Zionex Corporation (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Reiko Fujiwara; hereinafter 'Zionex') is pleased to announce the release of 'T3Insight', a new feature based on AI and Large Language Models (LLM) for the enterprise SCM system 'T3SmartSCM'.
T3Insight is an analytical feature that allows users to quickly grasp necessary information for supply chain planning tasks—such as demand forecasting, sales planning, inventory planning, replenishment planning, supply planning, and production planning—through natural language dialogue (chat format).
By integrating with T3SmartSCM, users can simply enter questions to receive support with data extraction, graph display, scenario comparison, and factor analysis, realizing improved operational efficiency and advanced decision-making.
■ Background and Purpose of Releasing T3Insight
Recently, the uncertainties surrounding the global supply chain, such as geopolitical risks, rapid exchange rate fluctuations, and demand volatility, have risen to unprecedented levels. In order for companies to maintain competitiveness, it is essential not only to simply reduce costs but also to instantly derive insights from the vast amounts of internal data to make quick and flexible decisions.
To solve these challenges, Zionex has released 'T3Insight', a new feature integrating AI and LLM technologies, in addition to its existing systems that support planning operations.
■ Key Features of T3Insight
Utilization of Documents, Data, and Knowledge via AI
Equipped with three AI engines specifically designed for SCM operations—document-based Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), SQL-based data analysis, and an ontology-based AI agent—it comprehensively analyzes and utilizes manuals, regulations, databases, and operational knowledge as data. This allows users to immediately utilize functions like AI-based document chatbots, data analysis reports, and root cause analysis without any additional development.
Cross-sectional Visualization and Comparison Across the Entire Supply Chain
It links with information across the entire supply chain, including demand forecasting, sales, inventory, replenishment, supply, and production planning, allowing users to cross-sectionally review the sequence of planning workflows. This connects information that is often siloed by department, supporting the comparison of multiple scenarios and the formulation of consistent plans.
Intuitive Conversational Data Analysis Utilizing Generative AI (LLM)
In addition to traditional dashboard analytics, it enables chat-based conversational interaction with the system using natural language. For example, in response to practical questions like 'Tell me the items with a rapid surge in demand compared to last month' or 'Which items are at risk of material shortages?', it presents analysis results based on relevant data, planning history, and various factors.
Accelerated Decision-Making and Improved Planning Quality
By utilizing T3Insight, users can expect reduced analysis time, improved planning accuracy, visualization of decision rationales, and the accumulation and utilization of knowledge within the organization. Planning operations, which often rely on individual expertise, can now be conducted in a more data-driven manner.
■ Future Outlook for T3Insight
Through the provision of T3Insight, we will proceed to strengthen prediction and analysis functions that take into account not only internal factors like lead times, parts procurement, and production delays, but also external factors such as weather and promotional measures. By doing so, we aim to further advance the supply chain analysis platform and achieve more autonomous SCM in the future.
■ Comment from Reiko Fujiwara, Representative Director of Zionex
As the uncertainty in the environment surrounding supply chains increases, companies are increasingly required to have mechanisms in place to quickly grasp situations and make evidence-based decisions.
T3Insight is a feature that supports practical analysis and decision-making by utilizing the data and knowledge accumulated in T3SmartSCM. Supply chain planning tasks tend to be dependent on specific individuals, but this feature makes it easy for anyone to access necessary information through natural language dialogue. We hope that not only personnel involved in SCM operations, but also executive and management levels will utilize it as a system to accelerate management decision-making.
