Industrial Data Science & AI

Avencore helps industrial companies address complex manufacturing, engineering, and supply chain challenges with tailored data science models and operational tools. Combining industrial expertise with advanced analytics, Operations Research, and machine learning, the service starts from operational needs and develops solutions with client teams. Its 10-week proof-of-concept approach covers data processing, model development, and tool development, with outputs validated by operational teams and integrated into existing processes. Solutions can be delivered as desktop or on-premises server-hosted applications.

• Build Models For Industrial Challenges
  Models are tailored to each client’s context and designed to address operating conditions, including capacity, cycle times, technical complexity, logistics flows, cost structures, and governance processes.
• Optimize Industrial Operations
  Optimization models support scheduling and engineering decisions, including prototype configuration and test sequencing, to improve performance under actual operating constraints.
• Deliver An Operational Proof Of Concept
  The staged approach moves from data preparation to iterative model development and then tool development, with regular reviews and validation involving operational stakeholders.
• Deploy Tools Into Existing Processes
  Model and interface integration turns analytical outputs into executable tools that teams can use within their operations rather than isolated proofs of concept.
• Build And Validate Models With Teams
  Operational stakeholders participate in development and validation, helping ensure teams recognize model outputs, trust them, and can integrate them into their work.
• Identify High-Impact Industrial AI Use Cases
  A free industrial AI diagnostic helps identify where AI can create value and which use cases may have high impact within operations.
• Prepare Reliable Data For Modeling
  Structured data processing creates a centralized, reliable foundation for model development, using data assessment, dataset cleaning, workshops, measurements, and benchmarks as appropriate.
• Forecast Key Operational Variables
  Forecasting models can improve demand visibility and support decisions concerning logistics capacity, energy costs, and component pricing.
• Avoid Black Boxes And Recurring Fees
  The delivery approach is designed to give client teams tools they can operate and use, without a black-box approach or recurring subscription model.
• Detect Operational Inefficiencies
  Detection capabilities help identify quality issues, anomalies, and non-value-added logistics flows within industrial operations.
