Mercedes-Benz launched the project integrate AI into the digital manufacturing ecosystem MO360 ChatGPT. Artificial intelligence – explains Mercedes – will help improve the quality management, error identification and analysis and process optimization.

MERCEDES TESTS CHATGPT IN ITS MO360 DIGITAL ECOSYSTEM

Mercedes-Benz AG is testing ChatGPT in productionaccelerating the use of smart tools in the MO360 digital manufacturing ecosystem, which was first introduced in 2020. With the aim of optimizing the analysis of production data, such as quality management, ChatGPT will support employees production as a universal voice interface. Mercedes integrates ChatGPT via Azure OpenAI Service, leveraging the enterprise capabilities of Microsoft’s cloud and AI platform.

WHY MERCEDES WANTS TO USE CHATGPT IN FACTORIES

For example, with ChatGPTtreatment and complex presentation of relevant data for production and quality management are greatly simplified for employees. Instead of complex programming functions, the requests are guided in a dialog, so that not only engineers, but also employees without prior programming knowledge can have the necessary data at their disposal. The questions are increasingly refined in the digital assessment process in a dialogue with the chatbot at a new level of detail. There daily production schedule can be real-time checked and adjusted flexibly if needed. On this point, ChatGPT aims to support strategic decisions for the entire production chain as quickly as possible.

MERCEDES: CHATGPT IS THE PATH TO REACHING THE NEXT LEVEL

Jörg BurzerMember of the Mercedes Benz Board of Management, responsible for production and supply chain management, said: “Using ChatGPT through Microsoft as part of the MO360 digital ecosystem is another example of how digitization takes Mercedes Benz production to the next level. Thanks to new digital tools, employees are increasingly able to sustainably optimize production processes and quality management. After a pilot phase, ChatGPT will be used throughout the Mercedes Benz global production network“.
