aioneers, a pioneering provider of AI-powered supply chain management solutions, is pleased to announce its collaboration with SGL Carbon to transform and optimize the company's demand planning process. This strategic collaboration aims to enhance forecast accuracy and drive substantial value for SGL Carbon's "Extruded" product line within BU Graphite Solutions.
SGL Carbon is a global leader in technology-driven solutions, specializing in carbon-based materials including specialty graphite, carbon fibers, and composites. With operations spanning Europe, North America, and Asia and a workforce of approximately 4,800 employees, SGL Carbon serves industries at the forefront of technological innovation, including climate-friendly mobility, semiconductor technology, LED lighting, solar and wind energy, and lithium-ion battery production.
SGL Carbon's collaboration with aioneers is driven by its strategic focus on enhancing its supply chain performance for its "Extruded" product line through advanced demand planning. By implementing aioneers' AI-based software, AIO Platform, SGL Carbon aims to significantly improve forecast accuracy, optimize inventory levels, and reduce shortages. Both SGL Carbon and aioneers will initially focus on creating a digital supply chain model to enable forecast accuracy and forecast value add analysis, incorporating external indicators to refine predictions. The AIO Platform will offer visual insights into forecast deviations, seamlessly integrating with SGL Carbon's existing systems and S&OP cycle to drive decisions that will impact business performance, optimizing costs and inventories for their supply chain. Additionally, aioneers will support SGL Carbon in building internal capabilities through targeted training and documentation, ascertaining that SGL experts will use the AIO Platform to its full potential.
"We have identified the critical need to advance our demand planning capabilities to keep pace with market dynamics and meet customer expectations," stated Dr. Michael Wiech, Director of Supply Chain Management for Business Line EIS within BU Graphite Solutions at SGL Carbon. "By adopting aioneers cutting-edge Artificial Supply Chain Intelligence solution, we aim to leverage their innovative technology and expertise to take our supply chain planning to the next level," he added.
Using a phased approach that ensures a swift go-live within four months, aioneers is implementing its AI-powered software, AIO Platform, to deliver tailored solutions integrating machine-learning-based forecasting engines and insightful analytics dashboards into SGL Carbon's operational framework.
"We greatly value the opportunity to collaborate with SGL Carbon and improve supply chain performance together," said Dr. Christoph Kilger, Co-CEO & Founder of aioneers.
