AI solutions

Artificial Intelligence has vast potential to provide value and benefits for society, organizations and businesses as well as individuals in their daily activities. Still, how to achieve these benefits and results is not trivial. Also the results should be thought multidimensionally, both what is the long-term goal in utilizing AI and what results should be achieved along the path that will take an organization towards the goal.

The final goal in utilizing AI technologies relates many times to improved productivity, cost savings through efficiency gains, better quality, improved safety and even well-being at work as repetitive work tasks can be replaced and supported by automation. We have developed a deep and versatile know-how to select the right data and AI approach as well as technologies and algorithms to achieve significant measurable benefits in the above mentioned value points. We have a true passion to help our customers to achieve those results that they are setting for their AI and digitalization journey. 

While the overall objective is in most cases a quantifiable business or other benefit, it is very important to set the right kind of ambitious and realistic objectives that enable achieving the long-term goal. We have established an effective and flexible customer co-creation model that has proven to provide high-value results all the way from proof-of-concepts and prototypes to production-grade AI solution deployments. By setting these mid-term targets and achieving results along the way, you are able to build up trust within the project core group as well as towards the interest groups following the progress. During this process we always openly share our AI understanding with our customers so that in every step they are more knowledgeable to set the goals for the next automation phase. It is amazing how quickly many of our customers’ development team members have picked up the AI development philosophy and are then ready to move their organization to the next level.

This is a great question. Certainly there are some lines of business and activities that will not gain direct benefits out of AI, but you could even state that most of the industries are benefiting and will benefit from these technologies.

One good and simple starting point on how to approach this is to think that is there a routine task that either the company and/or an individual person would benefit by automation. Automation many times comes hand-in-hand with digitalization of a process or activity, which is one of the building blocks also for AI-based automation. Through digitalization the data foundation of an activity gets established and that opens up opportunities to utilize different AI and machine learning technologies from video and image based computer vision to sensor based optimization as well as text based Natural Language Processing (NLP). 

The question related to competence is very relevant. Still the AI technology and service market has evolved in such a huge scale during the past 5 years that access to knowledge is easy and the amount of tools and services available is beyond the need of a single organization that is about to start an AI journey. 

A good approach is to gather some initial understanding of AI-utilization examples that somehow are of interest to your own business or activity, and then engage with peer companies or AI expert companies to get help, ideas and guidance. The entry barrier to start  is nowadays very low, the market and its actors are ready to support companies interested in AI from the first initial discussion all the way to utilizing the latest and greatest technologies in production level solutions.
