## Background for Launching This Service
In recent years, Japanese manufacturing has faced severe labor shortages due to an aging population and declining birthrate, as well as difficulties in skill transfer due to the retirement of experienced technicians. Many sites still rely on paper or Excel-based management, making it impossible to grasp equipment operating status or production progress in real-time. A significant challenge is the "personalization" of operations, where responses to troubles depend on specific individuals. Furthermore, even with system introductions, human confirmation, judgment, and transcription between multiple systems often create bottlenecks, leading to a lack of substantial operational efficiency.
To solve these issues, our company has provided a "production management AI agent" specifically for manufacturing sites, based on the next-generation solution concept where AI not only receives instructions but also investigates and operates autonomously to automate operations at ultra-high speed.
## Overview and Features of the "Production Management AI Agent"
This solution is an AI agent that grasps all factory data and provides full support from routine task delegation to productivity improvement.
### (1) Intuitive Conversational Operation and Autonomous Automatic Execution
It offers an interface that users can operate through natural conversation. The AI not only supports context-aware responses and decision-making but also executes automated processes from an integrated system screen, dramatically improving efficiency of preceding and succeeding tasks while preserving human decision-making processes.
### (2) Integration of Real-time Data and Knowledge
Internal data such as production lines, equipment information, maintenance history, and work procedure manuals are cross-referenced with real-time data such as raw material prices, equipment sensor data, and operating hours. Utilizing RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) enables high-precision search and information reference.
### (3) Four Key Functions Specialized for Manufacturing Sites
- **Progress Tracking:** Grasps progress and delay factors in real-time based on input from the site and sensor data.
- **Cost Estimation/Actual Comparison:** AI analyzes the difference between standard time and actual time to identify factors causing cost discrepancies.
- **Knowledge Management:** Collects and accumulates work instructions and setup know-how through dialogue, and presents them to workers when needed, shortening training time.
- **Form Request:** Delegates routine tasks such as creating reports to the AI agent for automation.
### (4) Introduction Support with Effectively Zero Initial Investment
