アステリア Company Overview

In recent years, the utilization of generative AI and AI agents has heightened expectations for improved operational efficiency. On the other hand, in corporate activities, there is an increasing demand to properly control important decision-making processes such as approval tasks and authority management, and to maintain governance more than ever before. In particular, the operation of approval flows often requires a review of routes and authority settings with each organizational restructuring or personnel change, which tends to increase operational burdens. Additionally, with the promotion of digital transformation (DX), various business systems have been introduced, leading to individual optimization for each business, and the issue of "data silos" has arisen due to the dispersion of data across systems. In this seminar, we will introduce a method for building a company-wide foundation that combines the workflow system "AgileWorks," which is strong in managing complex organizational changes and authority, with the data integration platform "ASTERIA Warp," which eliminates dependency on individuals and visualizes change history and specifications. This approach allows for flexible responses to changes in business while maintaining governance and reducing operational burdens, achieving inter-system collaboration.

"We aim to improve operational efficiency with AI, but progress is stalled because on-site data is scattered across paper and Excel." —— This is a problem faced by many manufacturing sites. No matter how advanced the AI implemented is, if the input data remains unorganized, results will not be achieved. Additionally, we often hear about the challenge of only achieving efficiency at the business or departmental level, without realizing optimization across the entire company. In this seminar, we will explain the approach to operational efficiency using the "Canbus." no-code tool, which can be utilized by users without limits, along with the latest OCR and AI technologies, and the data integration platform "ASTERIA Warp" that connects all data within the company to AI. We will introduce a series of methods to smoothly digitize on-site paper forms and manually entered data, automate the utilization of AI, and provide tips for achieving company-wide deployment and overall optimization, along with concrete examples.

In the manufacturing industry, systems that support operations, such as ERP, MES, and PLM, are being developed; however, many companies are facing the challenge that their manufacturing DX is not yielding the expected results. The underlying issue is that data is fragmented across different systems, making it difficult to quickly utilize the necessary information. In practice, challenges such as the need for Excel processing to aggregate production results, manual data transfer between systems, and insufficient utilization of equipment data are commonly observed in many manufacturing companies. This seminar will explain why data integration is crucial for promoting manufacturing DX and will introduce the concept of an integration platform that connects MES with ERP, quality management systems, and more. <Recommended for> - Those who feel challenges with data integration between systems like MES, ERP, and PLM - Those who want to resolve the fragmentation of systems and data that differ by factory - Those considering a review or overhaul of the integration platform centered around MES
