The Machinist
|February 2025
In an interview with ET Now Machinist's Amit Shanbaug, Xpedeon CEO Janak Vakharia discusses how AI-powered ERP is transforming manufacturing and construction as industries worldwide embrace digital transformation to optimize costs, enhance efficiency, and drive innovation.
For industries that have traditionally relied on processes, manual the and integration of Al-powered ERP solutions is proving to be revolutionary. "Manufacturing construction have struggled with inefficiencies in project planning, cost long management, and resource allocation. Al-driven ERP solutions are allowing businesses to gain real-time insights, optimise supply chains, and make smarter, data-backed decisions," Vakharia explained.
Beyond just automation, AI is providing a level of predictive intelligence that businesses previously lacked. With increasing cost pressures, regulatory changes, and workforce shortages, companies need smarter solutions to stay ahead. AI-powered ERP enables predictive analytics, helping firms foresee risks, prevent delays, and ensure better project execution. It allows managers to be proactive rather than reactive, improving efficiency and reducing unexpected costs.
ENHANCING PRODUCTIVITY AND COST EFFICIENCY One of the most significant advantages of Al-integrated ERP systems is their impact on productivity and cost control. "AI is revolutionising how businesses operate, from automating repetitive tasks to enhancing demand forecasting," said Vakharia. Machine learning algorithms now predict project timelines, optimise procurement, and improve resource allocation-ultimately boosting profitability.
