TECH & AI
the next wave of intelligent ERP systems will arrive with integrated AI and cloud . Why ? Because both of these tools are geared towards collecting and analysing colossal amounts of data , predicting potential issues , enhancing decision-making and optimising processes .
One organisation to go all-in on ERP and AI is Epicor . The global business software provider is a recognised leader in ERP , providing a platform intimately tailored to the manufacturing industry . The Epicor Grow Portfolio combines ERP with diverse AI functionality , including detailed inventory forecasting and predictive analytics .
“ The Epicor Grow portfolio successfully harnesses this potential of AI-powered ERP ,” says Arturo .
“ The portfolio deploys a variety of AI technologies – including Gen AI , machine learning and predictive analytics – to support more than 200 specialised industry use cases . These solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly into specific environments and workflows , providing the insights and efficiencies needed for manufacturers to enhance operations .”
The Epicor Grow Portfolio ’ s subsequent data insights allow manufacturers to heighten efficiency and massively save on cost .
“ By integrating ERP systems with AI , industries are going beyond automating tasks , enabling systems to think , learn and make decisions in ways that haven ’ t been completely possible until now .” adds Arturo .
The possibilities of cloud and AI-enhanced ERP are far-reaching , from streamlining production processes to forecasting energy consumption .
Cloud ERP and AI can fast-track sustainability goals by providing a practical “ green ledger ” for tracking emissions , optimising the supply chain and ensuring ESG regulatory compliance .
Jasmeet emphasises that the relationship between AI and cloud is complementary and , arguably , integral to unlocking data ’ s true power .
“ The cloud provides the limitless data storage and processing muscle that fuels AI , while AI unlocks the hidden insights within that data to optimise production , predict failures and revolutionise efficiency ,” he says .
“ Unlocking the true value of that data requires the intelligent dance between the limitless scalability of the cloud and the transformative power of AI .
“ Without the cloud , AI is a stalled engine ; without AI , the cloud is a vast , untapped reservoir . It ’ s their combined force that propels us towards the future of intelligent manufacturing .”
Integral to the future of intelligent manufacturing is the technological convergence between ERP , AI and the Cloud . Paramount to making this convergence successful , is the integration of other innovative tools like batch historians .
