Global Manufacturing Excellence (GME), a leading industrial manufacturer with operations across 12 countries, transformed their operations and achieved remarkable cost savings through intelligent record management. Their journey from fragmented systems to streamlined efficiency demonstrates the power of AI-driven automation in manufacturing.
The Operational Challenge
With 15 manufacturing plants and over 10,000 employees, GME was drowning in documentation. “Every aspect of our operation generated records – from quality control reports to maintenance logs, supplier documents to compliance certificates,” explains Michael Chen, Director of Operations. “Managing these records was costing us millions while slowing down our processes.”
Critical Pain Points
The manufacturing giant faced several operational hurdles:
- Quality control documentation took 3-4 hours daily per facility
- Equipment maintenance records were often incomplete or misplaced
- Compliance audits required weeks of preparation
- Supply chain documentation delays affected production schedules
- Multiple systems created data silos across facilities
