Data management and administration have emerged as one of the most valuable resources for businesses today. The ability to gain competitive advantages in the market largely depends on how these data are managed and transformed into useful information. Without a doubt, data has become the cornerstone of the modern economy.
The industry has fully recognized the importance of artificial intelligence (AI) for its advancement. As previously mentioned, integrating AI-based analytical tools allows companies to maximize the information generated by their operations, turning it into a key resource for decision-making. Intelligent solutions help businesses better tackle challenges such as workload overload, inventory fluctuations, machine failures, and other unforeseen events that can impact production. Automated and dynamic plant planning, once unimaginable, is now a reality.
Despite these advancements, many companies still face challenges in sharing the vast amounts of data they generate. In many cases, legal barriers prevent smooth information exchange between different entities. This is where initiatives like the aiXia project, led by Lantek for the creation of federated AI services, become significant. This project involves companies from various sectors such as metal, travel, health, and software, aiming to develop an AI-driven infrastructure that facilitates the secure and legal exchange of data between organizations.
The aiXia proposal includes a next-generation, decentralized, and scalable architecture designed to provide access to critical data and optimize decision-making, thus reducing the time and effort required by teams. In a competitive industrial environment, it is crucial to move quickly to avoid losing ground. Artificial intelligence is no longer optional but a necessity, and companies must integrate it into their essential processes as soon as possible to remain competitive.
Premium Turkish laser manufacturer Nukon is one of Lantek’s OEM collaborative partners, combining the 2D and 3D technology of Nukon’s lasers with the expertise Lantek brings to the industry with its Lantek Expert software for programming 2D lasers and its Flex3D software for tube cutting lasers.
The Digital Factory is much more than a concept or an increasingly widespread expression, it’s a methodology aimed at the 21st-century company, a company that simply must be linked to technology and digitization.
Project-based management is increasingly common within the world of software. The increasingly digitized environment requires comprehensive software solutions that provide relatively simple solutions to organizations’ productivity issues. This has forced partners like Lantek to offer customized solutions that efficiently respond to its customers’ particular problems. In order to deliver on all the commitments made with the highest quality and minimal risks to sales, the implementation of project-based management has become an essential tool within our sector.
