Companies Collaborate to Prove Value of AI for Supply Chain
AI-enabled marketplace delivers cost and time savings and improves quality and efficiency in manufacturing on demand and sourcing solutions.
An AI collaboration between HeyScottie and Rapid Axis in the manufacturing sector has demonstrated the use of AI technology to deliver cost savings, increased efficiency and improved quality across the sourcing, machining and production supply chain.
HeyScottie.com is an AI-enabled and cloud-based marketplace for anodizing, powder coating and electroless nickel finishing services. Rapid Axis is a manufacturer of metal fabrication, prototype machining and custom component supplies for OEMs in North America, with a client roster that includes Disney, Thermo Fisher and Rivian.
HeyScottie and Rapid Axis collaborated to solve the challenge of sourcing parts and finishes for manufacturing on demand (MOD) and prototype projects, with HeyScottie supplying the AI-driven finishing sourcing engine to power RFQ results for Rapid Axis highly customized prototyping customer needs.
The resulting collaboration compressed the RFQ process from months to minutes. In the first prototyping case study initiative, $5,000 was saved, a 50% reduction in RFQ turnaround time was reported, and the scrap rate reduced to zero.
