Cishe zonke izinkampani ezizama ukusebenzisa ubuhlakani bokwenziwa zibhekana nombuzo ofanayo: akulula ukuhlanganisa lobu buchwepheshe ngempela emisebenzini yansuku zonke. Isiqhwaga sezimboni i-Caterpillar sesinamashumi eminyaka sibhekana nezinselele ezifanayo emhlabeni ophathekayo, futhi manje sisebenzisa ulwazi esiluqongelele ukuze senze i-AI isebenze ngokugcwele.
I-Caterpillar yaqala ukungena ekuzenzakaleleni emkhakheni wezimayini, ngoba ukushoda kwabasebenzi nezimo zokusebenza eziyingozi kwenza ubuchwepheshe bokuzenzakalela bube wusizo kakhulu kulo mkhakha. Namuhla, le nkampani ihlinzeka ngamaloli ezokuthutha azishayelayo, imishini yokumba, izilayishi ezingaphansi komhlaba, ogandaganda, imishini yobunjiniyela elawulwa kude neminye imikhiqizo, kanye nezinsizakalo ezifana nezikhungo zokulawula isoftware, ukuphathwa kwemikhumbi yemishini nobuhlakani bendawo obukude, okwakha isixazululo esiphelele sokuzenzakalela.
UJaime Mineart, oyi-CTO ye-Caterpillar, utshele i-TechCrunch ekuqaleni kwale nyanga engqungqutheleni ye-Ai4 eLas Vegas wathi: “Sisesigabeni esijabulisa kakhulu. Singathatha lonke ulwazi esiluqongelele emkhakheni wezimayini siluse ezindaweni eziguquguqukayo kakhulu, njengezindawo zokusebenza, izimayini zamatshe nezindawo zokwakha.”
Manje lesi siqhwiqwa sezimboni sesandisa ukusetshenziswa kwe-AI ezindaweni eziningi, okuhlanganisa amathuluzi enzelwe ochwepheshe kanye nabasebenzi bangaphakathi benkampani.
Isibonelo esisodwa yi-Cat AI Assistant. Uma ochwepheshe basensimini bemi eduze komshini, bangasebenzisa imiyalelo yezwi ukuze bathole izinqubo zokulungisa, bahlole izinkinga ezingaba khona futhi banqume izingxenye ezingase zidinge ukushintshwa ngaphambi kokuqala ukulungisa. UMineart uthi amakhasimende, abasebenzisi bemishini kanye nochwepheshe sebeqalile ukuyisebenzisa leli thuluzi.
Lo msizi we-AI usebenza ngedatha yobunikazi ye-Caterpillar, okuhlanganisa ulwazi oluningi olukhiqizwa yimishini yayo exhunyiwe. UMineart uthi i-Caterpillar manje inemishini exhunyiwe engaba yizigidi ezingu-1.6 emhlabeni wonke, kanti umthamo wedatha ehleliwe ungaphezu kuka-16 PB.
Uphinde wathi i-Caterpillar isebenzisa i-AI ukusekela isoftware ehambisanayo, njengokuskena izindawo zokusebenza nokukhiqiza amamodeli ama-digital twin ngesikhathi sokukhiqiza ukuze ihlaziye ukusebenza kokukhiqiza.
Njengezinye izinkampani eziningi, i-Caterpillar nayo isebenzisa i-AI ekusebenzeni kwangaphakathi kwenkampani nasekuthuthukiseni isoftware. UMineart uthi: “Sisebenzisa ama-agent e-AI ukuthuthukisa ikhodi endala, ukukhiqiza nokuhlola isoftware entsha, kanye nokuthola amaphutha kusenesikhathi.”
Nokho, uMineart washeshe waveza ukuthi ukuthuthukisa ubuchwepheshe obufanele kuyingxenye eyodwa kuphela yale nselele. Ukuthumela umshini owodwa ozenzakalelayo akufani nokwenza yonke indawo yokusebenza yamukele i-AI ngempela. Izinkampani kufanele ziphinde zicabange ngendlela abasebenzi okufanele basebenzisane ngayo nalobu buchwepheshe nokuthi yiziphi izinguquko ezidingekayo ezinqubweni ezikhona.
Uthe: “Ingxenye enzima kakhulu yokuzenzakalela ne-physical AI ukuthi lobu buchwepheshe buhlanganiswa kanjani ngempela nezindawo zokusebenza nezinqubo zokusebenza zamakhasimende.”
UMineart uthe i-Caterpillar izoncika kubasebenzisi bemishini abanolwazi ukuze basize ekuqeqesheni amasistimu e-AI, isebenzise ngokugcwele ulwazi lomkhakha nobungoti laba basebenzi ababubuthe emashumini eminyaka.
Njengoba imishini iqhubeka iba ezenzakalelayo, indlela abanye abasebenzisi abasebenza ngayo nayo ingashintsha. Esikhathini esizayo bangase bangabe besalawula umshini owodwa ngokuqondile, kodwa bagade imishini eminingi ngesikhathi esisodwa besebenzisa isikhungo sokulawula esikude.
Nokho, lolu shintsho luphinde lwalethela i-Caterpillar inselele entsha: ukuthi iqeqeshe kanjani abasebenzi bayo abangu-118,000.
UMineart uthe eminyakeni emihlanu ezayo i-Caterpillar ihlela ukutshala u-$100 million (Qaphela: ngezinga lamanje lokushintshisana cishe u-¥674 million) ekuqeqesheni abasebenzi ngobuchwepheshe be-AI, ukuzenzakalela namarobhothi.
Lokhu kutshalwa kwezimali kungenzeka futhi kusize i-Caterpillar ibambe ithuba lokukhula ngokushesha kwengqalasizinda ye-AI, okuwumkhuba osuvele uqala ukukhulisa imali engenayo yenkampani.
Imali engenayo ye-Caterpillar kwikota yesibili yafinyelela ezingeni elirekhodiwe lama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-20.5 (ngezinga lamanje lokushintshisana cishe u-¥138.083 billion), kanti isidingo esinamandla semishini yokuphehla ugesi esetshenziswa ezikhungweni zedatha sibe yinto ebalulekile eqhube ukukhula komsebenzi.
Ukuthengiswa komnyango webhizinisi lokuphehla ugesi kukhule ngo-72% unyaka nonyaka, kwafinyelela ku-$3.1 billion (ngezinga lamanje lokushintshisana cishe u-¥20.881 billion). UJoe Creed, oyi-CEO ye-Caterpillar, uthe ngenxa yesidingo esikhulayo se-cloud computing nengqalasizinda ye-generative AI, “akekho owehlisa ijubane.”
