They call it mellow yellow

Chipzilla has rolled out a version of its AI platform that aims to help enterprises in the manufacturing and aerospace industries improve product quality and optimise supply chains.

Dubbed the Intel Saffron AI Quality and Maintenance Decision Support suite the software is a collection of AI powered software applications that speed up issue resolution for technical operations teams in complex manufacturing and aerospace businesses.

The platform uses technology Intel gained via its 2015 acquisition of Saffron, makers of a cognitive computing platform that now plays into Intel's internet of things, big data, and security efforts.

The new software uses Saffron's associative memory learning and reasoning AI technology to analyze structured and unstructured text data sets to find hidden patterns, trends, and similarities.

It also looks at previous issues and how they were resolved, who resolved them, and what information was needed. Chipzilla said that it does not rely on statistical models that need to be trained. According to Intel, the system will provide enterprises with a faster time to issue resolution, a boost in product quality, better maintenance planning, and supply chain optimisation.

"Customers including Accenture, a major aircraft manufacturing company, and even Intel are already receiving tremendous value from Intel Saffron AI software", said Gayle Sheppard, VP and GM of the Saffron AI Group at Intel. "It digs into disparate data sources to surface customers' best practices, providing them with the meaningful insights needed to resolve issues faster."
