Why Modernise Now?
Many Sri Lankan and South‑Asian factories still rely on isolated PLCs and manual checks. AI‑ready automation layers unify these islands, unlocking predictive insights and smoother workflows.
Key Building Blocks
• Unified Data Layer – edge gateways collect sensor, PLC, and MES data into a real‑time data lake.
• Computer‑Vision Quality Control – smart cameras detect defects and auto‑tune machines mid‑run.
• Predictive Maintenance – ML models forecast bearing or motor failures days in advance, slashing unexpected downtime.
• Conversational Plant Twin – managers without ERP expertise can converse with the factory: “Show Line 3 bottlenecks” → AI returns root‑cause analysis.
Quick‑Win Roadmap

1. Instrument the line with vision sensors.
2. Deploy a cloud‑agnostic data broker.
3. Train failure‑prediction models on six months of sensor logs.

Impact Snapshot
Local electronics manufacturer E‑Craft saw defect rates fall 28 % and maintenance call‑outs drop 18 % within the first two quarters of rollout.
