The IQA Lean Copilot combines AI and Lean expertise to deliver continuous transparency, faster decision-making, and scalable Lean Manufacturing.
The IQA Lean Copilot helps operations teams to make faster, better decisions every day. It continuously analyzes production performance, uncovers inefficiencies, and recommends actions to drive measurable improvement. By turning Lean methods into an AI-powered system, IQA enables manufacturers to scale continuous improvement methods.
Automatically visualize and analyze your entire value stream to uncover inefficiencies and actionable insights with a single click. IQA uses data from existing IT systems to automatically reconstruct the actual process flows and material movements, eliminating the need for manual process mapping. This enables teams to make decisions based on facts rather than assumptions.
Turn existing manufacturing data into smart, context-driven insights that pinpoint and prioritize the most impactful improvement opportunities. IQA continuously monitors production performance to detect performance issues before they become costly. This allows teams to focus resources where they deliver the greatest return and stay aligned with operational goals.
Effortlessly implement and scale improvements, track progress, and foster collaboration across teams to achieve lasting results. Standardize best practices, sustain momentum, and ensure visibility across all plants. Continuous improvement becomes a living, measurable part of daily operations.
Value streams for all products are automatically reconstructed from existing data. Instead of a labor-intensive, manual snapshot, all production and logistics processes are continuously captured in the digital twin and are analyzable on a broad data foundation.
IQA provides automated Lean analyses to detect waste in production processes and prioritize resulting action areas. Weaknesses are automatically identified and traced back to their root causes through AI-powered techniques.
IQA enables the rapid and data-driven identification of untapped productivity opportunities, along with the continuous monitoring of manufacturing KPIs. This effectively supports both daily shop floor management and continuous improvement process (CIP) through data-centric approaches.
IQA integrates the concepts of "lean" and "green": By analyzing the energy and CO2 footprint within the value stream, measures for enhancing efficiency and sustainability can be harmonized, resulting in holistic and comprehensive improvements.
The IQA Copilot combines deep Lean knowledge with advanced AI to detect inefficiencies, recommend corrective actions, and shorten time to impact. Intelligent agents monitor performance, run simulations, and guide teams to the next best improvement, making Lean faster, smarter, and predictive.
Value stream visualizations and AI-guided analyses tailored for manufacturing are already integrated, enabling easy and immediate deployment by your team. There's no requirement for configuration or extensive expertise in AI and data mining.
Order and material flows are captured and analyzed at the push of a button, even in multi-stage and interconnected value streams. IQA utilizes Industrial Process Mining techniques specifically designed for production processes, along with machine learning algorithms, to provide in-depth insights into complex processes.
Through automated data quality checks, implausible booking data can be swiftly detected and excluded, enabling data-driven process analyses even with flawed source data. Additionally, the quality of the data can be specifically examined and analyzed.
IQA is a lightweight, cloud-based extension of your existing IT systems. Implementation typically takes only a few days and requires no additional infrastructure.
