality and production throughput, avoiding time-consuming manual inspection.
Volatility and fragmented processes slow growth. Discover how Fujitsu’s integrated, insight-driven manufacturing lifecycle - powered by Data and AI - builds resilience, ensures compliance, and accelerates response. Read the e-book to learn how to scale confidently and transform pressure into performance.
Modern manufacturing runs on motion-but disconnected systems, legacy data and limited visibility slow everything down. Fujitsu shows how AI‑agent–driven operational transformation turns the production supply chain into a fully connected, data‑intelligent ecosystem.
Manufacturing leaders struggle with fractured IT and OT systems, obscuring end-to-end visibility across production. Integrating AI with OT and supply chain data delivers significant benefits: reducing unplanned downtime, boosting OEE and product quality, optimizing inventory and working capital, and accelerating disruption recovery. Explore how AI augments human expertise, empowering smarter, faster decision-making.
