Ask your MES: Instant answers & guided actions for daily plant operations
Every day, plant personnel lose critical production time navigating multiple screens, cross-referencing master data, and relying on experienced colleagues to solve operational bottlenecks. While the data already exists, finding the right answer often takes far longer than it should. What if you could simply ask your production system a question and receive an accurate, actionable answer within seconds?
The PSImetals Factory Model chatbot is an AI assistant embedded directly into PSImetals. It leverages your production context and retrieves information from the Factory Model – your single source of operational truth – to deliver accurate, contextualized answers in natural language.
During the live webinar, we will challenge the chatbot with real operational questions from scrap management and material availability. Scrap is considered modern-day gold for steel and aluminum producers. However, daily disposition queries can consume significant production time. Watch a live demonstration in which the chatbot answers these questions instantly.
Whether you are looking to drive operator productivity, eliminate search times, or make operational knowledge instantly accessible, this session will prove how Industrial AI can transform your operation into a highly efficient execution engine.
What will you gain ?
- Experience how the embedded Factory Model and documentation chatbot answers complex operational queries in seconds using a real scrap management scenario.
- See how inventory, production schedules, and material master data are instantly correlated without manual searching.
- Discover how the same AI approach can support scheduling, quality management, and other production processes.
- Learn how a 3-Day Proof of Value Assessment allows you to evaluate the tool using your actual plant data.
