On Tuesday 3 November, professionals gathered at ICT Group’s office in Woerden for the Future AI MES Experience. This small-scale event focused on one central question: how can AI accelerate MES projects without losing the process and domain knowledge needed to ensure that solutions meet the needs of day-to-day operations?

From practical challenge to approach

Instead of a presentation, participants took part in a live demonstration. ICT Group specialists used practical questions to show how they approach an MES challenge and how AI can support this process. Combining AI with knowledge of processes and the shop floor helps teams reach a suitable approach more quickly.

Participants could bring their own challenges relating to MES, digitalisation or process automation. This kept the focus on practical issues and created an opportunity to discuss how an approach could work in a specific situation.

AI and domain knowledge in MES projects

MES projects are often complex and can take considerable time. During the Experience, ICT Group demonstrated how an AI-supported approach can help accelerate certain steps, while taking account of the organisational and technical context of the production environment. Domain knowledge remains essential to making a solution practical and workable on the shop floor.

Continuing the conversation about MES

We look back on a valuable event, with plenty of opportunity to exchange ideas and discuss practical challenges. Thank you to everyone who took part and contributed to the open conversations.
