What iLEAN does in a plant
iLEAN unifies the information of the whole factory —machines, ERP, SCADA, quality, emails and delivery notes— into a single central brain and puts it at the service of the people who run the plant. Specialised AI agents for maintenance, quality, planning and suppliers work on top of that shared memory.
The AI thinks; the hands stay yours
There are two ways to bring AI into a factory: one replaces people, the other makes them more capable. iLEAN has spent more than 25 years on the second. The AI observes, interprets and suggests; the operator, technician or supervisor decides. Any reply to a customer or supplier is always sent by a person.
