The assistant gives manufacturing floor operators instant access to troubleshooting and diagnostic information, drawing on relevant documents, incident tickets, and knowledge articles from multiple systems. The first iteration was built in one week, with additional data sources integrated over following weeks. Since launch, the assistant has provided employees globally with real-time access to over 1,700 policies, manufacturing specifications, and troubleshooting documents in various languages, reducing average troubleshooting time and improving diagnostic accuracy. Jabil went on to build two further Amazon Q Business-powered assistants, an Intelligent Customer Research Assistant and an Intelligent Procurement Assistant.","company":"Jabil","industry":"Manufacturing","country":"United States","aiCapabilities":["Conversational AI","Generative AI","Document Intelligence"],"technology":["Amazon Q Business"],"deployment":"Public Cloud","problemStatement":"Jabil faced challenges with large volumes of machine data siloed at individual sites across more than 100 manufacturing facilities in more than 25 countries, lacking a centralized place for data, especially for analytics requiring cross-domain data, which limited its ability to quickly develop data analytics solutions to respond to business demands.","solutionApproach":"Jabil collaborated with AWS Professional Services and the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center to build an intelligent shop floor assistant, a chatbot powered by generative AI on Amazon Q Business, giving manufacturing floor operators instant access to troubleshooting and diagnostic information drawn from relevant documents, incident tickets, and knowledge articles across multiple systems.
