AI Use Cases
Predict and support mitigation of unplanned downtime
Network Operations
Reduce unplanned downtime to identify, monitor and pre-emptively predict the failure of the drivers of unplanned network downtime. Model complex networks and analyse historic data to understand probable causes of major problems and interruptions.
Optimise network traffic load balancing
Network Operations
Examine network traffic to triage network traffic bottlenecks and provide real-time incentives and/or intervention to reduce or re-route traffic during overload situations. Load balancing identifies and rebalances network traffic based on current and forecasted traffic needs and current network capacity.
Forecast network demand
Network Operations
Forecasting network demand (average demand, surge demand, minimal viable demand) based on predicted network usage behaviours, patterns, trends and likely upcoming events (e.g. cold weather). Helping determine future capacity needs (e.g. retail locations, new plant, new networks) ensures better planning outcomes including potential (what if) working situations.
Optimise engineer field force labour allocation
Network Operations
Optimise field force labour allocation - engineers and support staff. This is especially important at moments of network crisis (e.g. in the event of natural disaster) - although this may also be when humans are most likely to override any algorithmic decisions.
Predict potential quality issues with products through visual recognition
Production Ip
Use technologies, such as machine vision, to better detect quality control issues during key processes - vegetable sortign for quality for example. This will potentially help generate a better understanding of which internal processes, workflows and factor contribute most and least to meeting quality objectives.
