In the aerospace sector, SDM has proven invaluable for improving production efficiency and reducing costs. One manufacturer implemented an SDM solution to optimize the production of aircraft components. By integrating AI and machine learning into their manufacturing systems, the company could adjust production schedules and allocate resources based on real-time demand, minimizing waste and delays. As a result, the manufacturer was able to reduce lead times, lower costs, and increase production flexibility, allowing them to meet customer demands with greater efficiency.

In practice, predictive maintenance has revolutionized manufacturing operations. For example, a large automotive manufacturer implemented AI-powered predictive maintenance across its global production lines. By analyzing real-time sensor data, the system predicted when machines were likely to fail, allowing maintenance teams to intervene before breakdowns occurred. This proactive strategy significantly reduced downtime and saved the company millions in repair costs, while also extending the operational life of the machines. The success of this program highlighted the potential for AI and automation to transform maintenance practices across industries.

In real-world applications, ABB's grid automation solutions, combined with Netcontrol's technologies, can significantly improve the management of complex power grids. For instance, utilities facing the challenge of integrating increasing amounts of renewable energy can utilize predictive analytics to better forecast demand and optimize power flow. In regions prone to extreme weather, such as hurricanes or heatwaves, automation can enhance grid resilience by enabling rapid recovery and minimizing downtime during disruptions.
