October 31, 2024 Transforming MDM for Manufacturing in the Era of Gen AI

Maextro’s October update revolutionises data management for manufacturers with AI-powered tools, enhanced UI, and MS Teams integration.

As Generative AI (Gen AI) reshapes industries, manufacturing is seeing new opportunities and challenges. Yet, one foundational aspect remains critical—data quality. According to Gartner, 85% of AI projects fail due to poor data, and by 2025, 10% of all data will be generated by AI. For manufacturers, efficient data management is now more essential than ever, directly impacting production, quality control, and supply chain processes.

Master Data Management (MDM) has often been undervalued in manufacturing, where investment is typically directed at machinery or automation. But as Gen AI becomes integral, MDM is now critical for achieving streamlined operations, high data quality, and scalable automation across the production lifecycle.

Maextro’s October update bring MDM into the Gen AI era, addressing these challenges head-on. With new AI-powered integrations, an upgraded interface, and enhanced tracking features, Maextro’s latest version provides manufacturers with a modern, efficient approach to data management.

How does Maextro’s October update support manufacturing operations?

• Enhanced Home Screen UI: An intuitive, user-centric design allows for quick access to critical data, improving navigation for production managers and plant operators.
  
• New Usage & Adoption Reporting: Get insights into system usage to identify areas for optimisation, ensuring your teams are fully utilising the tools available.
• Improved Request Tracking: Track inventory, parts requests, and order statuses with greater accuracy and visibility.
• New Reporting Logs: Review detailed logs to maintain control over data quality and traceability, essential for quality control and compliance in manufacturing.

Why is this update so important for manufacturers?

Manufacturers today rely on data as much as they do machinery. With Gen AI’s growing role in the industry, data management can no longer be an afterthought. Maextro’s October update empowers manufacturing professionals to manage and leverage data more effectively, ensuring that their operations are aligned with the evolving demands of Gen AI. This is the future of data management—intuitive, efficient, and AI-powered.

In the words of a self-proclaimed “data geek” within our team- Dan Barton (COO): “I’ve always joked about how SAP data management and governance can be a bit underwhelming, yet it’s so important to business—especially now, with the surge of AI. It’s never been more crucial, and it’s time for a refresh!”
