Direct AI vs ORCA automation, who wins purchase-order entry?
AI is the topic of the day.
Many manufacturers are interested in using AI.
One area of interest is turning documents like purchase orders into data automatically.
For example, you can also prompt ChatGPT like this.
Please organize this purchase order into an Excel spreadsheet.
But that is not enough. To actually build production data, you still have to connect material information through BOM and BOP.
Then you end up writing Excel functions in-house, or uploading the Excel file to ChatGPT and asking it to “connect this” again.
ORCA automated this part.
So how is that different from using AI yourself?
- ORCA uses the latest AI models.
It applies the latest ChatGPT models that are usually too expensive to use. - It connects to MES data.
Because it connects to MES data, when it reads a purchase order, it can also show material cost from BOP.
Automation is not the only benefit.
You can manage data across the whole production process in one pipeline.
