Driving Smart Manufacturing Transformation with AWS & AI-Powered Command Center

Manufacturers are rapidly embracing smart manufacturing solutions to overcome challenges like unplanned downtime, poor forecasting, and siloed data. NeenOpal, in collaboration with AWS industrial services, has developed an AI-powered Manufacturing Command Center (MCC) that integrates Amazon AI, Industrial IoT, and predictive analytics. Using tools like Amazon Q, our solution transforms raw manufacturing data into actionable intelligence, enabling faster decisions and improved operational efficiency.

Customer Challenges

Manufacturers today face critical roadblocks that hinder efficiency, increase costs, and delay decision-making. Before implementing the MCC, the client grappled with the following pressing challenges:

Unplanned Equipment Downtime

Unplanned Equipment Downtime

Frequent equipment failures led to significant revenue loss and production delays.

Siloed and Fragmented Data

Siloed and Fragmented Data

Data spread across MES, ERP, and legacy OT systems restricted real-time insights.

Inefficient Maintenance Processes

Inefficient Maintenance Processes

Reactive maintenance and manual troubleshooting caused operational inefficiencies.

Inaccurate Forecasting & Inventory

Inaccurate Forecasting & Inventory

Lack of AI-driven forecasting led to stockouts and excessive inventory costs.

Limited Visibility for Operators

Limited Visibility for Operators

No unified dashboard for monitoring KPIs or diagnosing performance bottlenecks.

Solutions

NeenOpal built a scalable Manufacturing Command Center (MCC) powered by AWS cloud services and AI. Our solution combines IoT data ingestion, predictive maintenance models, and interactive analytics dashboards. It leverages Amazon Q for natural language querying, allowing operators to ask real-time questions and receive actionable answers without technical complexity.

We implemented ML-driven anomaly detection to identify potential failures before they happen, reducing downtime and maintenance costs by 30%.

01

AWS IoT Core, Timestream, and Managed Grafana enabled live machine monitoring, role-based dashboards, and automated anomaly alerts.

02

Operators can now query machine health, uptime, or top-performing assets in plain English for instant answers.

03

AWS services like Kinesis, Lambda, and S3 were integrated for seamless data ingestion, storage, and visualization across QuickSight and Grafana.

04
