Harnessing the Power of AI to Help Manufacturers Sell More at the Right Time

AI: Transforming Manufacturing—From Production to Profitability

As AI reshapes industries, manufacturers ask critical questions: How will customers discover and purchase products in an AI-driven world? And how can companies keep pace with these advancements?

At Crossroads RMC, we address these challenges with our AI Readiness Assessment (AIRA). An AIRA creates a clear, actionable digital roadmap, significantly boosting efficiency, accuracy, and strategic capabilities. This assessment ensures a smooth, swift AI transition.

AI Readiness Assessment targets key Financial areas:

  • Cash Flow Management: AI improves cash flow forecasting, identifying potential shortfalls before they impact operations.

  • Cost Control: By analyzing spending patterns, AI reveals areas for cost reduction; maintaining quality and efficiency.

  • Financial Forecasting: AI uses historical data and market trends to enhance forecasting accuracy, empowering strategic financial decisions.

AI Readiness Assessment targets key Operations areas:

  • Production Planning: AI optimizes production planning by analyzing data and forecasting demand, helping to balance workloads and minimize downtime.
  • Supply Chain Disruptions: AI predicts potential disruptions and suggests alternative suppliers or routes, enhancing supply chain resilience.
  • ​Quality Control: AI detects defects in real-time and predicts quality issues before they occur, leading to higher consistency and fewer recalls.


AI Readiness Assessment targets key Technology areas:

  • Data Management: AI organizes, analyzes, and develops actionable insights from data.
  • Security and Compliance: AI enhances cybersecurity measures by detecting anomalies and potential threats in real-time, and automates compliance checks to ensure adherence to regulatory standards.
  • ​Performance Monitoring: AI continuously monitors system performance and identifies areas for improvement, ensuring optimal operation.
     

AI Readiness Assessment target key Executive areas:

  • Operational Visibility: AI integrates data from various sources to provide real-time visibility into all aspects of the business, enhancing oversight and control.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

If it is necessary to pause sending and receiving of BOD messages on your IBM i during your month end process, it is best practice for the document flows that point to the IBM i to guarantee delivery of BOD messages. Once the month end process has been completed, you will need to Resume the ‘Receiving’ and ‘Sending’ Active Connection Points so your documents will continue to process.

Pausing Sending messages

To pause sending messages to ION:

  1. Select Connect > Active Connection Points.
  2. Select the connection point that must be paused for sending messages.
  3. In the Sending Paused column, click Pause. The page is automatically refreshed and the Sending Paused checkbox is selected. A Resume button becomes available. 

Sending of messages by this connection point is stopped....

The database in LX 8.4 has undergone a significant change from previous versions. The database has been created using SQL DDL language instead of the old DDS language. The newer format allows for LX to take better advantage of advances in IBM database technologies as they move forward. Additionally, LX will be better able to make changes to tables (aka files) in the future without causing very large MR explosions to replace all programs that use a specific table. To ease the impact of this significant change, the LX tables (aka physical files) have new names that are the same as the previous version file names but with a “P” at the end, for example IIM is now IIMP. The old file names now belong to SQL views that looks just like the tables. This change made it easier to upgrade all the LX programs without changing every reference to every file. Many of the logical files remain although some have been replaced by SQL indexes to improve performance.
