i5 v0.3 Demo – 2024 Nov 25
You’ve already seen (i5 Demo v0.2) how i5 harmonizes the roles of Human Users, multiple AI Agents, and the INDUSTRY-5.0 platform.
Now, we’ll explore how WidgetCo, a global manufacturer, leverages i5 to orchestrate its supply chain operations.
Start:
To start, on the left we can see all of the capabilities of i5’s AI-Agents; including comprehensive ‘end-to-end’ Processes, and Role-Specific Orientations.
On the right, we see the i5 overview of current financials, operational metrics, AI-driven analytics, and explanations.
Together, i5 can orchestrate updates to demand forecasts, production plans, and procurement.
Let’s explore how i5 brings speed, precision, and intelligence to Demand-Driven Planning.
Demand Forecaster:
The process starts with the Demand Forecaster Agent analyzing WidgetCo’s current demand forecast, inventory levels, and relevant context.
Context includes external influences like market conditions, seasonal trends, or other constraints, each with varying probabilities and confidence levels.
The agent suggests incremental adjustments to the demand forecast based on new information.
After review, the user approves the forecast adjustments – and the agent proceeds to post these forecast updates to i5.
The adjusted forecast is now live, setting the stage for the next step.
Production Planner:
With the updated forecast, the Production Planner Agent evaluates current production plans and identifies incremental requirements.
The agent summarizes findings, proposing adjustments to meet the new demand.
Upon user approval, the agent updates i5 with the incremental production requirements, ensuring transparency and traceability.
Procurement Agent:
Next, the Procurement Agent accesses the Bill-of-Materials to calculate requirements for the updated production plan. The agent determines and specifies the required quantities and delivery dates for each material. On user approval, the agent posts the new material requirements to WIDGET-co’s Demand Graph for procurement.
Explanation:
To conclude the process, the Agents provide a comprehensive explanation of what actions were taken, why they were recommended, and how they were executed.
With i5, you’ll never have to guess, “Why was that decision made?”
Summary:
To summarize, i5 transformed a familiar demand-driven planning process into a seamless flow—from forecast adjustments to production alignment to procurement.
i5 delivers Prescriptive Analysis AND Action, with Precision and full Transparency.
Traditional processes that take days or weeks—characterized by manual workflows, silos, and other inefficiencies—are completed in minutes with i5.
