Glass manufacturer Saint-Gobain has started using both predictive AI and Gen AI across some of its processes and functions. It is now looking to broaden the use of AI across all its processes.
“The company has already invested a lot of manpower, time and funds into AI and will continue to invest heavily as we are seeing the returns,” said B Santhanam, CEO, Asia Pacific, Saint-Gobain.
Going forward, for all new production lines, the glass maker intends to use machines that come with preinstalled edge devices. An edge device is an endpoint on the network which is an interface between the data centre and the real world.
Santhanam said Saint-Gobain has been able to reduce customer complaints by 5X in the last one year with the use of an AI-enabled camera that delivers high speed video analytics. “This has helped in identifying the unseen defects in our end products - glass and gypsum.”
The number of finger injuries and man machine collisions at Saint-Gobain have also reduced with the use of AI-enabled machines and devices.
