Project Description

Introduction:

Steelcase operates a complex and dynamic manufacturing environment that requires constant monitoring and optimization to maximize efficiency and profitability. One of the biggest challenges is making dynamic decisions in real-time based on changing conditions and data inputs. Inspired by Chatgpt, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has shown great potential in helping to automate and optimize these decisions, leading to increased productivity, reduced waste, and improved quality.



Project Objectives & Goals:

The objective of this project is to develop an interactive, AI-based system that can make dynamic, query-based decisions, in real-time to optimize manufacturing operations. The system will be designed to process large amounts of data from various sources, including user input, sensors, production line machines, and other IoT devices, and use this data to augment the user to make informed decisions. Overall, the goal of this project is to provide useful and effective natural language processing capabilities to users.
